An overview of the Utilities toolset

These utility scripts perform a variety of data conversion tasks. They were designed to be used in conjunction with other tools in the Spatial Statistics toolbox.

Legacy:

Because there are easier and more efficient ways to get the area of features, the Calculate Areas tool will no longer be included with ArcGIS Pro. Use the Calculate Field tool instead of the Calculate Areas tool in your workflows.

Tool	Description
Calculate Areas	Calculates area values for each feature in a polygon feature class.
Calculate Distance Band from Neighbor Count	Returns the minimum, the maximum, and the average distance to the specified Nth nearest neighbor (N is an input parameter) for a set of features. Results are written as tool execution messages.
Collect Events	Converts event data, such as crime or disease incidents, to weighted point data.
Convert Spatial Weights Matrix To Table	Converts a binary spatial weights matrix file (.swm) to a table.
Export Feature Attributes To ASCII	Exports feature class coordinates and attribute values to a space, comma, or semicolon-delimited ASCII text file.
