Coordinate Table To 2-Point Line (Defense)

ArcGIS Pro 3.4 | | Help archive

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

LabelExplanationData 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.

  • Decimal Degrees - One FieldCoordinates will be formatted in a decimal degrees coordinate pair stored in a single field with coordinates separated by a space, comma, or slash.
  • Decimal Degrees - Two FieldsCoordinates will be formatted in a decimal degrees coordinate pair stored in two table fields. This is the default.
  • Degrees and Decimal Minutes - One FieldCoordinates will be formatted in a degrees and decimal minutes coordinate pair stored in a single table field with coordinates separated by a space, comma, or slash.
  • Degrees and Decimal Minutes - Two FieldsCoordinates will be formatted in a degrees and decimal minutes coordinate pair stored in two table fields.
  • Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds - One FieldCoordinates will be formatted in a degrees, minutes, and seconds coordinate pair stored in a single table field with coordinates separated by a space, comma, or slash.
  • Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds - Two FieldsCoordinates will be formatted in a degrees, minutes, and seconds coordinate pair stored in two table fields.
  • Global Area Reference SystemCoordinates will be formatted in Global Area Reference System.
  • World Geographic Reference System Coordinates will be formatted in World Geographic Reference System.
  • Universal Transverse Mercator BandsCoordinates will be formatted in Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate bands.
  • Universal Transverse Mercator ZonesCoordinates will be formatted in Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate zones.
  • United States National GridCoordinates will be formatted in United States National Grid.
  • Military Grid Reference SystemCoordinates will be formatted in Military Grid Reference System.
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.

  • Geodesic lineThe shortest distance between any two points on the earth's spheroidal surface (ellipsoid) will be used. This is the default.
  • Great circle lineThe line on a spheroid (ellipsoid) defined by the intersection of a plane passing through the center of the spheroid will be used.
  • Rhumb lineA line of constant bearing or azimuth will be used.
  • Normal sectionA normal plane to the earth's ellipsoidal surface containing the start and end points will be used.
String
Output Coordinate System
(Optional)

The spatial reference of the output feature class. The default is GCS_WGS_1984.
