Generate Isogonic Lines (Topographic Production)

Resumen

Generates isomagnetic lines based on the World Magnetic Model.

Uso

• This tool appends isogonic line features to the Target Isogonic Features parameter value.

• This tool will not overwrite features in the Target Isogonic Features parameter value. Before running this tool with an extent that has already been run, delete the features for the earlier extent.

• This tool uses the World Magnetic Model 5-year epoch specific to the data provided. For example, if the data specified is from 2020, the model epoch released at the end of 2019 will be used.

• The Altitude parameter value is the elevation as a linear unit of the input points and must be a numeric value above sea level. This parameter applies the same elevation value to all isogonic lines generated by the tool. Do not use decimal degrees or unknown as the unit of measurement.

• The Date parameter value must be valid for the specified World Magnetic Model and formatted as two digits for the month, two digits for the day, and four digits for the year.

• To specify a value smaller than 1 degree for the Interval parameter, use 0.25 for 15 minutes, 0.50 for 30 minutes, and 0.75 for 45 minutes.

Etiqueta	Explicación	Tipo de datos
Input Extent Features	The area of interest where the lines will be created.	Feature Layer
Altitude	The elevation of the Input Extent Features parameter value including the linear unit. The default is 0 meters.	Linear Unit
Date	The date for which the magnetic field values will be calculated. The default is the system's current date.	Date
Interval	The interval or distance between lines in degrees. The value can be any positive number. The default is 1.	Double
Base	The amount that isogonic lines will be generated above and below to cover the input value range.	Double
Target Isogonic Features	An existing feature class to which the isogonic lines will be appended.	Feature Layer
Magnetic Variance Field	The field from the Target Isogonic Features parameter value that will store magnetic variance values.	Field
Subtype (Opcional)	The subtype where isogonic lines will be written if the Target Isogonic Features parameter value has subtypes.	String
Include Annual Drift (Opcional)	Specifies whether annual drift will be calculated. Annual drift is used in maritime workflows. Checked—The annual drift will be calculated. Unchecked—The annual drift will not be calculated. This is the default.	Boolean
Annual Drift Field (Opcional)	A field in the Target Isogonic Features parameter value that will store the calculated annual drift values. The parameter accepts fields that have a Text, Double, or Float data type. This parameter is active when the Include Annual Drift parameter is checked.	Field
