The GetMinimumSpanningCircle() command should get you what you need. It returns a circle "compound variable"-- you can extract the center coordinate and radius of the circle using dot notation (see the help file on compound variables).
You could then use CreateBuffers() to create a band of the desired radius for each case around each of the center points. --- In [email protected], "Shaung_Liu" <shau...@...> wrote: > > Could someone tell me how to do the following or if it is not possible: > > I have a layer with oddly shaped features.
