Creating a point feature at an intersection

Disponible con licencia de Production Mapping.

When two or more features intersect in a map, the location of the intersection is often important and may need to be captured. For example, when a trail intersects a major road, you may want to capture the intersection location to associate it with a roadblock or an observation point feature class.

The Production Create Points At Intersections tool allows you to create point features from the intersections of selected line and polygon features and write the new points to the layer associated with the target template.

To create the points at intersections, there must be a clear point at which the lines or polygon boundary intersect. If features are coincident, there is no clear point at which they intersect, so intersection points cannot be created. For instance, if there are two line features that overlap each other, the point of intersection cannot be found because the endpoint of either line feature cannot be distinguished.

Two overlapping lines depict a railroad and bridge that overlap each other.

1. Inicie ArcMap.
2. Si es necesario, cargue datos en el mapa.
3. En el menú principal, haga clic en Personalizar > Barras de herramientas > Edición de producción.
4. En el menú principal, haga clic en Personalizar > Barras de herramientas > Edición de producción avanzada.
5. Haga clic en el botón Iniciar edición de producción en la barra de herramientas Edición de producción.

   Nota:

   Las ventanas Administrar entidades, Crear atributos, Actualizar atributos o Atributos de metadatos aparecen automáticamente al iniciar la sesión de edición con la herramienta Iniciar edición de producción.

   Sugerencia:

   Si las ventanas Crear atributos, Actualizar atributos o Atributos de metadatos no aparecen al iniciar la sesión de edición, haga clic en el botón Mostrar/ocultar atributos de la ventana Administrar entidades.

6. Choose a point template on the Create tab in the Manage Features window.
7. Click the Select Features By Rectangle button and select at least two linear or polygon features.
8. Click the Production Create Points At Intersections button on the Production Editing Advanced toolbar.

A point feature is created at the intersection of the selected features. The new feature has the attributes of the selected template.
