What's new in the Analysis toolbox
A number of changes were made to the Analysis toolbox at 10.1, including two new tools in the Statistics toolset; improvement to the Buffer tool to allow the creation of geodesic buffers for points, lines, and polygons; general improvement in large overlay performance; and better support for data stored in ArcSDE geodatabases.
Toolset changes
No new toolsets were added.
New tools
Toolset | Tool | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Statistics toolset | Polygon Neighbors | Creates a table with statistics based on polygon contiguity (overlaps, coincident edges, or nodes). |
| Tabulate Intersection | Computes the intersection between two feature classes and cross-tabulates the area, length, or count of the intersecting features. |
Improved tools

|
Geodesic buffers can now be generated for all feature types (points, lines, and polygons). | |
A number of new match options have been added for determining the spatial relationship between two feature classes, including INTERSECT_3D, WITHIN_A_DISTANCE, WITHIN_A_DISTANCE_3D, COMPLETELY_CONTAINS, and CONTAINS_CLEMENTINI. |
