Label | Explanation | Data Type |
Input Table
| The table containing the source coordinates. | Table View |
Output Bearing Lines Feature Class
| The feature class containing the output lines of bearing. | Feature Class |
X Field (longitude, UTM, MGRS, USNG, GARS, GEOREF)
| The field in the input table containing the x or longitude coordinates. | Field |
Bearing Field
| The field in the input table containing the bearing values. | Field |
Distance Field
| The field in the input table containing the distance values. | Field |
Input Coordinate Format
| Specifies the format of the input table coordinates.
| String |
Bearing Units
(Optional) | Specifies the unit of measurement for the bearing angles.
| String |
Distance Units
(Optional) | Specifies the units of measurement for the distance.
| 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 Type
(Optional) | Specifies the output line type.
| String |
Output Coordinate System
(Optional) | The spatial reference of the output feature class. The default is GCS_WGS_1984. | Spatial Reference |
Summary
Creates lines of bearing from coordinates stored in a table.
Usage
The output line feature class will have fields for both bearing and distance values.
Parameters

Code sample
The following Python window script demonstrates how to use the CoordinateTableToLineOfBearing function.
import arcpy
arcpy.env.workspace = r"C:/Data.gdb"
arcpy.CoordinateTableToLineOfBearing_defense(r"C:CSV/TableToLineOfBearing.csv",
"LOB",
"x",
"Orientation",
"Distance",
"DD_2",
"DEGREES",
"KILOMETERS",
"y")
The following example uses the CoordinateTableToLineOfBearing function in an example workflow script.
# Description: Create lines of bearing from tabular data and then create
# bounding envelopes around each line.
# Import system modules
import arcpy
# Set environment settings
arcpy.env.workspace = r"C:/Data.gdb"
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True
# Create lines of bearing
input_table = r"C:/CSV/TableToLineOfBearing.csv"
result_line = "Output_LOB"
arcpy.CoordinateTableToLineOfBearing_defense(input_table,
result_line,
"x",
"Orientation",
"Distance",
"DD_2",
"DEGREES",
"KILOMETERS",
"y")
# Create envelopes
result_envelope = "Output_Envelope"
arcpy.FeatureEnvelopeToPolygon_management(result_line, result_envelope)
