Hello I have an add-in project, friends, I did some research, I will write add-in on python for the first time. The problem is that first of all, I found 3 different environments for the working environment. I am currently developing with PyScripter. I am having problems importing arcpy and pythonaddins here, so the addins I wrote do not work. I would like some help on this matter. Another problem I have is that we can create a column and put a button on the windowsform in the .Net environment, that is, in the dockeblwindow environment, and make a design. In the same way, I could not find many examples of whether there is such an environment in python or if it can be done. Thank you very much in advance for your help. ... View more

I've successfully created a toolbar using the Esri Add-In wizard. Each button references a different tool from a custom Python script toolbox I've developed. I've made an iteration of the Add-In that references each script tool in the toolbox file, and it works perfect. Now my question: can I embed the script from the tools into the Add-In script, instead of just referencing the *.tbx file? And by doing so, will this let me distribute the Add-In by itself without having to also distribute the toolbox for it to work? I've seen a few articles/posts about this, but they've left me confused as to how to do this. Thank you. ... View more

Continuing on in learning Python as I go I am at the next issue.  I have created a Python toolbar add-in with a button for use in ArcMap. Start up ArcMap, toolbar is there, select button and a menu I created in Python is displayed.  It contains radiobuttons and comboboxes. On the reset button I want to clear the radiobuttons, clear the selected item from the combobox so it is not selected-blue, and set the combobox back to the first item in the list. When I run the script from PyScripter the menu appears and I can clear and reset everything so the menu looks like it just loaded. When I start ArcMap the Python toolbar appears, select the button, menu appears, select a radiobutton, select an item from a combobox, that all works. When I select the reset button I get the following error whether it is a radiobutton or a combobox: I have the python window open in ArcMap so I can see what is happening. Exception in Tkinter callback Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.5\Lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1542, in __call__ return self.func(*args) File "D:\Applications\Python\Layers.py", line 63, in reset RB1.selection_clear = var.set(0) NameError: global name 'RB1' is not defined This is beyond my knowledge at this point, I did try to set a global variable with no change to the error message. These are my import statements for the script: from tkinter import * from tkinter import ttk import tkFont import arcpy from arcpy import env import sqlite3 import pythonaddins I am not putting in all the code, for now it is all radiobuttons and comboboxes, very repetitive. This is the code I have concerning 'RB1': def reset():      RB1.selection_clear = var.set(0) RB1 = Radiobutton(root, text="Single Map",padx = 5, variable=var, value=1, font="Arial 9") #, state=NORMAL).place(x=10,y=60) RB1.pack() RB1.place(x=10,y=60) RB1.config(state=NORMAL) Button(root, text='Reset',width=20,bg='brown',fg='white', font="Arial 8 bold", command=reset).place(x=39,y=237) As this is my first Python script ever, and for use within ArcMap, I am sure there are a few things I am missing. Thank you for looking at my question. ... View more

Is there a way to get rid of the combo box in the Commands menu for a combo box add-in? A good example of what I'm looking for is the Map Scale combo box (shown at bottom). It just has the name of the tool without showing the actual combo box. It also has an icon. Could I add that also? Or no on both? ... View more

I am trying to make an add-in tool for ArcMap that will allow a user to draw a rectangle to export the visible layers in their MXD to shapefiles. I used the Python Add-in Wizard to create my add-in, and I modified the python script that executes the business logic of my tool like this: import arcpy import pythonaddins class ToolClass2(object): """Implementation for AddinTest20200513_addin.tool (Tool)""" def __init__(self): self.enabled = True self.cursor = 3 self.shape = "Rectangle" def onRectangle(self, rectangle_geometry): extent = rectangle_geometry output_location = arcpy.env.workspace = r'C:\Users\sipes_gene\Desktop\AddinTest20200513' a = arcpy.Array() a.add(extent.lowerLeft) a.add(extent.lowerRight) a.add(extent.upperRight) a.add(extent.upperLeft) a.add(extent.lowerLeft) boundary_poly = arcpy.Polygon(a) mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("Current") lyrList = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd) for lyr in lyrList: if lyr.visible is True: out_shp = output_location + str(lyr) + ".shp" arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management(lyr, 'Intersect', boundary_poly, 0, 'New_Selection') copyFCs = arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(lyr, output_location, out_shp) arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management(lyr, "CLEAR_SELECTION") arcpy.RefreshActiveView() return copyFCs‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍  I know I am very close to pulling this off because when I run it in ArcMap it will return the first feature class in my TOC as a shapefile, based on the rectangle I drew, but then it stops and does not proceed to the rest of my feature classes. Somehow my loop isn't working correctly. I'm wondering if I need to put the array inside the loop? #arcpy scripting‌ ... View more
