We have are drawings in AutoCAD files right know and would like to bring the mains, valves and hydrant over to ArcMap 10.1. My question is on the main segments what the best practice of drawing the segments. Our goal is to identify a main with a water main break and it would show us which valves would be shut off.
1. from valve to valve
2. Fitting to fitting
3. Where you have a 3 or a 4-way valve package - would there be like 3 or 4 small segments?
4. Can you go from tee to tee and if you have an inline valve go through the valve or stop the segment at the valve and have two segments.
