The Cartographic Refinement toolset contains tools that enrich symbology by adjusting the alignment and arrangement of symbols and creating bridge and tunnel features.
Tool | Description |
---|---|
Aligns the marker symbol layers of a point feature class to the nearest stroke or fill symbol layers in a line or polygon feature class within a specified search distance. | |
Modifies the cap type for stroke symbol layers in the line symbols of the input layer. | |
Calculates the dominant angles of input polygon features and assigns the values to a field to use to orient symbology such as markers or hatch lines within the polygons. | |
Converts control points in a line or polygon feature layer to vertices. | |
Creates bridge parapets and polygon masks at line intersections to indicate overpasses. | |
Creates bridge parapets and polygon masks at line intersections to indicate underpasses. | |
Finds point symbols that overlap or are too close to one another based on symbology at reference scale and spreads them apart based on a minimum spacing and dispersal pattern. | |
Creates multipart lines or polygons representing the slope between the lines representing the upper and lower parts of a slope. | |
Creates a control point at vertices that are shared by one or more line or polygon features. This tool is commonly used to synchronize boundary symbology on adjacent polygons. | |
Places a control point at vertices along a line or polygon outline where the angle created by a change in line direction is less than or equal to a specified maximum angle. |
