 Converting a Point-ID defined linestring to a coordinate-defined linestring?

I frequently have large numbers of lines defined by point-IDs (from feature processing) that I need to "disconnect" from the original points. So far, I've ot found a way to do this directly other thn going through every point in every line manually, or exporting and reimporting. Am i missing a feature/solution?

Same pain here. Backup the work order so you have record of the points, then offset the linestring to the same layer with 0 offset, then delete the original points on the rover tablet to avoid duplicate lines. We've submitted ideas to the Siteworks team to help eliminate some of the problems caused by their current solution for shooting in a line, but I haven't seen anything improve enough to eliminate this multi-step extra workflow for removing point association from the original line.

You can do this via the ANZ tool called "Unlink." See here for more: Unlink Linestrings – TBCANZ. Keep in mind that ALL ANZ tools were given to all subscription TBC licensing as of this latest release yesterday (TBC 2026.10).
