Great info, thank you. ... View more

Awesome, thank you. I landed on something similar and am now wondering, in which situations is it better to use one over the other? MapView.Active.Map.GetLayersAsFlattenedList().OfType<GroupLayer>().ToList(); VS IReadOnlyList<GroupLayer> groupLayers = MapView.Active.Map.Layers.OfType<GroupLayer>().ToList(); Thanks! ... View more

Thanks for the reply. It appears I was using it incorrectly! Once I used the ToList() I was able to get them all! Thank you. ... View more

Any reason this wouldn't work with ItemAdded/ItemRemoved? private static IActiveViewEvents_Event Events         {             get { return ArcMap.Document.ActiveView as IActiveViewEvents_Event; }         } void Event_OnOpenDoc()         {             ArcMap.Events.OpenDocument += delegate() { Events.ItemAdded += Events_ItemAdded; };         } private void Events_ItemAdded(Object item)         {             MessageBox.Show("ItemAdded");         } I am able to run this without error but nothing happens when an item is added to the view. I feel like I'm missing something or using this incorrectly. Any help with this is greatly appreciated! ... View more

This was the issue. We use annotation layers and sure enough there is a relationshipclass on the file it errored on. Thank you, and everyone else for the great help on this. ... View more

Is there a way to tell if there is a relationship class attached to it? ... View more

That's why I am wondering if there is something strange with creating a FGDB with one license level and then trying to alter it with another. I'll take a look at the matrix but it seems really wrong that I wouldn't be able to do something basic like add a field. Regardless of which license level I was using. Thanks for the info(I also didn't mean to mark my post as helpful, sorry). ... View more

It's not an SDE GDB... That's why I thought it was strange. But i tested it with the Standard license and there was no issue. ... View more

it's just an addField on a featureclass table in a GDB. ... View more

It is concurrent and usually tied up during the day for testing but could work overnight. Do you know if I alter the tables with the Standard will it make it so the rest of my data then will need a standard license to be altered in the future? ... View more

I guess I will look into using the arcpy.da.updateCursor... Thank you Ian and Blake for the help! Best Chris ... View more

That did indeed get me through the loop (sometimes it's the most obvious stuff)! But it does not update the field when I add: cur.updateRow(row) Thoughts? ... View more

Thank you for the reply, I will have a look at your suggestions. I will give it a go with calc field though. Thanks! For my addFields I am using a tuple with no issues. add_Fields = [("New_NAME","TEXT","","","254","","NULLABLE","NON_REQUIRED","")] arcpy.AddField_management(*(os.path.join(dirpath, filename),) + field) I am running into problems when I try to update the new field with the old value. #create field search list             possibleSearchFields = ["ENG_NAME"]             updateField = ["SL_NAME"]             searchFields = []             #Loop through possibleSearchFields             for psf in possibleSearchFields:                 if psf in [f.name for f in fieldList]:                     #add to searchFields                     searchFields.append(psf)             #LOOP ROWS                 cur = arcpy.UpdateCursor(os.path.join(dirpath, filename))                 for row in cur:                     for searchField in searchFields:                     #if value of field not blank, set updateField's value in row. also exit out of row loop                         if row.getValue(updateField[0]) == None:                                 print searchField + "exists in the table and is updating: " + filename                                 row.setValue(updateField[0], row.getValue(searchField))                                 cur.updateRow(row)                                 print "Updated row: " + str(row) + " in " + filename                         else:                             print " No name field in the search list: " + filename ...
