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

[Jeffrey Reed]

You would also need to import it into a geodatabase........this is what I've been doing for the past 2 or 3 months is cleaning up the topology problems of our database.

  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.

  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
