I have many polygon layers and one roads layer. I am trying to essentially clip the roads layer by each polygon in my polygon layers (one polygon at a time) in order to retrieve the total length of roads within each polygon in my list of polygon layers. When I use arcpy.Clip_analysis this takes a very long time. So, I have been pointed to the geometry objects on the polygon class. I typically use the code snippets in the help to aid in my code writing. However, with this example the code provided seems useless to me. Does anyone have a good example of how to use the geometry object to intersect another layer and return the length of the lines that fell inside the polygon?
