I could use ESRI fish net and ET Geowizards, but I don't want to be counting out how many points are in each polygon and then resampling and clipping until I find 30. Is there another way around this?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I am running ArcMap 10.2 on an ArcView licence (so any suggestions of Parcel Editor won't work either).</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Has anyone tried Geospatial Modelling Environment?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks!</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 23 Sep 2013 06:20:15 GMT XingLee 2013-09-23T06:20:15Z Regular sample points in an irregular polygon https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/regular-sample-points-in-an-irregular-polygon/m-p/684669#M22715 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have a few (very) irregular polygons that I need to place 30 samples within, but I want the samples to be regularly spaced (i.e. on a grid).
