Does anyone know if there is a way to say use "Select By Attributes" on both a point and line feature with the same attribute, then buffer that selection with a graphic buffer?
I am basically trying to select some points and lines together and create a bounding box around them. Then I need to retrieve the bounding box coordinates.
Thanks for any help or advice
Use Envelope in
Minimum Bounding Geometry—Data Management toolbox | Documentation
on both the points and poly* features to get both their extents,
then use
Append—Data Management toolbox | Documentation
on both the Envelop files and finally
do a Minimum bounding Geometry Envelope on the resultant.
Add Geometry Attributes—Data Management toolbox | Documentation
to that file to get the extent coordinates
Thanks Dan I will give it a shot!
I would be remiss if I didn't provide a numpy lesson
