Pretty stupid...but I hate testing geoprocessing from within ArcMap because the forms are unbelievably slow, within ArcCatalogue they are fine, but try to open a model and run the same from ArcMap, then its 2min wait before it opens and takes forever to begin. But i just used copy features which i stupidly overlooked and rely on the inbuilt functionality that if there's a selection, its used for the output.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Any one knows why the forms etc. take so long to load etc. within ArcMap then that would be awesome.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 08 Feb 2012 06:45:09 GMT MattBurcham 2012-02-08T06:45:09Z Export Map Selection https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/export-map-selection/m-p/740089#M24342 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Im looking to create a model to export a selection made via the select tool from within ArcMap. The model is to be run from ArcMap so just like if you have a selection and "right click &gt; Data &gt; Export Data... Selected features only" im looking to replicate that as the initial stage of my model. My current model works great, but its based a selection from attributes or location, where functionality has been request that a selection based on a custom map selection be used. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Is there an environment setting or a variable i can create to use the selection from within ArcMap because ive tried a few things and cant seem to figure out a way to do it</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 08 Feb 2012 06:16:25 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/export-map-selection/m-p/740089#M24342 MattBurcham 2012-02-08T06:16:25Z Re: Export Map Selection https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/export-map-selection/m-p/740090#M24343 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Answered my own question!
