How Polyline to Raster works

The following information specifies how the cells in raster datasets are assigned values under various conditions when using the Polyline to Raster tool.

There are two ways to control how the cell will be assigned a value when more than one feature falls withing a cell. The methods are identified below.

MAXIMUM_LENGTH method

MAXIMUM_COMBINED_LENGTH method

For this description, the combined feature is considered to be a single feature with the FID equal to the lowest of the combined features and the priority equal to the highest of the combined features.
