Cutting line features

Cut Line is one of the options for the Aviation Line Bypass tool. It cuts line features at point features, for example, navaids and compass roses, when the line features intersect the symbol geometry of the point features. You can choose to cut the bypasses for a selected line, or run the process on an entire feature class.

Note:

This tool requires a projected coordinate system set within the active data frame's properties.

   Note:

   If you don't have a line feature selected, it will still process features based on the definition query on the line feature layer.
