buffer lines and points at same time

Question

Does anyone know if there is a way to say use "Select By Attributes" on both a point and line feature with the same attribute, then buffer that selection with a graphic buffer?

I am basically trying to select some points and lines together and create a bounding box around them. Then I need to retrieve the bounding box coordinates.

Thanks for any help or advice

Thanks Dan I will give it a shot!

Use Envelope in

Minimum Bounding Geometry—Data Management toolbox | Documentation

on both the points and poly* features to get both their extents,

then use

Append—Data Management toolbox | Documentation

on both the Envelop files and finally

do a Minimum bounding Geometry Envelope on the resultant.

Add Geometry Attributes—Data Management toolbox | Documentation

to that file to get the extent coordinates
