How to use Align Features Tool in Arc Toolbox ArcMap ArcGIS??

Align Features Tool
Align Features

Path to access the tool

:

Align Features Tool, Conflation Toolset, Editing Tools Toolbox

 

Align Features

Identifies inconsistent portions of the input features against target features within a search distance and aligns them with the target features.

1. Input Features

Input line or polygon features to be adjusted.

2. Target Features

Input lines or polygons as target features.

3. Search Distance

The distance used to search for match candidates. A distance must be specified and it must be greater than zero. You can choose a preferred unit; the default is the feature unit.

4. Match Fields (optional)

Fields from input and target features. If specified, each pair of fields are checked for match candidates to help determine the right match.

Calculate Transformation Errors

Calculates residue errors and root mean square error (RMSE) based on the coordinates of the input links between known control points to be used for spatial data transformation.

1.    Input Link Features

Input link features that link known control points for spatial transformation.

2.    Output Link Table

The output table containing input links feature IDs and their residual errors. The residual errors for input links are written to the specified output table that contains the following fields:

Orig_FID: The input link feature ID

  1. X_Source: The x coordinate of the source or from end location of the link
  2. Y_Source: The y coordinate of the source or from end location of the link
  3. X_Destination: The x coordinate of the destination or to end location of the link
  4. Y_Destination: The y coordinate of the destination or to end location of the link
  5. Residual_Error: The residual error of the transformed location

3.    Method (optional)

Transformation method to use to convert input feature coordinates.

  1. AFFINE—Affine transformation requires a minimum of three transformation links. This is the default.
  2. PROJECTIVE—Projective transformation requires a minimum of four transformation links.
  3. SIMILARITY—Similarity transformation requires a minimum of two transformation links.

Edgematch Features

Modifies input line features by spatially adjusting their shapes, guided by the specified edgematch links, so they become connected with the lines in the adjacent dataset.

1.    Input Features

Input line features to be adjusted.

2.    Input Link Features

Input line features representing edgematch links.

3.    Method (optional)

Edgematch method to be used to adjust either input features only or both input features and adjacent features to new connecting locations.

  1. MOVE_ENDPOINT—Moves the endpoint of a line to the new connecting location. This is the default.
  2. ADD_SEGMENT—Adds a straight segment at the end of a line so it ends at the new connecting location.
  3. ADJUST_VERTICES—Adjusts the endpoint of a line to the new connecting location. The remaining vertices are also adjusted so its positional changes are gradually reduced toward the opposite end of the line.

4.    Adjacent Features (optional)

Line features that are adjacent to input features. If specified, both the input and adjacent features are adjusted to meet at new connecting locations, either the midpoints of the edgematch links or locations nearest to the midpoints of the links on the border features (if specified).

5.    Border Features (optional)

Line or polygon features representing borders between the input and adjacent features. When you specify border features, both input and adjacent features are adjusted to meet at new connecting locations nearest to the midpoints of the links on the border features.

Generate Edgematch Links

Generate Edgematch Links Tool, Conflation Toolset, Editing Tools Toolbox

 

Generate Edgematch Links

Finds matching but disconnected line features along the edges of the source data's area and its adjacent data's area, and generates edgematch links from the source lines to the matched adjacent lines.

1.    Source Features

Line features as edgematching source features. All edgematch links start at source features.

2.    Adjacent Features

Line features adjacent to source features. All edgematch links end at matched adjacent features.

3.    Output Feature Class

Output feature class containing lines representing edgematch links.

4.    Search Distance

The distance used to search for match candidates. A distance must be specified and it must be greater than zero. You can choose a preferred unit; the default is the feature unit.

5.    Match Fields (optional)

Fields from source and target features, where target fields are from the adjacent features. If specified, each pair of fields are checked for match candidates to help determine the right match.

Generate Rubbersheet Links

Finds where the source line features spatially match the target line features and generates lines representing links from source locations to corresponding target locations for rubbersheeting.

1.    Source Features

Line features as source features for generating rubbersheet links. All links start at source features.

2.    Target Features

Line features as target features for generating rubbersheet links. All links end at matched target features.

3.    Output Feature Class

Output feature class containing lines representing regular rubbersheet links.

4.    Search Distance

The distance used to search for match candidates. A distance must be specified and it must be greater than zero. You can choose a preferred unit; the default is the feature unit.

5.    Match Fields (optional)

Lists of fields from source and target features. If specified, each pair of fields are checked for match candidates to help determine the right match.

6.    Output Match Table (optional)

The output table containing complete feature matching information.
