Network Analyst: Selection layers based on network analysis sub-layers open disconnected

Description

Selection layers are created by right-clicking on a feature layer in the table of contents and then clicking on Selection > Create Layer From Selected Features.

Selection layers are based on network analysis sub-layers and are disconnected when the map document is re-opened.

Some examples of sub-layers are:
-stops
-barriers
-routes

Cause

Network analysis layers hold an in-memory workspace containing the feature classes that the sub-layers are referencing examples are route, closest facility, or service area layer. If a selection layer referencing one of these feature classes is opened prior to the network analysis layer, it will be disconnected because the in-memory workspace cannot be found.

Workaround

1. Make sure the selection layer is lower in the table of contents than the analysis layer.
2. Select both the network analysis layer, the composite layer holding all the sub-layers, and the selection layer.
3. Right-click on one of the two layers and click on Group.
4. Right-click on the New Group Layer in the table of contents and click on Properties.
5. Click on the Group Tab.
6. Click on the Symbol Levels button.
7. Check 'Draw this layer using the symbol levels specified below'.
8. Move the selection layer symbols above the other symbols.
