It would be helpful if ArcGIS Pro included a single geoprocessing tool that creates line features directly between matching polygons from two polygon feature layers.
The tool could accept the following parameters:
- Input Polygon Layer 1
- Input Polygon Layer 2
- Match Field (Layer 1)
- Match Field (Layer 2)
- Output Line Feature Class
Currently, this workflow requires multiple geoprocessing tools, such as Feature To Point, joins, and XY To Line, or a custom Python script. A dedicated tool would eliminate these intermediate steps and temporary datasets, making the workflow simpler, more efficient, and easier to automate in ModelBuilder and geoprocessing workflows.
