• use arc python for multiple tool operations
• type import archly upon start up to initiate arc python, then type archly. and select tool
• always use parenthesis and quotes and separate things with comma. spaces don't matter
• update tool is similar to union tool, but update will dissolve boundary lines between two
layers.

• Multiple selections can be made after initial selection, check "select from selection"
• selections can be removed from current selection
• Remember to check the "spacial selected method" when selecting by location.
• After a selection has been made via select by location, select by attribute can be used to further narrow criteria
