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)
<direction_field> A String representing the name of a field in the in the attribute table of the input dataset field name.  The field has the values for the directions of the lines to be created.
<distance_field> A String representing the name of a field in the in the attribute table of the input dataset field name.  The field has the values for the distances of the lines to be created.
<NorthAzimuth | SouthAzimuth | Polar | QuadrantBearing> Direction Type. A String -  the type of the output angle for the direction of the segments.
<DD | DMS | Radians | Gradians | Gons> Direction Unit. A String -  the type of the output angle for the direction of the segments.
