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. |
