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 an input line has only two vertices, the line will be copied to the output as is. Otherwise, every segment between consecutive vertices will become a line feature in the output. The output feature class can be a much larger file, depending on the number of vertices the input features have.

  • A parametric (true) curve line or segment will not be densified and will remain a true curve as an output line feature. This does not apply to shapefile data.
