Create a single line from a point using the attributes of that point

[LarisaJohnstone]

Hello,

Does anyone know if it is possible to create a line feature from a point using an angle and distance field defined in that point attribute data?

Basically I want a line to be drawn from the point at a specified distance and angle. The end resultant line can have the point as a centre point starting point or end point, it does not matter. Also, I have thousands of points to do this too...they all have the same length, but various angles.

Thanks

Actually pretty simple.  Use SOH CAH TOA  to determine the O and A and add them to the original X,Y

The generate your lines from the table

You can use Bearing Distance To Line tool:
