Split Polyline Layer

Go to ToolBox Implementation

Splits a polyline layer with the features of a Point, Polyline or Polygon layer.

Inputs:

A polyline layer which features are to be split
A point, polyline or polygon layer which features will be used for splitting
Attribute update rules for each field
Search distance (Only if a point layer is used as a split layer)

Outputs:

A polyline feature class - a node created in each intersection point between the features from the input polyline layer and the split layer.

Notes:

The two layers should have the same Spatial Reference
Range attributes from string and numeric fields can be handled.The records that have range values containing non numeric characters will be copied to the resulting features.
If a point layer is used as a split layer only the points that are within the search tolerance from the features of the input polyline layer will be used for splitting.

Examples:

	Before Split	After Split
Polyline Layer with Polyline Layer. Attributes updated with Range Address split rule
Polyline Layer with Point Layer Only the points within the search tolerance from the polylines are used.

Command line syntax

ET_GPSplitPolylinesWithFeatureClass <input_dataset> <Split_dataset> <out_feature_class> {search_tolerance}

Parameters

Expression	Explanation
<input_dataset>	A Polyline feature class or feature layer
<Split_dataset>	A Point, Polyline or Polygon feature class or feature layer.
<out_feature_class>	A String - the full name of the output feature class (A feature class with the same full name should not exist)
{search_tolerance}	A Double representing the Search tolerance (in the units of the input dataset) to be used. Ignored if the split feature class is of Polyline or Polygon type
{Update_Rules_List}	A String - a list of fields with their update rules.
