Is there a way to dissolve a polyline shapefile?

Is there a way to dissolve a polyline shapefile?

Use modules>lines>Line dissolve I have a Points shape file that overlays this polyline shapefile , i want to break the single polyline shapefile into multiple polylines based on these point locations This seems much harder, especially since your points may not be exactly on the line.

How to split a polyline feature into two polygons?

This split the lines where the fishnet crossed them per polygon. I could then dissolve the linear features based upon the fishnet polygon ID field and use a statistic type of SUM to give me the total length of the lines within each polygon. Might not be elegant but it works. Hope it helps. In ArcGIS you may use ET Geowizard\\Polyline\\Split polyline.

How to split polyline into multiple polylines in ArcGIS?

From there, simply open an edit session and delete unwanted polyline segments. There’s a tool in the Advanced/ArcEditor level of Arcgis (works on 10.1 at least) called Split Line at vertices to could help you, should you have this level of licence.

Which is the tool for splitting a line?

The Split Line At Vertices tool splits a line at its vertices so that each segment in the original line becomes a new feature. The Split Line At Point tool splits input lines at the locations of point features on the line or within a tolerance of the line.

How many polygon shapefiles can I use to compare?

It’ll output three (or less) shapefiles with new, deleted and unchanged features. It is also possible to define which fields to compare (eg. Shape and/or attribute fields of your choice).

How to merge multiple shapefiles into a single shapefile?

Question: I have multiple shapefiles of underwater forms (coral reef, outcrop, sandflat, etc) that I would like to combine into a single shapefile. This would make the data easier to manage and I would use a column in the attribute table to delineate each form, rather than have each be in a separate shapefile.

How can I make shapefiles for each county?

I want to know if there is a tool to use that can take that new shapefile I created of only the new polygons in my area of interest into an individual shapefile for each county. So say there were 25 counties that crossed my route, I’d like to have a quick way to get shapefiles individually for each 25 counties.
