Try this for all the other tools you want to work with as well because it really simplifies the work flow! <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> Wed, 05 Nov 2025 09:48:51 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/enable-buffer-distance-in-buffer-tool-to-be-a/m-p/1663491#M27652 JonasBjärnmark 2025-11-05T09:48:51Z
