Label | Explanation | Data Type |
Input Table
| The table containing the source coordinates. | Table View |
Output Line Feature Class
|
The feature class containing the output line features. | Feature Class |
Start X Field (longitude, UTM, MGRS, USNG, GARS, GEOREF)
| The field in the input table containing the starting x or longitude coordinates. | Field |
End X Field (longitude, UTM, MGRS, USNG, GARS, GEOREF)
|
The field in the input table containing the ending x or longitude coordinates. | Field |
Input Coordinate Format
| Specifies the format of the point coordinates.
| String |
Start Y Field (latitude)
(Optional) | The field in the input table containing the starting y or latitude coordinates. The Start Y Field (latitude) parameter is used when the Input Coordinate Format parameter is set to Decimal Degrees - Two Fields, Degrees and Decimal Minutes - Two Fields, or Degrees Minutes and Seconds - Two Fields. | Field |
End Y Field (latitude)
(Optional) | The field in the input table containing the ending y or latitude coordinates. The End Y Field (latitude) parameter is used when the Input Coordinate Format parameter is set to Decimal Degrees - Two Fields, Degrees and Decimal Minutes - Two Fields, or Degrees Minutes and Seconds - Two Fields. | Field |
Line Type
(Optional) | Specifies the output line type.
| String |
Output Coordinate System
(Optional) | The spatial reference of the output feature class. The default is GCS_WGS_1984. | Spatial Reference |
Summary
Creates 2-point line features from coordinates stored in a table.
Usage
The output lines are created by connecting starting and ending point coordinate pairs.
Each starting and ending point coordinate pair will become a separate line feature in the output feature class.
Parameters
arcpy.defense.CoordinateTableTo2PointLine(in_table, out_feature_class, start_x_or_lon_field, end_x_or_lon_field, in_coordinate_format, {start_y_or_lat_field}, {end_y_or_lat_field}, {line_type}, {coordinate_system})
Name | Explanation | Data Type |
in_table | The table containing the source coordinates. | Table View |
out_feature_class |
The feature class containing the output line features. | Feature Class |
start_x_or_lon_field | The field in the input table containing the starting x or longitude coordinates. | Field |

| String |
start_y_or_lat_field (Optional) | The field in the input table containing the starting y or latitude coordinates. The start_y_or_lat_field parameter is used when the in_coordinate_format parameter is set to DD_2, DDM_2, or DMS_2. | Field |
end_y_or_lat_field (Optional) | The field in the input table containing the ending y or latitude coordinates. The end_y_or_lat_field parameter is used when the in_coordinate_format parameter is set to DD_2, DDM_2, or DMS_2. | Field |

| String |
coordinate_system (Optional) | The spatial reference of the output feature class. The default is GCS_WGS_1984. | Spatial Reference |
Code sample
The following Python window script demonstrates how to use the CoordinateTableTo2PointLine function.
import arcpy
arcpy.env.workspace = r"C:/Data.gdb"
arcpy.CoordinateTableTo2PointLine_defense(r"C:/CSV/Tableto2PointLine.csv",
"OutputLines", "POINT_X", "POINT_X2",
"DD_2", "POINT_Y", "POINT_Y2")
Create line features from a table and densify the lines.
# Description: Densify line features created from tabular data
# Import system modules
import arcpy
# Set environment settings
arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/Data.gdb"
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True
# Create lines
input_table = r"C:/CSV/TableTo2PointLine.csv"
result_line = "TableTo2Point"
arcpy.CoordinateTableTo2PointLine_defense(input_table, result_line, "POINT_X",
"POINT_X2", "DD_2", "POINT_Y",
"POINT_Y2")
# Densify lines
arcpy.Densify_edit(result_line, "DISTANCE", "2 Kilometers")
