ReTrace Partial Polylines

Title ReTrace Partial Polylines

Summary

Modifies the shape (polyline) of one feature (target) by replacing all or part of it with a portion of another features (source) shape. The replacment geometry will be the portion of the source features shape between the pair of demarcation points. The demarcation points must have attributes identifying the source and target features. This type of demarcation points is most easily created using the 'Point and Align' construction tool.


Usage

  • If the input polyline features is a layer having a selection set, only the selected features are used.

  • If the input point features is a layer having a selection set, only the selected features are used.

  • This tool modifies the input polyline features. If you do not wish to permanently modify your data, you should export the data to another feature class and execute this tool on the copy.


Syntax

ReTrace_Partial_Polylines (input_polyline_features, input_polyline_feature_id_field, input_point_features, input_point_sourceid_field, input_point_targetid_field)

Parameter Explanation Data Type
input_polyline_features Dialog Reference

The polyline feature class or layer containing the source and target polylines.

Feature Layer
input_polyline_feature_id_field Dialog Reference

The field (string) in the polyline features that specifies the id of the feature. This is the field with values corresponding to the TargetRoute and ReTraceRoute fields of the point features.

Field
input_point_features Dialog Reference

The input point demarcation features. These demarcation points require two attributes. The first specifies the id of the polyline feature that will provide the modifying shape. The second specifies the id of the polyline feature whose shape will be modified.

Feature Layer
input_point_sourceid_field Dialog Reference

The field (string) in the point features that specifies the id of the polyline feature that will provide the modifying shape.

Field
input_point_targetid_field Dialog Reference

The field (string) in the point features that specifies the id of the polyline feature whose shape will be modified.
