WaterGEMS for ArcMap Network Editing

Hi Kristen,

Yes, I am in an edit session and using the WaterGEMS selection tool.  Should I just be able to right click on a junction I want to merge and select "merge nodes in close proximity"?  When I right click on a junction with the WaterGEMS selection tool I get the ArcMap options and not the WaterGEMS editing options that I would expect in the stand alone WaterGEMS version.

Is it possible that I my version of WaterGEMS and ArcMap aren't compatible? My WaterGEMS version is 08.11.06.58 and my ArcMap version is 10.2.2.3552.

Thanks for your help!

Chris

Hi Chris,

You mentioned that you're right clicking with the WaterGEMS Selection tool. Can you confirm that you're using the one circled below in red? Using the same versions you have, I see the Merge Nodes option when right-clicking (after entering an Edit session).

Yes. I can confirm that I am using the selection tool you have circled in red. If I right click in the "blank space" of my map the WaterGEMS editing options show up but they are all grayed out. If I do the same right click directly on the junction I just get the ArcMap options. I can also confirm that I am able to make edits to element properties in the WaterGEMS element control window.

If you're able to select and use the WaterGEMS Select tool, then it sounds like your Project is indeed open, like in the below screenshot (accessed from WaterGEMS > View > Project Manager

Are you sure that the element you're right clicking on is a WaterGEMS element? Do you get the WaterGEMS menu options if you right click on a pipe?

Do you see any problems in the Table of Contents? (Window > Table of Contents) You should see a single layer for each element type, with no red exclamation points).

As a test, can you try starting a new Map, Add Existing Project, select one of the example models within the Samples folder under the WaterGEMS installation folder, save a new geodatabase in the same folder, start an edit session and see if the context menu works?

If this does not help, we'll open a Service Request, connect with you offline to troubleshoot, then circle back to this forum thread once resolved.

I tested the example project file and had no issue getting the merge nodes tool to work from the right click menu. I then opened my project file and IT WORKED!!! Problem solved. I'm wondering if my pc just needed a hard re-boot and re-opening my .mxd. Thanks for your help Jesse and Kristen!

Hmm, strange. Glad to hear its working now though!
