Buffer Features Map Tool

The Buffer map tool generates buffers at specified distance and rings. This addin is built as a Map Tool with a Toolbar for the Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS. The addin can be added as a Map Tool on a Map Widget. No data is required to run the tool.

Features

• Creates buffer polygons based on specified distance and ring intervals. You can create buffers around

1. Points you draw on the map (draw points on the map using draw points button)
2. Selected features on the map (you must select features on the map first)
3. Selected features that meet attribute criteria from a specified layer You must specify a layer and a field name in the map tool settings dialog box. This option lets you create buffer around features that meet your criteria from the specified layer (attribute selection from a layer).

Instructions

1. "Add features interactively" option can be used to create buffers around points you have drawn on the map.
2. "Use selected features on the map" option can be used if you want to create buffer around the selected features on the map. Features must be selected on the map for this option to work.
3. "Use Features From" option can be used to create buffer around features that meet attribute criteria. You must configure the map tool to specify a layer and field name in the map tool settings dialog box. The tool will create buffers around features from the selected layer that match selection criteria.
