Lines from Points Direction and Distance

Creates single segmented polylines from a point dataset that has in the attribute table fields which values represent direction and distance from each point to the target point.

Inputs:

• A Point dataset
• Direction Field - a field in the attribute table that has the values for the directions of the lines to be created
• Distance Field - a field in the attribute table that has the values for the distances (length) of the lines to be created
• Direction Angle Type - the type of the output angle for the direction of the segments

Polar	North Azimuth	South Azimuth	Quadrant Bearing

• Direction Angle Units
  • DD - Decimal Degrees
  • DMS - Degrees Minutes Seconds
  • Rad - Radians
  • Grad - Gradians (One gradian is equal to 1/400 circle)
  • Gon - Gons - used in some European countries (One gon is equal to 1/400 circle)

Outputs:

• New polyline feature class
• The attributes of the input point features are preserved
