'''Editing''': In this tutorial, they teach you how to do some operations like buffering that IMO might best be done in a model or script so that they are repeatable. I like documented, repeatable operations, it seems lots of GIS is done in a quick and dirty style to me. Same goes for all the operations in the Geoprocessing tab in ArcMap. Those are just shortcuts to tools. YMMV; your shop may condone this style and you need it in a hurry. Then you need the same thing done again tomorrow in a big hurry. And the next day... then a month later and you can't remember what the heck you did. Clip then buffer or was it select then buffer then...?? | '''Editing''': In this tutorial, they teach you how to do some operations like buffering that IMO might best be done in a model or script so that they are repeatable.
