Finding an upstream path

  1. Click the tool palette drop-down arrow on the Utility Network Analyst toolbar and click a flag tool button (Add Junction Flag or Add Edge Flag).
  2. Click Analysis and click Options.
  3. Click the Results tab.
  4. Click Selection to return the results of the analysis as selections.

  12. Click on the map to place a flag at the origin point.
  13. Click the Trace Task drop-down arrow and click Trace Downstream.
  14. Click the Solve button Solve.
  15. Click Analysis and click Options.
  16. Click the General tab and click Unselected features to treat the current selections as barriers.
  17. Click OK.
  18. On the main menu, click Selection > Interactive Selection Method > Create New Selection.
  19. Click on the map to place a flag at the destination point.
  20. Click the Trace Task drop-down arrow and click Find Path.
  21. Click the Solve button Solve.
