I need to open a Python Script using GPToolDialog(), but the script is in a Toolset, not in the Toolbox main path. I tried many ways to solve but do not work, examples: Example 1: pythonaddins . GPToolDialog ( r 'Path to Toolbox\Toolset' , 'Script' ) Example 2: pythonaddins . GPToolDialog ( r 'Path to Toolbox' , 'Toolset\Script' ) No one ot the examples works.

Alexander, Note that I created a Toolset into a Toolbox. I realize that GPToolDialog() calls the script name, even the .py are in or out any Toolset. If my new tool box goes to Toolbox > Toolset > .py (script) I can use your code: import arcpy import pythonaddins pythonaddins . GPToolDialog ( r 'D:\Toolbox.tbx' , '.py (script, just the name)' ) This code will call the Script name in the Toolbox, independent the location in any toolset. The name is the key. Many thanks for the help!

There is any possible to open a script in a Toolset by GPToolDialog()?

I need to open a Python Script using GPToolDialog(), but the script is in a Toolset, not in the Toolbox main path.

I tried many ways to solve but do not work, examples:

Example 1:

pythonaddins<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>GPToolDialog<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>r<SPAN class="string token">'Path to Toolbox\Toolset'</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">'Script'</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>‍

Example 2:

pythonaddins<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>GPToolDialog<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>r<SPAN class="string token">'Path to Toolbox'</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">'Toolset\Script'</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

No one ot the examples works.

Alexander,

Note that I created a Toolset into a Toolbox. I realize that GPToolDialog() calls the script name, even the .py are in or out any Toolset. If my new tool box goes to

</CODE><BLOCKQUOTE class="jive_macro_quote jive-quote jive_text_macro"><CODE>Toolbox > Toolset > .py (script)

I can use your code:

<SPAN class="keyword token">import</SPAN> arcpy
<SPAN class="keyword token">import</SPAN> pythonaddins

pythonaddins<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>GPToolDialog<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>r<SPAN class="string token">'D:\Toolbox.tbx'</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">'.py (script, just the name)'</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>‍‍‍‍<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

This code will call the Script name in the Toolbox, independent the location in any toolset. The name is the key.

Many thanks for the help!

Vinicius,

I created a tool box here:

\Toolbox

I created a tool set named "Tools" and I added a simple script to the toolbox and named it "test2."

Here is the syntax that opens that script in a GP dialog:

<SPAN class="keyword token">import</SPAN> arcpy
<SPAN class="keyword token">import</SPAN> pythonaddins

pythonaddins<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>GPToolDialog<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>r<SPAN class="string token">'D:\Toolbox.tbx'</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">'test2'</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>
