Suppose a straight line with a certain rotation angle 'alpha', intersec with a poligon, how to measure the segment within this poligon? My plan is to use this routine to find the maximum 'width' of the polygon for a certain angle. Thanks, shane
try the Euclidean Direction distance tool or the Near tool.
However I think most of your built in options may require the Spatial Analysis extension.

I'm assuming you have a feature class of the lines already constructed. If so, you could use the Intersect tool. Intersect the polygons and the lines. The result is a line feature class with the feature ID of the polygon that it intersects. The result is simply the length of the line (shape_length if you're writing the output to a file geodatabase).
