Hi guys,
I'm trying to create a Python Addin to allow a user to dynamically select a feature in the Map Display Window in ArcMap, grab the ID of that feature and populate it in a variable, then select from a second feature class the features within the second feature class which have that ID, exporting those features to a new FC and then symbolizing with a layer file and adding the result to the data frame.
Here's what I have so far:
Problem is, I can't figure out how to use the extent generated by 'SelExtent', which is really just the 'rectangle_geometry' produced by the tool, to select the particular feature from 'SelFC' that falls within the extent.
I'm thinking maybe I should use onCircle instead as that produces a polygon object I might be able to do a Select By Location with for an Intersect, but thought I would see if any of the big brains here knew better...
Thanks in advance
