Line Planning: Overview

This is a tool set for use in ArcMap. Lines can be created evenly spaced lines within a polygon. 100% and 200% can be created if desired and output to the Hypack LNW file format. If a layer of lines already exists it can be (re)numbered with some extra options. An existing layer of lines can also be exported to Hypack LNW, rather than using the fill polygon tool.

NOTE: When selecting a layer in an ArcMap tool it operates on the SELECTION - so you can intentionally OR ACCIDENTALLY choose a subset of lines/polygons to work with.

To install/connect within ArcMap, see the following instructions: Line Planning: Overview

To fill/number/export lines based on a polygon see the Fill Polygon With Lines tool Line Planning: Fill Polygon

To number or re-number existing lines within a layer then see the Number Survey Lines tool Line Planning: Numbering

To export a layer of lines to LNW see the Export Lines to Hypack LNW tool Line Planning: Export LNW
