Now, the tools return the true least-cost path between locations within the full extent of the cost surface. As a result, the resulting cost paths were limited to stay within the smaller extent. The processing extent previously defaulted to the input source, which is often smaller than the cost surface extent.Generally, the cost surface is created with great care and is intended to drive the analysis. This improves the accuracy of the output and meets the expected behavior. The processing extent and spatial reference now default to that of the input cost raster. Improved defaults are used for the Cost Allocation, Cost Back Link, Cost Connectivity, Cost Distance, Path Distance, Path Distance Allocation, and Path Distance Back Link tools.With Distance Method, you can now specify if the Euclidian calculations are to be performed in the regular planar way, or with a new geodesic method. The Euclidean Allocation, Euclidean Direction, and Euclidean Distance tools have a new optional parameter.When set to False, the statistics will be approximate for the purpose of symbolizing output raster layers, and no raster attribute table will be built. It is True by default for all Spatial Analyst tools. This Boolean environment is used to specify whether to calculate statistics and build a raster attribute table for a temporary raster created from an interactive Python session while adding it to the map. Spatial Analyst tools now have a new ArcPy environment,, that can be accessed only from the interactive Python window from the application. The new Split Line By Match tool splits input features based on matching relationships to obtain better corresponding line segmentation.Improved progress reporting for LAS Dataset Statistics.
Improved progress reporting for LAS Dataset To Raster.Also, improvements have been made to the tool to better collapse elongated road details that are adjacent to traffic circles that are not collapsed due to size or locking status. Values of 1 in the specified field prevent those features from being collapsed. The Collapse Road Detail tool includes a new option Locking field parameter.
