Creating two intersecting circles (Production Mapping)

The Circle Circle Intersection function creates two overlapping circles. The circles are created based on two individual coordinates and radii that are defined.

Steps:

1. Start ArcMap.
2. On the menu bar, click Customize > Toolbars > Production Feature Builder.
3. Click the Feature Builder button on the Production Feature Builder toolbar.

   The Feature Builder window appears.

   Tip:

   The Feature Builder window can be placed anywhere in ArcMap, or in the Table Of Contents window, with the aid of the arrows showing the possible placement positions.

4. If the scratch dataset has not been added to the table of contents, click the Add Scratch Data Layers button at the top of the Feature Builder window.

   The dataset is added to the map using the current spatial reference.

5. Choose Circle Circle Intersection in the list on the Functions tab.

6. Define a coordinate for the start point of the polyline by doing one of the following:
   • Click the Pinprick tool on the Production Feature Builder toolbar and click on the map
   • Type the coordinates in the cells on the Input tab in the Coordinates area.
   Tip:

   To view the input coordinates on the map, double-click the row headers for each coordinate.

7. Repeat step 6 to define a coordinate for the centerpoint of the second circle.
8. Click the cell next to Radius 1 and type a value for the radius of the first circle.

   This is the radius of the first circle. The default unit is Nautical Miles.

   Tip:

   Right-click the parameter name and change the unit of measurement. If you change the unit of measurement after defining a value, the value is converted to the new unit of measurement, and you may need to redefine the value.

9. Click the cell next to Radius 2 and type a value for the radius of the second circle.

   This is the radius of the second circle. The default unit is Nautical Miles.

   Tip:

   Right-click the parameter name and change the unit of measurement. If you change the unit of measurement after defining a value, the value is converted to the new unit of measurement, and you may need to redefine the value.

10. Click the Execute button .

Two overlapping circles are created.
