Intersect Polygons

Produces a new layer which is the geometric intersection of the two input polygon layers.

New Polygon layer
- The attributes of both input layers are preserved
- The spatial reference of the input dataset is preserved

The function works only for polygon with polygon intersections.

For intersection of layers with different geometries use

Input Layers

Result

Result from Intersect Polygons

Result overlayed with the inputs

Result from Intersect Polygons overlayed with the original polygons

Parameters

Expression	Explanation
Function Name	IntersectPolygons
<input dataset>	A String representing the input layer. Must be of Polygon type.
<Intersect Dataset>	A String representing the layer to be used for intersect. Must be of Polygon type.
<output dataset>	A String - the full name of the output layer.

ETGWPath used in the table below is the full path to ETGWRun.exe (E.G. "C:\Program Files\ETSpatial Techniques\ETGeo Wizards\ETGWRun.exe")

Language	Syntax
Python	subprocess.call([ETGWPath, "IntersectPolygons", "input dataset", "Intersect Dataset", "output dataset"])
.NET using ETGWRun.exe	StartInfo.FileName = ETGWPath StartInfo.Arguments = "IntersectPolygons" "input dataset" "Intersect Dataset" "output dataset"
.NET using ETGWOutX.dll	IntersectPolygons(input dataset, Intersect Dataset, output dataset)
ArcPy	arcpy.IntersectPolygons(input dataset, Intersect Dataset, "output dataset")

Notes:

<> - required parameter
{} - optional parameter
See examples for Python , .NET or ArcPy
The argument separator for StartInfo.Arguments is space. If a string might contain a space, you need to double quote it.
