Hello

I need to create a polyline dataset based on a point dataset which contains a text string. The text attributes also contain the orientation.

 

As I have 1 point for each text feature how can I either :-

 

add another point at the end of the text string and then join the points together to create a polyline, or

 

can I just create a polyline directly from the text string for the correct length and orientation.

 

Any suggestions on how to achieve this would be welcome.

 

Thanks

    I'm not quite sure I understand the details of your question, but if you use a VertexCreator to add a vertex to an existing point geometry, it will automatically be converted to a line.
