I am trying to create a series of rectangular polygons following a line feature in ArcMap. I want to use these polygons as an index layer to create data driven pages.
This tool in ArcGIS Pro seems to be what I am looking for: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/data-management/generate-rectangles-along-lines.htm
Is there a similar option in ArcMap?
I am using ArcMap 10.8.1.
The tool Strip Map Index Features (Cartography) does exactly what I was looking for because it:
Creates a series of rectangular polygons, or index features, that follow a single linear feature or a group of linear features. These index features can be used with Data Driven Pages to define pages in a strip map or a set of maps that follow a linear feature. The resulting index features contain attributes that can be used to rotate and orient the map on the page and determine which index features, or pages, are next to the current page (to the left and right or to the top and bottom).
