I am wondering if there is a method (python script) to list the feature classes within the database that intersect/are within a defined geographic boundary (specific municipality boundaries)? Which I would then have copied to a new geodatabase.&nbsp;</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 11 Apr 2017 22:12:05 GMT ErikBrawner 2017-04-11T22:12:05Z Python: Determine feature classes within geographic boundary and copy to geodatabase https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/python-determine-feature-classes-within-geographic/m-p/255629#M19635 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I have a geodatabase with hundreds of feature classes (contours) that are broken into individual feature classes forming a grid over a county wide area.
