Calculate length of polygon

[DaniellePapineau]

Hi,

I need to be able to calculate the length of multiple polygons that intersect another polygon.  Basically I have a buffer (around a line) with multiple polygons (representing wetlands) that intersect it.  I need to be able to calculate the longest length of each intersecting wetland within the buffer.  To further complicate this, the length needs to run parallel to the buffer (or line it was created around).

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Danielle

I think what you want to do is to convert your wetland polygons to polylines, and then perform an intersect between the buffer and the polylines. This should result in polylines that you can calculate the length of. Put them in a geodatabase and their lengths are automatically calculated.
