Use the Find Connected workflow to find all features that are topologically connected to a specified start feature. Select a start feature and zero or more stop conditions. The network is traced from the start feature to the stop features. Features with ID_STATE = “open” are treated as not connected.
Start/Stop Feature—If you select features before you start the workflow, these features are used as start or stop feature. Start and stop features must be part of a structural or electric topology, such as devices or conductors. Select one start feature, and optionally select one or more stop features. Use the tools in the Workflows pane to remove, to highlight or to zoom to the selected feature.
You can also define stop conditions. Click Add to use the Stop Condition Editor to define stop conditions.
Include Stop Features—Select Include Stop Features to list all connected features including the stop features. If this checkbox is cleared, stop features are not included in the result list.
Tracing a network without stop features can take a very long time.
Phase To Trace—(Electric NA) If you select a start feature that has a phase information, you can select a phase to trace. Then, the tracing will stop when the feature phase does not match with the selected Phase To Trace.
Direction To Trace—Select the trace direction: Forward, Backward, or Both.
When the tracing has finished, all connected features are displayed in a tree view in the Workflows pane. Use the tools at the top of the Workflows pane to open the feature class form, highlight selected features, and zoom to selected features.
