<DIV>Hello,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is there a tool out there to create a shapefile containing one polygon, which is the combined boundary of another shapefiles's shapes?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For example, I have a shapefile containing parcel polygons for a county. I want to create another shapefile based on these parcel shapes which describes the combined boundary of parcels (e.g. to be able to effetively check if a point is in the bounding polygon)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Pls. let me know what is the best approach to get such bounding shape.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
