ArcMap

Creating two intersecting circles

Mit der Production Mapping-Lizenz verfügbar.

The Circle Circle Intersection function creates two overlapping circles. The circles are created based on two individual coordinates and radii that are defined.

Example of input and output for the Circle Circle Intersection function
  1. Start ArcMap.
  2. On the menu bar, click Customize > Toolbars > Production Feature Builder.
  3. Click the Feature Builder button Feature Builder on the Production Feature Builder toolbar.

    The Feature Builder window appears.

  4. If the scratch dataset has not been added to the table of contents, click the Add Scratch Data Layers button Add scratch data layers at the top of the Feature Builder window.

    The dataset is added to the map using the current spatial reference.

  5. Choose Circle Circle Intersection in the list on the Functions tab.

  6. Define a coordinate for the start point of the polyline by doing one of the following:
    • Click the Pinprick tool Pinprick on the Production Feature Builder toolbar and click the map
    • Type the coordinates in the cells on the Input tab in the Coordinates area.

  7. Repeat step 6 to define a coordinate for the centerpoint of the second circle.
  8. Click the cell next to Radius 1 and type a value for the radius of the first circle.

    This is the radius of the first circle. The default unit is Nautical Miles.

  9. Click the cell next to Radius 2 and type a value for the radius of the second circle.

    This is the radius of the second circle. The default unit is Nautical Miles.

  10. Click the Execute button Execute.

Two overlapping circles are created.
