The create points to path, where the points will have a unique ID denoting that n number of points belong to the same path, is oft discussed yet never clearly answered, with the defunct and not-allowed-to-install Hawthes tools often cited as a solution. Has anyone figured out how to do this in Pro? What I have is several hundred thousand pings from several thousand aircraft transponders, need to convert those points to paths showing direction of travel.

Mapping points and connecting them with a line - mapping westward migration. 

joining  points to make a line 

The goal is to join point data to lines.  

How To: Create connection lines between two points 

Is Points To Line the solution here?

How is the data structured and what are you looking for, specifically, in the results?  Obviously a path, but what kind of attribution on the paths.
