Hey, Dan thanks for your input. Indeed it ist kind of difficult. The ideal output would contain multiple rows and columns. I did not now that the parcel editor would create polygons starting from one direction only. But still it would work for us: We could first divide the are from East to West and then further from North to South. So we would create subareas as long as we would receive our desired output area. To be honest, at the moment I don't have any solution how to treat the area around the fishnet containing only subsets of squares. One would be to calculate their area and manually merge those ones who make up approximately the same area as one fishnet Square. regards ... View more

Hi Konrad,   What version of ArcMap are you using. Based on other forum posts you have made, I am assuming you are using ArcMap 10.0 with an ArcView license. You did, however, say that you were looking for scripts for ArcView 3.0.  If you could confirm your version, this would help me in assisting you. Regards, Juliana W. ESRI Desktop Support Juliana, sorry for the confusion and thanks for your help. We have indeed an ArcMap 10.0 with an ArcView license only. I found some scripts from Bill Huber (who seems to be the only guy in the whole world wide web who has a real clue about the issue 😄 ) which only work in ArView 3.3 thats why I did some research there as well. But since ArcMap cannot import scripts, its useless. So I am here, right at the beginning of the story again. Not knowing what to do. I found a PostGIS script which can divide a Polygon in two exact half pieces, but for me thats not enough. It would be so great if Esri would sell single Toolboxes. We are only interested in this little function, or lets say the parcel Manager. Not the whole Editor or even Info License .... 😞 ... View more

sounds weard, but there seems to be absolutely NO solution for this basic problem (apart from the Parcels Editor). I found a commercial extension being able to split a Polygon ONCE. Not feasible though to divide a whole area. http://www.ian-ko.com/ET_GeoTools/UserGuide/ETSplitPolygonByArea.htm Any further input will be highly aprreciated guys. Thanks in advance ! ... View more

Wow! Thanks a lot, thats 100% what we need. Unfortunately, we only have an ArcView License and to upgrade for the Parcels Editor only seems not feasible. I will investigate in all OpenSource solutions and also the free Script which exists for ArcView 3.0 on the ESRI sites. http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=3&f=38&t=208496 Thanks again for your helping me with this ... ...

Dear Alexey, thanks for your answer. The fishnet solution is exactly how we are working at the moment. But since the result is a bunch of SQUARES, it usually doesn't fit our IRREGULAR forest polygon 100%. As we are talking of hundreds of parcels we have to work with automatic processes. So I populate a fishnet with the desired area (or smaller and merge them afterwards). Then I clip the fishnet polygons with the forest polygon and delete all parcels which are smaller then the given fishnet area (since they have been clipped). Therefore unfortunately, after cutting all squares which are not exactly 0,25 ha (for example) I have a lot of area which is then classified as not used (see attachment). Thats why I was asking for a solution which would divide THE WHOLE area in subpolygons, even if they are irregular in their shape. Meaning I would tell Arcgis to divide my forestpolygon of 31,7h ha in 31 parcels (meaning each of them a bit bigger then 1 ha). That would be exactly what we are looking for to avoid gaps at the edges (which can easy add up to some hectares in our case). I hope I could explain it somehow clear, sorry for my bad written english ... ... View more
