I have this script below. When the three arguments are set as variables and I run the script in the ArcMap Python window to test it it runs perfectly. I created a tool for this script. In the parameters for the tool properties I have the Data Types for the 3 arguments are set as "SQL expressions" and all the data types for the feature layers created are "Feature Layers" with a "Type: Derived" and "Direction: Output".
First problem: when I run the tool with the script as is i get this error 'RuntimeError: LayerObject: Set attribute showLabels does not exist'. I remove the code block that applies the labels then I get this error 'ValueError: Unknown value for Extent argument'. Running the script in the mxd both code blocks work perfectly.
Second Problem: I remove both code blocks from the script and run the tool and nothing happens. No errors. Just doesn't add layers.
