CUSTOM FEEDER TRACE TOOL BENEFITS

§ Extends ArcFM Conduit Manager functionality. § Provides a tool for quickly querying what feeders

run through a selected conduit. § Allows for a single feeder to be traced without

falsely mapping conductor lines parallel to the conduit line. § Trace result graphics can be sorted in the TOC,

preventing them from obscuring other features.

Graphical Conduit Trace Report Tool


§ Set the ArcFM Conduit Manager Trace Options.

§ Select the ‘Conduit Manager Find Path Trace’ tool. Click on the conduit at the end points of the trace.

§ Click the button labeled ‘Generate a Graphical Conduit Trace Report.’

§ Click the button labeled ‘Generate a Graphical Conduit Trace Report.’

§ The command loads the ArcMap Page Template and uses the Conduit Manager Find Path Trace results to generate the map.


The Graphical Conduit Trace Report tool’s user interface allows the user to select the output.
