User:Rcorrigan/AHGW Pro:Reverse Section Line Orientation

Reverse Section Line Orientation dialog

The Reverse Section Line Orientation tool is accessed by double-clicking on " Reverse Section Line Orientation" under the " XS2D Editor" toolset under the " Subsurface Analyst" toolset under the " ArcHydroGroundwater.pyt" toolbox. This tool reverses the parameterization of the curve ('from' point becomes 'to' point, first segment becomes last segment, etc).

This is useful for 'flipping' section lines that will be used to create cross sections. Cross sections typically start a X = 0 at the beginning of the section line, and are drawn to the right with increasing distance along the section line. If the 'from' point is on the opposite end of the section line that the user intended, this tool can be used to reverse the orientation of the line so that the 'from' point is where the user intended for the beginning of the line to be. While this tool was intended for use with section line, it can be used on any polyline feature class.

ArcGIS Notes – In older versions of ArcGIS, this tool is accessed through the "Arc Hydro Groundwater Tools" toolbox. The tool appears as a dialog, not a pane.

The icons vary between ArcGIS and ArcGIS Pro.

The names of the fields in this tool might be different in ArcGIS. They should still be recognizable.

The following fields are available. Required fields are marked with a icon. In ArcGIS, they are marked with a icon. Fields marked with a icon may not be supported or the table may not exist.

• Input Section Line Layer or Feature Class – Click the button to bring up the Input Section Line Layer or Feature Class dialog in order to specify the layer or feature class containing the section line(s) to flip. The tool works on a selected set of section line features. If no features are selected the tool will run on all section line features.
• HydroID of Section Line to Flip – Optional. Enter the HydroID of a single section line that is to be flipped. Alternatively, you can select the desired line(s) to flip in ArcMap with the Select Features tool.
