Description:  The tools convert the features from the layer selected in the ET Graphics layer to graphics. The graphics are added to the view using the default symbols. The user can optionally assign names for the graphics to be created:

• By selecting a source field from the attribute table of the layer. The values in this field will be used for naming the graphics.
• By typing the name in the box provided

Icon	Tool Name	Source Layer	Description
	Features To Graphics	Any	Converts the geometries of the selected features to graphic elements.
	Polygon Centroids	Polygon	Converts the centroids of the selected polygons to graphic points.
	Feature Vertices to Graphics	Polygon, Polyline	Converts the vertices of the selected features to graphic points
	Feature Envelopes to Graphics	Polygon, Polyline, Point	Converts selected features to graphics representing their envelopes. For point source layers, one envelope is created for all selected points
	Features to Convex Polygon Graphics	Polygon, Polyline, Point	Converts selected features to graphics representing their convex hulls. For point source layers, one convex polygon is created for all selected points
	Features to Bounding Circle Graphics	Polygon, Polyline, Point	Converts selected features to graphics representing their minimum bounding circles. For point source layers, one bounding circle is created for all selected points
	Features to Bounding Rectangles Graphics	Polygon, Polyline	Converts selected features to graphics representing their minimum bounding rectangles. The rectangles are aligned with the longest axis of the geometry
	Features to Equal Area Circle Graphics	Polygon	Converts selected features to graphic circles that have area equal to the area of the polygons. The center of the circle is the centroid of the polygon.
	Buffer Graphics	Polygon, Polyline, Point	Creates graphics representing selected features buffered with the user specified buffer distance. The buffer distance should be in the units of the spatial reference of the source layer. Press "S" key to set buffer distance
	Graphic Point at distance along	Polygon, Polyline	Creates a graphic point at user specified distance along polyline or polygon boundary Press "S" key to set distance along the polyline.
	Random Point Graphics in Polygon	Polygon	Creates random user specified number of points in selected polygons. Press "S" key to set the number of points per polygon to be created.
	Random Point Graphics on Polyline	Polygon, Polyline	Creates random user specified number of points on selected polylines or the boundaries of selected polygons. Press "S" key to set the number of points per polyline to be created.
