I am trying to setup a simple batch copy features tool. I would like to have a simple tool where the user adds input features and specifies the output location.
I tested and it works like this:
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
import os
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True
inFC = r"M:\Destinations"
outWorkspace = r"M:\OtherLayers"
variable = "TEST"
arcpy.env.workspace = inFC
fcList = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses()
#Export the feature classes
for fc in fcList:
print fc
outFC = os.path.join(outWorkspace, fc + "_" + variable)
arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(fc, outFC)
print "Finished"
When I set it up as a tool with this code:
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
import os
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True
inFC = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
outWorkspace = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)
variable = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2)
arcpy.AddMessage(inFC)
arcpy.env.workspace = inFC
fcList = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses()
#Export the feature classes
for fc in inFC.split(";"):
outFC = os.path.join(outWorkspace, fc + "_" + variable)
arcpy.AddMessage(outFC)
arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(fc, outFC)It runs but saves the copies in the input directory and ignores the outWorkspace all together. I have set the output parameters as: Datatype = folder & Direction = output.
Am I setting this up incorrectly? Is there something with setting up as a tool that I am missing all together? Any help is greatly appreciated!
*EDIT*
I thought I would add the working code here to help anyone if they have a similar issue.
import arcpy
import os
inFC = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
addText = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)
outWorkspace = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2)
arcpy.AddMessage(inFC)
for fc in inFC.split(";"):
outFC = os.path.join(outWorkspace, os.path.basename(fc).split(".")[0] + "_" + addText)
arcpy.AddMessage(outFC)
arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(fc, outFC)Thanks
