   A feature template for the new layer is automatically generated with default settings.

   Tip:

   If the feature data does not exist, right-click the target geodatabase in the Catalog pane and create a new feature class.

2. On the Edit tab, in the Features group, click Modify .

   The Modify Features pane appears.

3. Select features in the map.
4. In the Modify Features pane, expand the Topographic category and click Populate Angle .

   The Populate Angle tool opens in the pane.

5. In the Modify Features pane, on the Populate Angle page, click Populate.
6. Click once in the active map to create a starting point for the angle, then drag the mouse pointer and click a second point to define the direction of the angle.

   

   The tool automatically pans and zooms to the next feature.

7. Repeat step 6 to update angles for each of the remaining features.

   When you have updated angles for all of the selected features, a message box appears and tells you how many angles have been updated.
