idea Tools should not always proceed on whole layer if selection returned no features in ArcGIS Pro Ideas https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/tools-should-not-always-proceed-on-whole-layer-if/idi-p/969793 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>Currently, if you want to run a tool in a model for a small subset of features you have to make a selection in a layer. If this selecting returns any features, that's great - a tool would proceed only on this subset. Otherwise, if there are no features selected a tool will run on all the features in the layer. The processing can take ages if there are a lot of features. Now some additional custom python scripting is needed to check if the selection is empty and stop the processing.<BR /><BR />It would be very convenient to have some kind of an environment setting on a tool to choose either you want to run &nbsp;on the layer if it has no selected features or not. <!-- content transformation source ID: 087E00000004eKP --> </BODY></HTML> Wed, 15 May 2013 12:28:14 GMT DonatasBruzas 2013-05-15T12:28:14Z Tools should not always proceed on whole layer if selection returned no features https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/tools-should-not-always-proceed-on-whole-layer-if/idi-p/969793 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>Currently, if you want to run a tool in a model for a small subset of features you have to make a selection in a layer.
