It sounds like there's a syntax problem somewhere. Seeing your code would be helpful for us to find the issue. ... View more

If the suggestion above doesn't work for you, you might want to take a look at this help page from esri: http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.3/index.cfm?TopicName=Writing_geometries It is fairly straightforwards using the script examples to write the X and Y coords of the points into a polygon. ...

You could try a spatial join on the different polygon classes, then make a new field calculated from the joined attributes, e.g if field a = yes, then new field = new field + "A" ... View more

not sure if this would help, but you can write output to memory using "in_memory\featureclassname". It's not possible to edit this feature class but you can read from it. ... View more

I just tried your code myself on a test dbf and got the right output. I would take a look at your test file. Maybe the points are identical? ... View more

Thanks, this is just what I was looking for. I can do the majority of what I need with the native geoprocessor, it's just I want to use a couple specific objects. But this is excellent, now I can use them in python. ... View more

A (relatively) simple way to do this is to make a macro and run this function: Private Function GetArea(FeatureA As IFeature, FeatureB As IFeature) As Double     Dim SourceArea As IArea     Dim TargetArea As IArea     Dim TopoOp As ITopologicalOperator3     Dim IntersectArea As IArea     Set SourceArea = FeatureA.Shape 'FeatureA and FeatureB are the polygons to be checked for overlap     Set TargetArea = FeatureB.Shape     Set TopoOp = TargetArea     Set IntersectArea = TopoOp.Intersect(pSourceArea, esriGeometry2Dimension)             GetArea = (IntersectArea.Area / SourceArea.Area) * 100 'returns the percentage of first polygon which overlaps second polygon         Set SourceArea = Nothing     Set TargetArea = Nothing     Set TopoOp = Nothing     Set IntersectArea = Nothing End Function You could then check GetArea against certain preset values, etc, to determine whether or not it would need to be rotated. I've found this particular percentage of intersect code to be invaluable, it'd be nice if ESRI had included a tool to do this. ... View more
