Point at beginning of line

The Point at beginning of line builder generates a point feature at a specified offset at the first vertex of a line feature you create in a map.

This builder is available to feature templates that create point features when a group template is configured with the following settings:

  • The primary template creates point or line features.

  • The group template toolset on the Tools side tab is set to Line tools or Radial tools.

Note:

This builder is also available to primary templates that create point features when the toolset is set to Radial tools.
