Overview of Analyzing Feature Classes
Use buffers and overlays to analyze feature classes.
NOTE This functionality applies only to geospatial feature data. For information
about using buffers and overlays for drawing objects, see
Overlaying Two
Topologies
(page 1336) and Buffering a Topology (page 1345).
Buffers identify areas at a specified distance from a geographic feature. Once
you specify a feature and generate a buffer around it, you can identify or select
features that fall inside or outside the boundary of the buffer.
