Hmm, the tool worked for me...
Try constructing the lines yourself: edit the input and output parameters of this script and run it in the python window.
import logging
# define input data
in_table = "H:/testCruise_data_DDS.csv"
field_x = "Long"
field_y = "Lat"
field_distance = "distance"
field_bearing = "bearing"
wkid = 4326 # wkid of your data's coordinate system
# define output data
out_path = "memory"
out_name = "test"
out_fields = [ # list of [field_name, field_type]
["PLOT_ID", "LONG"],
["TYPE", "TEXT"],
["slope", "FLOAT"],
["bearing", "FLOAT"],
["Long", "FLOAT"],
["Lat", "FLOAT"],
]
# read data
fields = [f.name for f in arcpy.ListFields(in_table)]
data = [dict(zip(fields, row)) for row in arcpy.da.SearchCursor(in_table, fields)]
# construct lines
spatial_reference = arcpy.SpatialReference(wkid)
for d in data:
try:
point = arcpy.Point(d[field_x], d[field_y])
point_geometry = arcpy.PointGeometry(point, spatial_reference)
target_geometry = point_geometry.pointFromAngleAndDistance(d[field_bearing], d[field_distance])
point_array = arcpy.Array([point_geometry.firstPoint, target_geometry.firstPoint])
line_geometry = arcpy.Polyline(point_array, spatial_reference)
d["SHAPE@"] = line_geometry
except: # e.g. bearing or distance are empty
logging.exception("Could not create line for this row: {}".format(d))
d["SHAPE@"] = None
# create output fc
# skip this if you already have a line fc that you want to append to
out_fc = arcpy.management.CreateFeatureclass(out_path, out_name, "POLYLINE", spatial_reference=spatial_reference)
for f in out_fields:
arcpy.management.AddField(out_fc, f[0], f[1])
# write the lines into out_fc
fields = ["SHAPE@"] + [f[0] for f in out_fields]
with arcpy.da.InsertCursor(out_fc, fields) as cursor:
for d in data:
values = [d[f] for f in fields]
cursor.insertRow(values)
Have a great day!
