Product Limitations

Product Limitations

• ArcFM Designer XI only supports the design of distribution networks.

• Designer XI supports banks where each phase expected to pass through has a corresponding unit with that phase(s) set in the PhasesNormal attribute.

• Designer XI does not support viewing or modifying passthrough units. Passthrough units must be modified by a GIS editor after the design has been pushed.

• ArcFM ​Designer XI requires the subnetwork controller to be first created in GIS using ArcGIS Pro, before starting the design. This limitation exists in the Geometric Network as well.

• ​ADMS and Designer XI have limited support for UN Junction-to-Junction Connectivity.

• Designer XI does not support representing multiple conductors connected in parallel carrying the same phase or multiple neutral wires. One example is if the first line uses Phase A and a second line was added to compensate for an undersized conductor and also uses Phase A, Designer XI can’t populate or display conductors with two phase A Conductor Info records.
