This is hopefully an easy one for someone but my searches have given up nothing on the subject.
Is there a way to get the maximum extent of a polygon shapefile without looping through each of the features in the featureclass?
I have a polygon with 100,000+ features in it. I want to have the maximum extent of the polygon for another operation I am doing. It seems silly and time consuming that I would have to loop through every single feature to get the maximum extent.
Please help.
Thanks!
