This is related to Retain ESRI symbology in Mapinfo TAB As a workaround I am wondering if I can save all my ESRI symbology from the lyr files created using the script below to an ESRI style sheet and then convert that to a font set which can be opened in mapinfo/opengeo? [ATTACH=CONFIG]15752[/ATTACH] The image above shows some of the [complex] symbology that we have in our ESRI mxd's that need to go into Mapinfo and/or Opengeo to be available via WMS. Tests show that KML created from the lyr files handle the symbology better than tab but not every time. Code so far... # Author: import arcpy, string, datetime, shutil, os import arcpy.mapping as MAP #Read input parameters from script tool MXDList = string.split(arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0), ";") ProjectPath = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1) #MXDList=r'P:\2012\183_TownPlanning_Symbology\Working\test.mxd' #ProjectPath=r'P:\2012\183_TownPlanning_Symbology\Working' count=0 #Loop through each MXD and print #for MXDPath in MXDList: #MXDFile=r'P:\2012\183_TownPlanning_Symbology\Working\Strategic_Plan_Ravenshoe_8.mxd' count=count+1 print count ##try: mxd=arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(MXDFile) outPath = ProjectPath+'\\'+mxd.filePath[mxd.filePath.rfind('\\')+1:mxd.filePath.rfind('.')] os.mkdir(outPath) msd = outPath+'.msd' dfList = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd) for df in dfList: #arcpy.mapping.ConvertToMSD(mxd, msd, df, "NORMAL", "NORMAL") #arcpy.AddMessage(str(count)+'...' +str(outPath)+'...'+'\n')     lyrList=arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "", df)     outPath = ProjectPath+'\\'+mxd.filePath[mxd.filePath.rfind('\\')+1:mxd.filePath.rfind('.')]+'\\'+str(df.name)     os.mkdir(outPath)     for lyrFile in lyrList:         if lyrFile.isFeatureLayer == True:             if lyrFile.visible == True:                 arcpy.AddMessage(str(lyrFile)+' is visible')                 print str(lyrFile)+' is visible...exporting dataset'                 outFileN=str(arcpy.ValidateTableName(lyrFile.longName[lyrFile.longName.rfind('\\')+1:]))                 try:                     arcpy.FeatureClassToFeatureClass_conversion(lyrFile.dataSource, outPath, outFileN)                     arcpy.SaveToLayerFile_management(lyrFile,outPath+'\\'+outFileN+'.lyr', "ABSOLUTE")                     arcpy.LayerToKML_conversion(outPath+'\\'+outFileN+'.lyr', outPath+'\\'+outFileN+'.kmz')                 except:                     print 'Exists...continuing'         arcpy.AddMessage(str(lyrFile)+' is visible')         print str(lyrFile)+' is not visible' ##except: ##    errorM=arcpy.GetMessages() ##    arcpy.AddMessage(str(count)+str(errorM)+'\n continuing...\n') ##    print errorM ##    #MAP.PrintMap(MXD, printer) #Remove variable reference to file del mxd, msd BTW// I tried the msd route (change to .zip and open the xml) but it is very convoluted. ...

This should be a really simple process but I am having issues. I want to search a workspace for all files with a certain string and then add them to the current workspace with a selected symbology. When the mxd name is hardcoded the code works fine but I need it to update the currently open map. It works fine with mapdocument("current") when run in the python window from arcmap but I need it to work as a tool. Issues 1. Error [[: Object: CreateObject cannot open map document]] I have to set the map doc to be the current workspace 2. When run in the python window the symbology is not updated. 3. It should only update the map frame/toc once everything is added Thanks, import os, arcpy, arcpy.mapping from arcpy import env GDB = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) Text = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1) symbologyLayer = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2) #OutputGDB = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(3) arcpy.env.workspace=GDB mxd=arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT") list=arcpy.ListFeatureClasses('*'+Text+'*') for layer in list:     dataFrame = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "Layers")[0]     addLayer = arcpy.mapping.Layer(layer)     arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(dataFrame, addLayer, "BOTTOM")     arcpy.ApplySymbologyFromLayer_management (addLayer, symbologyLayer) # Clean up the MapDocument object by deleting it #del mxd arcpy.RefreshActiveView() arcpy.RefreshTOC() ERROR DETAILS Messages Executing: ProcessDatasets22 P:\2012\Job_044_DM_Radio_Propogation\Working\FinalPropogation\cb_BEL07\working\bel07.gdb _dow P:\2012\Job_044_DM_Radio_Propogation\Working\signal_strength_poly.lyr Start Time: Mon Mar 19 14:11:27 2012 Running script ProcessDatasets22... : Object: CreateObject cannot open map document Failed to execute (ProcessDatasets22).

I am writing a script that takes an input of an Area of Interest (AOI) and then walks through the base directories to find any file that has an extent that intersects with the AOI, clip it and generate a text output file. I've got most of it working except comparing the raster extent to the AOI extent. It is not giving errors but just doesn't work... Any advise? I am also having issues with trying to clip the extent to a polygon, it clips but maintains the MAX/MIN and doesn't clip to the mask. I have tried three methods as in the comments in the script. Extract by Mask says I don't have Spatial Analyst but it is on.
