Generate Routes

Available with Location Referencing license.

Summary

Re-creates shapes and applies calibration changes for route features in an LRS Network.

Legacy:

This tool has been replaced by the ArcGIS Pro Generate Routes tool and will be deprecated in the next release.

Usage

• Input the LRS Network whose features need to be regenerated or need calibration changes applied based on the route shape from the centerline feature class, and measure values from the calibration point feature class.

Syntax

GenerateRoutes_locref (in_route_features, {record_calibration_changes})

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_route_features	The LRS Network for which route shapes will be regenerated and calibration changes will be applied.	Feature Layer
record_calibration_changes (Optional)	RECORD_CALIBRATION_CHANGES —Any calibration points created, modified, or deleted outside the ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing tools will be applied to the routes in the network and event behaviors will be applied the next time Apply Event Behaviors is run. NO_RECORD_CALIBRATION_CHANGES —Calibration changes will be applied to the routes in the LRS Network, but no event behaviors will be applied. This is the default.	Boolean

Derived Output

Name	Explanation	Data Type
out_route_features	Updated route feature layer.	Feature Layer
out_derived_route_features	The updated LRS Network to which route shapes have been generated and calibration changes have been applied.	Feature Layer
out_details_file	A text file that details the routes that were updated in the LRS Network feature class.	Text File

Code sample

GenerateRoutes example 1 (Python window)

Demonstrates how to use GenerateRoutes in immediate mode.

# Import arcpy module
import arcpy

# Local variables
in_route_features = r'C:\Data\PipelineReferencing.gdb\LineNetwork'
record_calibration_changes = "NO_RECORD_CALIBRATION_CHANGES"

# Set current workspace
arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/Data/PipelineReferencing.gdb"

# Execute the tool
arcpy.GenerateRoutes_locref(in_route_features, record_calibration_changes)

GenerateRoutes example 2 (stand-alone script)

Demonstrates how to use GenerateRoutes in a stand-alone Python script.

# Name: GenerateRoutes_ex2.py
# Description: Recreates shapes and applies calibration changes for route features in a LRS Network.
# Requirements: ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing

# Import arcpy module
import arcpy

# Check out any necessary licenses
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("LocationReferencing")

# Local variables
in_route_features = r'C:\Data\PipelineReferencing.gdb\LineNetwork'
record_calibration_changes = "RECORD_CALIBRATION_CHANGES"

# Execute the tool
arcpy.GenerateRoutes_locref(in_route_features, record_calibration_changes)
