What is a schematic?
One definition of schematic is a simplified representation of an object or a set of objects that is intended to explain its structure and make the way it operates understandable. In ArcGIS Schematics, an object is a network, and the set of objects is the internal information related to network components. Another explanation is that a schematic is a way to represent any type of network within a symbolic system or a defined space without scaling constraints. For example, a defined space is a piece of paper where numerous pieces of information are displayed by optimizing the placement of the features.
