Module 11: Sharing Tools

GIS 4102

 

 

This weeks lab assignment worked with sharing custom tools to others.  The above screenshot is an example of a custom tool that was created to generate random points within a feature class no closer than a specified distance.  The points that were generated were then given buffers as defined by the tool.  All the results were then exported out to a specified destination folder. 

 

Overall, the custom tools section of this class has just been very rewarding to me.  I find that the ability to create custom tools and then share them to others is a huge benefit to me in my line of work.  I also like that passwords can be assigned to these tools that they can only be edited and exported by those that know the passkey.
