Creating segments from point geometries

获得 Production Mapping 许可后可用。

To create new geometries from existing features, you may need to create lines based on points calculated by other functions or vertices within a geometry. The Create Segment tool allows you to do this using two selected point geometries.

Using the Geodetic library, this tool creates a geodesic segment, which is the shortest surface path connecting two points and is actually a geodensified curve. With the Cartesian library, the segment roughly approximates a geodesic segment.

1. 启动 ArcMap。
2. 在主菜单上，单击自定义 > 工具条 > 生产编辑。
3. On the menu bar, click Customize > Toolbars > Production Feature Builder.
4. Click the Feature Builder button on the Production Feature Builder toolbar.

   The Feature Builder window appears.

   提示:

   The Feature Builder window can be placed anywhere in ArcMap, or in the Table Of Contents window, with the aid of the arrows showing the possible placement positions.

5. Verify that the feature builder scratch dataset is loaded in your map.
6. 单击生产编辑工具条上的启动生产编辑按钮 。

   注:

   使用启动生产编辑工具开始编辑会话时，系统将自动显示管理要素和创建属性、更新属性或元数据属性窗口。

   提示:

   如果开始编辑会话时未显示创建属性、更新属性或元数据属性窗口，请单击管理要素窗口上的显示/隐藏属性按钮 。

7. Choose the feature builder scratch database as your editing workspace.
8. Select two point geometries.
9. Click the Create Segment button on the Production Feature Builder toolbar.

A segment appears between the two points.
