Converts a point data set to a polyline feature class
Command line syntax
ET_GPPointToPolyline <input_dataset> <out_feature class> <polylineID_field> {use_order} {order_field} {link_field}
Parameters
| Expression | Explanation |
|---|---|
| <input_dataset> | A Point 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) |
| <polylineID_field> | A String - the name (Case sensitive) of the field which values will indicate the points used to form a single polyline. |
| {use_order} | A Boolean indicating whether the order in which the points describe the polyline will be taken from a field in the attribute table |
| {order_field} | A String - the name (Case sensitive) of a Numeric (integer or double) field which values will indicate the order in which the points describe the polylines. This is ignored (can be set to any string) if {use_order} is False |
| {link_field} | A String - the name of a field to be used as a link between the input points and the output. The values for the first and last point that will form a single polyline will be added to the polyline attribute table. |
