 		DEFeatureClass
extent (Optional) Dialog Reference

If specified, only generate lines for features intersecting this extent. By default, the entire network is processed.

Code Samples

CreateAssociationLines example 1 (Python window) 

Synthesize all Junction-Junction associations.

import arcpy

arcpy.udms.CreateAssociationLines("Naperville Network", "JUNCTION_JUNCTION", "memory/AssociationLines")

CreateAssociationLines example 2 (stand-alone script) 

Synthesize Junction-Junction and attachment associations in the current map extent.

import os

import arcpy

network = "Naperville Network"

# Get extent from the active view.
aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("CURRENT")
extent = aprx.activeView.camera.getExtent()

arcpy.udms.CreateAssociationLines(
    network=network,
    association_types=["JUNCTION_JUNCTION", "STRUCTURAL_ATTACHMENT"],
    output_lines=os.path.join(aprx.defaultGeodatabase, "AssociationLines"),
    extent=extent,
    completely_within=False,
)
