Hosted feature layer collected in Survey 123.


I have a row for each rectangle in a standalone table.

It would be great if we could have a geoprocessing tool that easily takes coordinates in fields and creates rectangle polygons in a feature class.

A related use case that has cardinal directions stored in fields of a given row:

You can collect all of your coordinates in only two columns (fields) X and Y, plus the field with the AssetID that defines what polygon each row of coordinates are for. Then you can build the polygons from these points (the sequence of Points to Line and then Feature to Polygon tools) grouping by AssetID field.

 

Instead of the sequence of ArcGIS Pro Points to Line and then Feature to Polygon tools, you may use XTools Pro Polygons from Points tool that allows you to make the polygon directly from input points.
