Select the tools to create or convert entities as mentioned in the following paragraphs.
Feature To Line, allows the following operations:
- Convert a polygon to polylines.
- Create a polyline from points.
Feature To Point, allows the following operations:
- Convert from polygon to points.
- Convert a polyline to points.
Feature To Polygon, you can perform the following operations:
- Create a polygon from points.
- Convert a polyline to polygon.
Feature Vertices To Points, allows you to create points for the vertices of the entity.
Split Line At Vertices, can divide a polyline vertices.
