HOW TO
The instructions provided describe how to create connection lines between two points in ArcMap. For example, seismic lines data spreadsheet usually consists of start and end point locations, representing the seismic lines to be shot in a survey. In ArcMap, it is possible to generate a set of lines from these points using the XY To Line tool.
To ensure the lines that generated in ArcMap are accurately located, the attribute table must contain the latitude and longitude of the start and end point features, as illustrated in the example below.
Note: Refer to How To: Calculate latitude and longitude for point features for instructions to extract the latitute and longitude values of point layers before using the XY To Line tool.
Follow the steps below to create connection lines between two points on a map.
