Performs an overlay of points on lines. Each input line is split at its closest place to any point within the specified point tolerance.
The Group By parameter allows you to choose a series of attributes that must match on the features before the attributes will be merged. This can be used to ensure that the overlay occurs only on certain groups of features.
The Overlap Count Attribute added to output linear features holds the number of point features that were near to it. The Overlap Count Attribute added to output point features holds the number of linear features that the point was near to
The Point Tolerance value is compared to the distance from the lines to the points, and the lines will be segmented if the distance is less than or equal to the Point Tolerance value. When such a match occurs, the attributes of the segmented lines are merged with the points and the attributes of the points are merged with the lines.
If the optional List Name is supplied, the attributes of each point used to segment an output line are added to that line's list, and the attributes of each line that a point segmented are added to that point's list.
If the Advanced setting Geometry Handling is set to Enhanced in the workspace, arcs are accepted only as lines, and not as points, and ellipses are accepted as neither points nor lines; otherwise, arcs and ellipses will only be accepted as points (located at their center points).
