LINE2PNT

Description

LINE2PNT generates a point layer given an input line vector layer.

Parameters

Name	Type	Length	Value range
Input: Input line layer *	Vector port	1 - 1
Output: Output point layer *	Vector port	1 - 1
Conversion method	String	0 -	MIDPOINT | VERTICES | INTERVAL Default: MIDPOINT
Sampling interval	Float	0 - 1
Use current selection (Focus only)	Boolean	0 - 1	TRUE | FALSE Default: FALSE

* Required parameter

Parameter descriptions

Input: Input line layer

Specifies the input segment containing the lines for which a point segment will be constructed.

Output: Output point layer

Specifies the the output file to receive the points

Conversion method

Specifies the conversion method to be used to create points.

Sampling interval

Specifies the distance along each line to create a point. The units for the interval distance are those of the projection, often meters.

Use current selection (Focus only)

Allows you to restrict processing to only the selected shapes from the current view in CATALYST Professional Focus. The default value is FALSE so all shapes are processed.

Details

LINE2PNT is used to create a point layer from a line layer. The input segment must be a line; this includes topological arc layers. The points can be generated using different methods which controls where exactly points are created. The attributes are copied from the source line layer to the output point layer.
