Straight line diagrams and definition queries (Production Mapping)

注意:

At version 10.2.1, linear referencing functionality is deprecated. Tools associated with linear referencing in Production Mapping can still be found in the Customize dialog box, but the Production Linear Referencing toolbar is no longer available. At the next major release of Production Mapping, this functionality will not be available.

It is recommended that you use Esri Roads and Highways to maintain your linear referencing information.

When you create straight line diagrams for multiple routes, the diagrams all reside in the same geographic location. This means that you might see information displayed in your straight line diagram that does not apply to the route that you are interested in. Displaying the correct information in the straight line diagram is managed through definition queries. The Apply Definition Query to Straight Line Diagram tool automatically manages definition queries for you. This drop-down list contains the route identifiers for all diagrams in your map. By choosing a route identifier from the list, the straight line diagram in your map is automatically updated to display information only about the selected route.

Straight line diagrams can also be used in conjunction with Data Driven Pages for creating map books. Both of these tools have built-in functionality for managing definition queries that keep the display of features in both the geometric and straight line diagrams synchronized. Before using either map book tool, it is recommended that you clear any definition queries set using the Apply Definition Query to Straight Line Diagram tool. This can be done by choosing the Select All option from the list. For more information on managing definition queries using Data Driven Pages, see Using Page Definition Queries.
