Vertex extraction
The Vertex Extraction tool generates individual point features from the vertices of existing geometries. This function is useful for analyzing, editing, or exporting key coordinate points that define lines, polylines, or polygons..
The SPMVERTEX command extracts vertices from polylines or polygons and creates point entities at each vertex location.
Vertex extraction options
- Source: select the entities to extract their vertices from (review selection control options).
- Options
- Layer/Table name: specify the layer where the created polygons will be placed and the table name for attached data.
- Apply random colors to new layers: if checked, the created layers will be assigned random colors.
