Split line segments at midpoint

Summary

The instructions provided describe how to split line segments at midpoint. In this example, the workflow describes how to generate midpoints for a line feature dataset and split the lines at midpoints while retaining the attributes.

Procedure

1. In ArcMap, right-click the line feature layer, and select Open Attribute Table.
2. In the attribute table, ensure that each segment is a single line feature. Proceed to Step 3 if the line dataset is a singlepart feature. Otherwise, run the Multipart To Singlepart tool to create a new line dataset that has each line segment as a single feature, as shown in the example below.

3. Run the Generate Points Along Lines tool with the parameters specified as below:
   1. For Input Features select the line feature dataset.
   2. Select PERCENTAGE for Point Placement.
   3. Specify 50 for Percentage.

4. Run the Split Line at Point tool.

Note:
This tool requires an ArcGIS Desktop Advanced license.

1. For Input Features, select the line feature dataset from the drop-down list.
2. Select the midpoint dataset generated in Step 3 for Point Features.
3. Set the output name and click OK.
