Point at beginning of line

The Point at beginning of line builder generates a point feature at a specified offset at the first vertex of a line feature you create in a map.

This builder is available to feature templates that create point features when a group template is configured with the following settings:

• The primary template creates point or line features.
• The group template toolset on the Tools side tab is set to Line tools or Radial tools.

Note:

This builder is also available to primary templates that create point features when the toolset is set to Radial tools.

Parameter	Explanation	Setting type
Position along the line	The distance from the last vertex of the primary line at which the new point feature is created. None—Distance is equal to zero. This is the default setting. Distance—Distance is specified in units selected from a drop-down list. Proportional—Distance is specified as a ratio of the segment length; for example, 50 equals 50 percent and is interpreted as the midpoint.	Optional
Offset to the side of the line	The distance from the left or right side of the primary line at which the new point feature is created. None—Offset is equal to zero. This is the default setting.
