Creating a simple point

In cases where you only want to create a single point with the Feature Builder, you can use the Point (Simple) function. This creates a single point at the location you specify using either the Pinprick tool or coordinates you have typed on the Input tab in the Feature Builder window.

Pasos:
  1. Start ArcMap.
