Add XY Coordinates

Adds the fields POINT_X and POINT_Y to the point input features and calculates their values. It also appends the POINT_Z and POINT_M fields if the input features are Z- and M-enabled.

1. Input Features

The point features whose x,y coordinates will be appended as POINT_X and POINT_Y fields.

Adjust 3D Z

Modifies Z-values of 3D features.

1. Input Features

The 3D features whose Z values will be modified.

2. Reverse Sign of Z Values (optional)

Specifies whether features will be inverted along the Z-axis.

2. NO_REVERSE—Maintains the sign of Z-values. This is the default.

3. Adjust Z Value (optional)

A numeric value or field from the input features that will be used to adjust the Z of each vertex in the input features. A positive value will shift the feature higher, while a negative number will shift it lower along the Z-axis.

4. Convert from Units (optional)

The existing units of the Z-values. This parameter is used in conjunction with the Convert To Units parameter.

1. MILLIMETERS—Millimeters
2. CENTIMETERS—Centimeters

Bearing Distance to Line

Creates a new feature class containing geodetic line features constructed based on the values in an x-coordinate field, y-coordinate field, bearing field, and distance field of a table.

1. Input Table

2. Output Feature Class

The output feature class containing densified geodetic lines.

3. X Field

A numerical field in the input table containing the x coordinates (or longitudes)

4. Y Field

A numerical field in the input table containing the y coordinates (or latitudes) of the starting points of lines to be positioned in the output coordinate system specified by the Spatial Reference parameter.

5. Distance Field

A numerical field in the input table containing the distances from the starting points for creating the output lines.

6. Distance Units

The units for the values in the Distance Field.

7. Bearing Field

A numerical field in the input table containing bearing angle values for the output line rotation. The angles are measured clockwise from North.

9. Line Type (optional)

2. GREAT_CIRCLE—A type of geodetic line which represents the path between any two points along the intersection of the surface of the earth and a plane that passes through the center of the earth. Depending on the output coordinate system specified by the Spatial Reference parameter, in a spheroid-based coordinate system, the line is a great elliptic; in a sphere-based coordinate system,
3. RHUMB_LINE—A type of geodetic line, also known as a loxodrome line, which represents a path between any two points on the surface of a spheroid defined by a constant azimuth from a pole. A rhumb line is shown as a straight line in the Mercator projection.
4. NORMAL_SECTION—A type of geodetic line which represents a path between any two points on the surface of a spheroid defined by the intersection of the spheroid surface and a plane that passes through the two points and is normal (perpendicular) to the spheroid surface at the starting point of the two points. Therefore, the normal section line from point A to point B is different from the one from point B to point A.

Check Geometry

Generates a report of the geometry problems in a feature class.

Valid input formats are shapefile and feature classes stored in a personal geodatabase or file geodatabase. Enterprise geodatabases automatically check the validity of each geometry when they are uploaded; therefore, the Check Geometry and Repair Geometry tools are not for use with Enterprise geodatabases.

For additional information on geometry problems, its impact on the software, and potential sources, see Checking and repairing geometries.

1. Input Features

One or more feature classes or feature layers to check for geometry problems. Valid inputs are shapefile and feature classes stored in a personal geodatabase or file geodatabase.

2. Output Table

The output table containing geometry problems discovered in the input features.
