Coordinate Table To Polygon (Defense)

ArcGIS Pro 3.4 | | Help archive

Summary

Creates polygon features from coordinates stored in a table.

Usage

  • The Coordinate Table To Polygon tool can accept .csv files, dBase tables and geodatabase tables as input when creating polygons.

  • Each row of the input table will become a vertex of an output polygon.

  • Individual polygons can be created using the Line Grouping Field parameter.

Parameters

LabelExplanationData Type
Input Table

The table containing the source coordinates.

Table View
Output Polygon Feature Class

The feature class containing the output polygon features.

Feature Class
X Field (Longitude, UTM, MGRS, USNG, GARS, GeoRef)

The field in the input table containing the x or longitude coordinates.

Field
Input Coordinate Format

Specifies the format of the input table 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
Y Field (Latitude)
(Optional)

The field in the input table containing the y or latitude coordinates.

The 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 Grouping Field
(Optional)

The field in the input table used to create unique polygons. A polygon will be created for each unique value.

Field
Sort Field
(Optional)

The field in the input table used to order the polygon vertices. The field must be a numerical field.

Field
Output Coordinate System
(Optional)

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