Polylines, polygons, points, etc. You need to decide how you will want to use the imported data.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have written a script that walks a folder of cad drawings and imports the polylines, points and polygons.&nbsp; Then does a spatial or field common field join on the point and polygon feature classes to build another polygon feature class containing all the information.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Does this sound like what you want to do?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 16 Feb 2011 16:28:03 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/need-to-make-a-tool-in-arcgis/m-p/243821#M18942 Anonymous User 2011-02-16T16:28:03Z
