Splitting line features

Disponible avec une licence Standard ou Advanced.

The Split tool splits a single existing polyline feature into two at a specified location. This is similar to the Create and Intersect Features construction tool, which you can use to create new features by intersecting and dividing preexisting features. The difference is that the Split tool only splits an existing line feature at a single point, while the construction tool can be used to create several features at once.

A line that has been split into two separate features

When the line is split, one of the features keeps the original attributes of the line feature, such as the ObjectID and GFID. The new feature retains the same subtype and related information as the original feature, as appropriate, but has a different ObjectID and GFID.
