Function Description

Converts selected line objects to point objects and saves them in the Point Dataset or CAD Dataset.

When a line object is converted into a point object, the All Node in the line object will be directly saved as a point object, as shown in the following figure. Figure 1 shows the line object to be converted, and Figure 2 shows the point object saved in the point or CAD Dataset after conversion.

• Object Operation tab-> Object Editing group drop-down box-> Line Transition Point.

Operating instructions

1. Open the Line Dataset to the map, and select one or more line objects in the current line layer selectable state.
2. In the Gallery control of the Object Editing group on the Object Operation tab, click the Line to Point button to pop up the Line to Point dialog:
3. In the dialog box, select the Target Datasource and Dataset to save the new point object. There are two ways to save Result Data: save to the existing Dataset or create a new Point Dataset to save. The Parameter Settings in the dialog box are as follows:
   • Target Data source: Set the Datasource of the Dataset to which the Result Data will be saved.
   • Target Dataset: Select an existing point or CAD Dataset to store the newly generated point object.
   • Create Dataset: Select the Create Dataset check box to set the name of the Create Dataset and save the newly generated point object to the newly created Point Dataset.
   • Delete Source Object: If the selected line Object layer is editable, select the Delete Source Object check box to delete Select Objects from the Source Dataset.
4. Click the OK button to complete the Convert to Point operation for the line object.
