I am looking to measure the length of stream segments(line) on numerous tax lot properties (Polygon).
Is there a tool that will allow me to "Cut" or "Clip" streams to tax lots to estimate not only length, but to create a buffer for each property and calculate area?
The Intersect geoprocessing tool in ArcGIS can take line feature class (like streams) and intersect them with your polygon feature class (your tax properties). The result would be a line feature class with the attributes of the streams and tax polygons. The output line geometry will only exist where there's a polygon. The lines are split at the boundaries of the polygon as well. You could then look at processing the output for length's etc.
