topic Question on cliping in Geoprocessing Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/question-on-cliping/m-p/207125#M7079 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hello,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Newbie GP question:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I'm attempting to calculate the total footage of all polyline features found within a polygon. Some of the polylines extend behind the polygons edge, I don't want to calculate any footage that goes beyond the polygon.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>1) Am I correct in saying gp.SelectByLocation wouldn't work for the above scenario? (Because there isn't a way to clip the polyine's at the polygon boundary)</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>2) IF I have to clip_analyis to get proper footage, am I going down the right path of using a scratch workspace and storing the clip as a shapefile? I don't need to persist the clip result, I just need to loop through the result and get the footages. In testing the clip is redokulously slow going this route ...</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks in advance!</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Jess</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 10 Feb 2011 18:01:15 GMT JessB 2011-02-10T18:01:15Z Question on cliping https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/question-on-cliping/m-p/207125#M7079 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hello,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Newbie GP question:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I'm attempting to calculate the total footage of all polyline features found within a polygon.
