Hi all,
This is my first time posting here. I hope I am not asking a dumb question here.....
For my GIS class in school, I was asked to explore the difference between buffer tool (The one in Arctool box), buffer wizard, and the buffer in the editing tool.
So far, I have discovered that the buffer wizard will do "donuts" if you try to select the features within a multiple rings. For example, if you create multiple rings (lets say 2) with the buffer wizard tool, you can select the features that are only in the outer rings or inner rings. Whereas, you cannot do that with the buffer tool.
Now, the questions is the buffer tool in the editing session. When I try to create a buffer with the editing buffer tool, it often said "No acceptable target available. Buffer creates new polygons or polylines. Target must not participate in a network." In some case the editing buffer tool will work but I couldn't see any buffer nor any difference after I do that.
Does anyone have any ideas? Is there any difference between the editing buffer tool and the normal buffer tool?
