The Feature Class toolset contains tools that perform basic feature class management.
A feature class can be stored with other feature classes in a feature dataset in a geodatabase or as a stand-alone feature class in a geodatabase. A feature class can also be stored in a shapefile.
Tool | Description |
---|---|
Creates a geodatabase annotation feature class or appends to an existing annotation feature class by combining annotation from multiple input geodatabase annotation feature classes into a single feature class with annotation classes. | |
Creates an empty feature class in a geodatabase or a shapefile in a folder. | |
Creates an empty feature class in an enterprise geodatabase. The feature class is not registered with the geodatabase. | |
Analyzes the coordinate locations of feature vertices among features in one or more feature classes. Those that fall within a specified distance of one another are assumed to represent the same location and are assigned a common coordinate value (in other words, they are colocated). The tool also adds vertices where feature vertices are within the x,y tolerance of an edge and where line segments intersect. | |
Recalculates the xy, z, and m extent properties of a feature class based on the features in the feature class. | |
Defines the behavior of a split operation on a feature class. |
