#  I have the current sheet as a parameter.  This is going to be your grid sheet/page.  You will need a copy of the layer you are using for data driven pages, open the properties -> Definition Query and set up the Page Definition. CurrentSheet = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) Selection = arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management(TRAFFICSIGNS, "INTERSECT", CurrentSheet) # TextElement = the Element Name TextElement.text = Selection ddp.exportToPDF("C:LOCATION", "CURRENT") finalResult.appendPages("C:LOCATION") ...

No the extent was good, the results were ok but you could see it was missing a lot for the range I wanted of steep slopes.  When looking at and calculating the slope from the contours and comparing that to the slope calculated using the tool it did not match up.   I figured out that the Raster cells were just too big (30m),  I got the cell size down to 3m and the results were a lot better. ...

I think I was just over thinking it.  The reason is because the slope raster does not match up with the topo that was generated using the same raster and I don't know why. ... View more

Thanks for the tip!  This is exactly what I will do, if I do not find a way to do it without replacing. ... View more

It still runs fine, but the results of my list in the text element are <BOL>002:</BOL> Jeff & Jane Smith - 67890 instead of 002: Jeff & Jane Smith - 67890.  If there just 1 row that has the "&" the whole list will look like <BOL>002:</BOL> Jeff & Jane Smith - 67890.   It ignores the bold formatting altogether.  I think you are right I might have to just replace them, was hoping someone ran into this type a thing before and had a work around.  Thanks for the reply. ...

Sorry for the confusion, it is not because I want the symbol, it is just that the symbol is already there in a lot of the attributes that I am trying to write to a text element. ... View more

Without seeing the code and error it's hard to say.  Are you putting "/" for the rest of the path? If you use "\" you need to add the r at the beginning of the path."Y:/folder1/folder2/folder3/PARAMETER INPUT"      or    r"Y:\folder1\folder2\folder3\PARAMETER INPUT" .   Is your output setting of the parameter a text? ...

Ian/Tom, I have tried the different versions and it still gets written like this:  Anna        &        I want this:  Anna  Ben                                                                                                         Ben                                        Charlie Dora                                                                                                         Charlie                                                                                                         Dora rows = arcpy.SearchCursor(Layer) textValue = "" for row in rows:      count = 1      if (count%2) == 0:           textValue += row.getValue(Value1) + '  '           count += 1       else:           textValue += row.getValue(Value) + '\r\n'           count +=  1 ParcelText2.text = textValue ...

I got it figured out.  I think "ALL" might work, but yes the keyword was the issue.  I ended up doing sort of a similar thing, I created a new pdf document before the loop, exported each sheet as "CURRENT" then appended the pages to the new pdf.  Thanks for the help.  ... View more

Got it to work using your suggestions.  Had to create a new pdf document before I ran the loop, export each sheet individually, and append.  Thanks for the helping me think it through! # Always run script in the mxd you are working on. mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT") finalResult = arcpy.mapping.PDFDocumentCreate(r"Y:\GIS\GIS_Work\Working\parcel_test\maps\final.pdf") # Overwrites any existing features. arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True # Uses the Dataframe called "Layers". df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "Layers")[0] extent = df.extent ParcelText2 = arcpy.mapping.ListLayoutElements(mxd, "TEXT_ELEMENT", "ParcelsText2")[0] ExportSheets = arcpy.mapping.Layer("Sheets_11x17") Parcels = arcpy.mapping.Layer("Parcels") ddp = mxd.dataDrivenPages for pageNumb in range(1, mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageCount + 1):     ddp.currentPageID = pageNumb     SelectedSheet = arcpy.mapping.Layer("Sheets_11x172")     ExportSheetsPage = ddp.pageRow.PLAN_NUMBER     arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management(Parcels, "WITHIN", SelectedSheet)     rows = arcpy.SearchCursor(Parcels)     textValue = ""     for row in rows:         textValue += row.getValue("MAP_PARCEL")     ParcelText2.text = textValue     del rows     ddp.exportToPDF(r"Y:\GIS\GIS_Work\Working\parcel_test\maps\test.pdf", "CURRENT")     finalResult.appendPages(r"Y:\GIS\GIS_Work\Working\parcel_test\maps\test.pdf")     del textValue ...
