I haven't quite found a solution for buffering selected line segments of a road network without extporting the selected line segments to a new file and then buffering. I want to avoid creating a bunch of new datasets for this task. Either environment will do (ArcGIS application or Python). Any suggestions?

3If you run the Buffer geoprocessing tool from ArcMap on the layer with the selection, does it give the desired results? Most geoprocessing tools operate on the selected set by default, if present.blah238– blah2382011年12月19日 21:36:50 +00:00Commented Dec 19, 2011 at 21:36

@dchaboya, on a side note, it would be great if you marked "accept" in your previously asked questions when you get an answer that works for you...RyanKDalton– RyanKDalton2011年12月19日 22:04:57 +00:00Commented Dec 19, 2011 at 22:04
