Use a geoprocessing tool to add representation control points at sharp curves in lines

Representations

Segment 19 of 24

Top  Previous  Next

In this example you will see how to add control points to the roads and rivers. Control points are designed to enhance the symbology of your features when a linear feature makes a sharp turn. This functionality is useful when it is important to have a continuous pattern of solid dashes at corners.

The Set Representation Control Point By Angle tool is located in the Symbolization Refinement toolset.

To do so, open the Set Representation Control Point By Angle tool. Choose RoadL layer.lyr for the Input Features With Representations parameter. Type “135” for the Maximum Angle parameter. Click OK to run the tool. You can also run the tool again on HydroL using the same Maximum Angle parameter value of 135.
