Delete Grids And Graticules (Cartography)
Summary
Deletes all the features associated with one or more selected grid and graticule layers from a feature dataset.
Usage
-
You can select all the grid and graticule layers for deletion or specify only the ones you want deleted from the Grid Name list.
-
You can unselect all previously selected grid and graticule layers to prevent deletion of any grid and graticule layers or unselect only specific ones not to delete.
A grid dataset that has been renamed cannot be used as an input dataset to this tool because the suffix of the grid feature classes will no longer match the name of the grid.
Syntax
| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_grid_dataset |
The feature dataset location where the grid and graticule layers that can be deleted are stored. | Feature Dataset |
grid_name [grid_name,...] |
Lists the grid and graticule layers in the feature dataset that can be deleted. | String |
