The Polygons to segments operation extracts polygon boundaries and creates a segment map out of them. By default, the operation extracts segments from all polygon boundaries of the input map. You can also specify a mask to extract segments of specific polygons. The operation might be useful when you want to edit/update boundaries of polygons.
There are two possibilities to assign names to the extracted segments:
Input map requirements:
No special input map requirements.
Domain and coordinate system of output map:
The operation creates a new domain which is stored by the output map (internal domain).
The output segment map uses the same coordinate system as the input polygon map.
Attribute table for output map:
When the Unique Names option is used, an attribute table will be automatically created for the output map. The table will obtain the same name as the output map; it will contain the names of the polygons to the right and to the left of each extracted segment and the length of each extracted segment.
