topic Symbolized Features - Select subset and only display those? in Transportation Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/transportation-questions/symbolized-features-select-subset-and-only-display/m-p/615928#M2041 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Original User: SStrand</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have a python script which modifies a template map to display features based on selected options. Currently I have it working where it will zoom to selected features and buffer them. The problem is that I need to have only the features within the buffer showing. The features are also symbolized. I am assuming that a simple "make feature layer" addition will not work, as the symbolization will be lost. Am I wrong in assuming this or is there a route to take to keep the symbolization?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 14 Jan 2013 14:03:45 GMT Anonymous User 2013-01-14T14:03:45Z Symbolized Features - Select subset and only display those? https://community.esri.com/t5/transportation-questions/symbolized-features-select-subset-and-only-display/m-p/615928#M2041 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Original User: SStrand</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have a python script which modifies a template map to display features based on selected options.
