Maplet - Splitting Datasets by Attribute

Today's blog is another Maplet for ArcGIS 10. A coworker was wanting to know how to split a dataset into parts based on an attribute, so here is a short video with a couple of ways. For just a few elements, it can be just as quick to do a definition query for each of the fields and then do a data export. You can do the same just by selecting an attribute, and exporting, but you have to remember to only export the selected features.
  I also showed a neat little tool developed by Tim Fox of the USGS that automates the process. This can be a real time saver when there are more than a few attributes you want to use. Here is the link to the USGS tool.

Now, the video.
