featuresToEnvelopes

Creates a polygon from the envelope of each feature in the input feature class. Attributes of the original features are transferred to the envelope polygons.

Inputs:

A Polyline, Polygon or Multipoint feature class
Expand distance. A distance in the units of the spatial reference of the input dataset with which the envelope of each feature will be expanded. The parameter is optional. The default value is 0.

Outputs:

A polygon feature class. All attributes of the original features are preserved

Examples:

Input Dataset	Result Dataset	Overlay

Parameters

Expression	Explanation
<input_dataset>	A Polyline, Polygon or Multipoint feature class or feature layer
<out_feature_ class>	A String - the full name of the output feature class (A feature class with the same full name should not exist)
{Expand_Distance}	A double - distance in the units of the spatial reference of the input dataset with which the envelope of each feature will be expanded. The parameter is optional. The default value is 0 - no expand
