All Implemented Interfaces:

GPTool

public class CopyFeatures
extends AbstractGPTool

Copies features from the input The Copy Features tool is contained in the Data Management Tools tool box.

Software restrictions: none

Usage tips:

• The Input Features (geometry and attributes) will be copied to the output feature class.
• This tool can be used for data conversion as it can read many feature formats (any you can add to map) and write these out to shapefile or geodatabase (File, Personal or SDE).
• If the output feature class already exists, it will be overwritten. To control the overwrite behavior in an application see the Tools/Options/Geoprocessing options, in a script see the OverwriteOutput property on the geoprocessor object. To add or append the features to an existing feature class (without overwritting it) use the Append tool instead.
• Learn more about spatial reference and geoprocessing;
• The following environment settings affect this tool: Coordinate system; Extent; XY Tolerance; Z Tolerance; M Tolerance; XY Resolution; Z Resolution; M Resolution; Output XY domain; Output Z domain; Output M domain; Output has M values; Output has Z values; Default Z value; Configuration keyword; Output Spatial Grid;

Constructor Detail

CopyFeatures

public CopyFeatures()

Creates the Copy Features tool with defaults.

Initializes the array of tool parameters with the default values specified when the tool was created.

CopyFeatures

public CopyFeatures(Object inFeatures,
                    Object outFeatureClass)

Creates the Copy Features tool with the required parameters.

Initializes the array of tool parameters with the values as specified for the required parameters and with the default values for the other parameters.

Parameters:

inFeatures - Feature Layer | Raster Catalog Layer, the features to be copied.

outFeatureClass - Feature Class, the feature class which will be created and to which the features will be copied. If the output feature class already exists and the overwrite option is set to true, the output will be deleted first. If the output feature class already exists and the overwrite option is set to false, the operation will fail.

Method Detail

getInFeatures

public Object getInFeatures()

Returns the Input Features parameter of this tool . This parameter is Feature Layer | Raster Catalog Layer, the features to be copied. This is a required parameter.

Returns:

the Input Features

setInFeatures

public void setInFeatures(Object inFeatures)

Sets the Input Features parameter of this tool . This parameter is Feature Layer | Raster Catalog Layer, the features to be copied. This is a required parameter.

Parameters:

inFeatures - Feature Layer | Raster Catalog Layer, the features to be copied.

getOutFeatureClass

public Object getOutFeatureClass()

Returns the Output Feature Class parameter of this tool . This parameter is Feature Class, the feature class which will be created and to which the features will be copied. If the output feature class already exists and the overwrite option is set to true, the output will be deleted first. If the output feature class already exists and the overwrite option is set to false, the operation will fail. This is a required parameter.

Returns:

the Output Feature Class

setOutFeatureClass

public void setOutFeatureClass(Object outFeatureClass)

Sets the Output Feature Class parameter of this tool . This parameter is Feature Class, the feature class which will be created and to which the features will be copied. If the output feature class already exists and the overwrite option is set to true, the output will be deleted first. If the output feature class already exists and the overwrite option is set to false, the operation will fail. This is a required parameter.

Parameters:

outFeatureClass - Feature Class, the feature class which will be created and to which the features will be copied. If the output feature class already exists and the overwrite option is set to true, the output will be deleted first. If the output feature class already exists and the overwrite option is set to false, the operation will fail.

getConfigKeyword

public String getConfigKeyword()

Returns the Configuration Keyword parameter of this tool . This parameter is String, environment setting. This is an optional parameter.

Returns:

the Configuration Keyword

setConfigKeyword

public void setConfigKeyword(String configKeyword)

Sets the Configuration Keyword parameter of this tool . This parameter is String, environment setting. This is an optional parameter.

Parameters:

configKeyword - String, environment setting.

getSpatialGrid1
