Selecting events by proximity

Disponible con licencia de Location Referencing.

You can use the proximity selection tools available in the ArcGIS Event Editor to select events on the map on the basis of their nearness to a given feature. The selection tools are:

Proximity OptionFunction

Along route path

Selects events intersecting a route on either side of a point selected on the route.

Buffer from location

Selects events intersecting a buffer from a point location selected on the map.

Buffer from route

Selects events intersecting a buffer created on a route segment.

Selecting events along a route path

You can select events using their proximity from a particular point along a route. For example, if there is an error in data at a point on the route and you want to find the events along the route that might be affected by that erroneous point.

  1. Abra Event Editor y, si se le solicita, inicie sesión en Portal for ArcGIS o ArcGIS Online.
  2. Haga clic en la pestaña Editar.
  3. Choose the event layer from which to select events.

    You can browse the list of layers by keystroke. For example, press the S key in the drop-down menu to jump to the first layer in your list that begins with the letter s.

  4. In the Selection group, click Select > Select by Proximity.
    Selecting events along a route path

    The Select by Proximity widget appears.

    Select by Proximity: Along route path

  5. Optionally, click the Type drop-down arrow and choose Along route path.
  6. Click the Network drop-down arrow and choose the network associated with the event.
  7. Type a route ID in the Route ID text box.

  9. Type a proximity distance in the Distance text box.

    All the events within this distance on either side of the point that intersect the route will be selected. The proximity will be calculated based on the measure values along the route.

  10. Click the units drop-down arrow and choose the units for the proximity distance.
  11. Click Select.

All the events within the proximity distance, for example 1.2 miles, on either side of the point along the route will be selected. In the case of a network that supports lines, all the events present at a distance of 1.2 miles on either side of the point along the line will be selected. The results will be displayed in the form of a table.

Once the event records are selected, you can browse and edit them using the results grid.

Nota:

You cannot edit the selected routes.

Selecting events using a buffer from a location

You can select events using their proximity from a point location on the map.

For example, when an emergency situation such as a spill or leak occurs, it is important to know which critical pipeline features are located within the impacted radius.

  1. Abra Event Editor y, si se le solicita, inicie sesión en Portal for ArcGIS o ArcGIS Online.
  2. Haga clic en la pestaña Editar.
  3. Choose the event layer from which to select events.

  5. Click the Type drop-down arrow and choose Buffer from location.
    Select by Proximity: Buffer from location
  6. Type the geographic latitude and longitude values of a point location on the map in the Location text box.

    The proximity will be calculated from this location.

  7. Type a buffer distance in the Distance text box.

    All the events that intersect this buffer distance will be selected.

  8. Click the units drop-down arrow and choose the buffer units.
  9. Click Select.

All the events that intersect the buffer zone, for example 1 mile from the point location, will be selected. The results will be displayed in the form of a table.

Once the event records are selected, you can browse and edit them using the results grid.
