Points to Polyline

Transforms individual points into continuous polylines by connecting them in the order they appear or based on a selected attribute. This feature is ideal for generating linear features such as routes or boundaries from point data. Points can be grouped by a specific data field, allowing for the creation of multiple polylines from categorized point sets..

Points to Polyline Options

  • Selection: select the polylines from the previous selection, or select by layer.

    • Order mode:
      • Automatic: The polyline creation begins at the furthest point from all selected points. Each following point is selected as the nearest point from those remaining.
      • Order by field value: If the points have an associated field value, you can choose to create the polyline based on that value ascending order.
    • Group by field value: If the points have an associated field value, you can choose to create separate polylines for each unique field value.
