On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Production Editing.Convex Hull represents the shape of the selected points, regardless of draw order and without internal holes.
The Production Points To Line Or Polygon tool uses these selected numeric values to create the polyline or polygon feature, drawing from lowest to highest.įor polygon feature layers, the Convex Hull option provides another method to define how the polygon is created. This list is populated with all the layer's numeric fields. If the selected target layer is a polygon layer, you can choose from OID, Sort Field, or Convex Hull options.Ĭhoosing the Sort Field option for either line or polygon target layers displays another list of options in the Select sort field drop-down list that changes dynamically depending on the selected feature layer.If the selected target layer is a polyline layer, you can choose from OID (Object ID) or Sort Field options.The Production Points To Line Or Polygon tool uses the numeric values of the option you select, going from lowest to highest, to create the polyline or polygon feature. The Select draw order drop-down arrow on the Production Points to Line/Polygon dialog box displays a set of options associated with numeric values. With the Production Points To Line Or Polygon tool, you can define how the polyline or polygon feature you want to create is drawn from the selected points. Ideally, the points would be loaded with associated waypoint IDs that can be used to determine to which path or area the points belong and/or define draw order. The Production Points To Line Or Polygon tool allows you to generate a linear or polygon feature from a selected set of points depending on the selected template.įor example, you can load a set of collected points from a global positioning system (GPS) unit into ArcGIS and use this tool to create polyline or polygon features from those points.
