Hello,
I have a large data layer, let's call it patch A. It is very large in size. I also have 100+ smaller patch data layers, which just for this example I am going to call layers 1-100. These layers are both polygons and lines. I am trying to calculate the area overlap between patch A and the smaller 1-100 layers.
Ultimately, I am trying to spit out a table that includes this information:
Patch A and Layer 1 overlap: 200 acres
Patch A and Layer 2 overlap: .2 acres
Patch A and Layer 3 overlap: 12 acres
Etc...(I made up those numbers).
Because there is so much data I think I have to run this in python or R. I have experience with R, but not together with ArcGIS Pro. I think I can figure it out, though. Is there a function I can use to run through and calculate this for all of these data?
Also, some of the smaller patch layers have different spatial references. Is there a quick way to reconfigure the spatial reference for all 1-100 data layers at once so they all use the same reference (e.g. WSG84)?
Many thanks in advance.
