Python Script to select features by location and export to individual feature class

KevinCressy — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 14:28:05 GMT

I have a polygon file GDB feature class and a polyline feature class.

I would like to select the line features that intersect with each of my polygon features and then export these features to a new polyline feature class with a unique name taken from the attributes of the polygon features.

What I am really trying to do is create tiles of my polyline feature class.

I am sure this can be easily done in Python however I am struggling to work this out.

Does anyone know of an existing script that can do this?

Any help would be appreciated.

regards,

Kevin

Sorry, just wanted to bump this post because I am attempting nearly the exact same thing. Not sure how to handle this in Python.

Have you made any progress on this Kevin? I've looked at looping gp.searchcursor with gp.selectbylocation/attribute, however it seems that a 3rd party library is needed for this task. I'm pretty sure that Select By Location isn't quite appropriate

This is pretty much the same question as asked in this thread, with some good answers by "Snoop".
