An overview of the Features toolset

The Features toolset contains tools to transform features from one geometry type to another and verify correctness of features.

Tool	Description
Add XY Coordinates	Adds the fields POINT_X and POINT_Y to the point input features and calculates their values. It also appends the POINT_Z and POINT_M fields if the input features are Z- and M-enabled.
Adjust 3D Z	Modifies Z-values of 3D features.
Bearing_Distance_To_Line	Creates a new feature class containing geodetic line features constructed based on the values in an x-coordinate field, y-coordinate field, bearing field, and distance field of a table.
Check Geometry	Generates a report of the geometry problems in a feature class.
Copy Features	Copies features from the input feature class or layer to a new feature class. If the input is a layer which has a selection, only the selected features will be copied. If the input is a geodatabase feature class or shapefile, all features will be copied.
Delete Features	Deletes all or the selected subset of features from the input.
Dice	Subdivides a feature into smaller features based on a specified vertex limit. This tool is intended as a way to subdivide extremely large features that cause issues with drawing, analysis, editing, and/or performance but are difficult to split up with standard editing and geoprocessing tools. This tool should not be used in any cases other than those where tools are failing to complete successfully due to the size of features.
Feature Envelope to Polygon	Creates a feature class containing polygons, each of which represents the envelope of an input feature.
Feature to Line	Creates a feature class containing lines generated by converting polygon boundaries to lines, or splitting line, polygon, or both features at their intersections.
Feature to Point	Creates a feature class containing points generated from the representative locations of input features.
Feature to Polygon	Creates a feature class containing polygons generated from areas enclosed by input line or polygon features.
Feature Vertices to Points	Creates a feature class containing points generated from specified vertices or locations of the input features.
Minimum Bounding Geometry	Creates a feature class containing polygons which represent a specified minimum bounding geometry enclosing each input feature or each group of input features.
Multipart to Singlepart	Creates a feature class containing singlepart features generated by separating multipart input features.
Points to Line	Creates line features from points.
Polygon to Line	Creates a feature class containing lines that are converted from polygon boundaries with or without considering neighboring polygons.
Repair Geometry	Inspects each feature in a feature class for geometry problems. Upon discovery of a geometry problem, a relevant fix will be applied, and a one line description will be printed identifying the feature as well as the problem encountered.
Split Line at Point	Splits line features based on intersection or proximity to point features.
Split Line at Vertices	Creates a feature class containing lines that are generated by splitting input lines or polygon boundaries at their vertices.
Table_To_Ellipse	Creates a new feature class containing geodetic ellipse features constructed based on the values in an x-coordinate field, y-coordinate field, major-axis field, minor-axis field, and azimuth field of a table.
Unsplit_Line	Merges lines that have coincident endpoints and, optionally, common attribute values.
XY_To_Line	Creates a new feature class containing geodetic line features constructed based on the values in a start x-coordinate field, start y-coordinate field, end x-coordinate field, and end y-coordinate field of a table.
