Points To Rectangles

Creates rectangles from points in a point dataset and user defined width, height rotation angle and location of the point.

Inputs:

• A Point feature class
• Rectangle Width. The width can be fixed for all points or different assigned from the values in a numeric field of the point attribute table
• Rectangle Height. The height can be fixed for all points or different assigned from the values in a numeric field of the point attribute table
• Rotation angle. The angle can be fixed for all points or different assigned from the values in a numeric field of the point attribute table
• Point location. This parameter defines what will be the location of the resulting rectangles in relation to the original points. 

Outputs:

• New polygon feature class. All the original field values will be transferred from the points to the polygons.

Notes:

• The values for the Width and the Height should be in the units of the spatial reference of the input Point dataset
• The angle (if used) should be in Decimal Degrees and have Polar orientation - East = 0, anti-clockwise

Examples:

Width = 300, Height = 200 Angle = 15, Location = "Center"	Width = 300, Height = 200 Angle = 15, Location = "LL" (Lower Left)	Width = 300, Height = 200 Angle = 0, Location = "UR" (Upper Right)
