Dissolve/Concatenate Event Layers

Both Dissolve and Concatenate functions combine records in an event table if the events are on the same route and have the same value in a specified field. The functions are available for line event layers only. The wizard allows the resulting data to be added to the map as a line event layer or a standalone table.

• Dissolve will combine the events if their measures overlap
• Concatenate will combine the events if the TO measure of one event is equal to the FROM measure of the next event

Input:

• An line event layer
• A dissolve/concatenate field - the values of the records in this field will be used for dissolving/concatenating of the events

Output:

• A new dbf table with the aggregated events 
• The dbf table will contain all the original fields of the table of the input event layer

Notes:

• If the option to add the result as an event layer, an additional field will be available
  • [ET_Error] - indicates whether the event was properly located. If the value in this field indicates some kind of error the shape of the event point will be empty.
