topic Trying to select an area on an arcmap using a python scripting tool in Python Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/trying-to-select-an-area-on-an-arcmap-using-a/m-p/723450#M56010 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hello,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>What I have a question about is in regards to creating a tool that allows a user to select a specific area of a map. But, I want this tool to allow the user click on the map and form a shape (rectangle, square, etc...) to indicate the area. Essentially, I want the user to take their mouse and create a shape to indicate a selected area. I have been having a difficult time creating a tool that allows the user to do this using python scripting. If someone can help me to complete this, I would greatly appreciate it.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 26 Jun 2014 13:55:39 GMT MarquisScott 2014-06-26T13:55:39Z Trying to select an area on an arcmap using a python scripting tool https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/trying-to-select-an-area-on-an-arcmap-using-a/m-p/723450#M56010 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hello,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>What I have a question about is in regards to creating a tool that allows a user to select a specific area of a map.
