Split Line at Point (Data Management)

This ArcGIS 3.0 documentation has been archived and is no longer updated. Content and links may be outdated. See the latest documentation.

Summary

Splits line features based on intersection or proximity to point features.

Usage

  • The attributes of the input features will be maintained in the output feature class. The following fields will be added to the output feature class:

    • ORIG_FID—Stores the feature IDs of the input features
    • ORIG_SEQ—Stores the sequence number for each output line following the order of the segments from the starting vertex of the input feature

  • If the Search Radius parameter value is not specified, the nearest point will be used to split the line feature. If the Search Radius parameter value is specified, all points within the search radius will be used to split the line.

Parameters

LabelExplanationData Type
Input Features

The input line features to be split.

Feature Layer
Point Features

The input point features whose locations will be used to split the input lines.

Feature Layer
Output Feature Class

The output feature class that will contain the split lines.

Feature Class
Search Radius
(Optional)

The distance that will be used to split lines by their proximity to point features. Points within the search distance to an input line will be used to split those lines at the nearest location to the point along the line segment.

If this parameter is not specified, the single nearest point will be used to split the line feature. If a radius is specified, all points within the radius will be used to split the line.
