shrug-l: Selecting Dead Ends (Dangles) in ArcMap

[Tripp Corbin]

Joe,

The topology method is the easiest way I can think of. I would suggest
asking ESRI for a temporary license for ArcEditor so you can try out the
topologies. If this is something you plan to do on a regular basis, I
would strongly encourage you to upgrade to ArcEditor. The topology tools
will save you a lot of time that will more than pay for the upgrade if
you maintain a GIS database.

Subject: shrug-l: Selecting Dead Ends (Dangles) in ArcMap

 

Hi SHRUG-ers,

 

I am working on a project that involves selecting many line features
(from a large Streets shapefile) that are dead ends (dangels in GIS
speak).  Can anyone help me think of a way to do this for a very large
shapefile with hundreds of features that will need selecting?

 

By the way- I received a suggestion to accomplish this by creating a
topology rule in a geodatabase to allow no dangles and then running a
script to export topology errors, but ArcView does not support the
creating of topology rules.  I am running ArcView 9.3.

 

Thanks & Greetings from Virginia,

 

Joe
