Hi, Thank you for this script. It works perfectly. Is there a way i can add an attribute value from the original line to the associated points that are created? I would like to be able to see which points are on each line in a multiple feature featureclass. Many thanks for any suggestions. James ... View more

Hello, Did you manage to get this to work as i am having the same issue after upgraing to ArcPad 10.2. Thanks ... View more

Hello, I have managed to get the ymax by using (element.Geometry.Envelope.YMax) However when the legend is updated and i try and get the new ymax it still returns the original ymax. I have tried using: legend.Refresh(); mapSurround.Refresh(); mapDocument.ActiveView.Refresh(); mapDocument.ActiveView.PartialRefresh(esriViewDrawPhase.esriViewGraphics, null, null); If i save the mxd and reopen it i can then get the new ymax. Does anyone know how to get the ymax from a legend after it has been updated? Thank you ... View more

Hi, I have fixed the issue by using: arcpy.ExportMetadata_conversion(line.replace('\r\n',""), translator, "c:\\Metadata\\" + os.path.basename(line.replace('\r\n',"")) + ".xml") ... View more

Thank you so much it is working now. I knew it was something to do with that ID but couldn't get my head around it. I have finally managed to create the square buffers and associate the correct id to the polygons now. I find vba much easier to understand but am getting there slowly. Thanks again. ... View more

Hello, As you can see in the code i attached 'FeatID' is the id i would like to assign to the polygons. I am using 'feat.setValue("OW_ID", FeatID)' to populate the OW_ID field with the FeatID value but it doesnt seem to update the polygons correctly. It is like it is missing the first value.

Hi, Thank you for the help. I have now got this working. The problem was that the "coordList" was being created within the loop ratherthan before the loop. I am now using this cose that works. Howver i would like to give a value to each polygon. try:    # Open an insert cursor for the new feature class    #    cur = arcpy.InsertCursor(fcname)    # Create an array and point object needed to create features    #    lineArray = arcpy.Array()    pnt = arcpy.Point()    # Initialize a variable for keeping track of a feature's ID.    #    ID = -1    for line in coordList: # Open the input file       # set the point's ID, X and Y properties       #       pnt.ID, pnt.X, pnt.Y = string.split(line,",")       #print pnt.ID, pnt.X, pnt.Y       if ID == -1:          ID = pnt.ID                # Add the point to the feature's array of points       #   If the ID has changed, create a new feature       #       #print ID, pnt.ID       if ID != pnt.ID:          # Create a new row or feature, in the feature class          #          feat = cur.newRow()          # Set the geometry of the new feature to the array of points          #          feat.shape = lineArray          # Insert the feature          #          cur.insertRow(feat)          lineArray.removeAll()       lineArray.add(pnt)       ID = pnt.ID    # Add the last feature    #    feat = cur.newRow()    feat.shape = lineArray    cur.insertRow(feat)          lineArray.removeAll()    del cur except Exception as e:    print e.message I have tried this: try:    # Open an insert cursor for the new feature class    #    cur = arcpy.InsertCursor(fcname)    # Create an array and point object needed to create features    #    lineArray = arcpy.Array()    pnt = arcpy.Point()    # Initialize a variable for keeping track of a feature's ID.    #    ID = -1    for line in coordList: # Open the input file       # set the point's ID, X and Y properties       #       FeatID, pnt.ID, pnt.X, pnt.Y = string.split(line,",")       print FeatID, pnt.ID, pnt.X, pnt.Y       if ID == -1:          ID = pnt.ID                # Add the point to the feature's array of points       #   If the ID has changed, create a new feature       #       #print ID, pnt.ID       if ID != pnt.ID:          # Create a new row or feature, in the feature class          #          feat = cur.newRow()          feat.setValue("OW_ID", FeatID)          # Set the geometry of the new feature to the array of points          #          feat.shape = lineArray          # Insert the feature          #          cur.insertRow(feat)          lineArray.removeAll()       lineArray.add(pnt)       ID = pnt.ID    # Add the last feature    #    feat = cur.newRow()    feat.setValue("OW_ID", FeatID)    feat.shape = lineArray    cur.insertRow(feat)          lineArray.removeAll()    del cur except Exception as e:    print e.message However this does not populate the fcname with the FeatID correctly. Any help will be greatly appreciated. ... View more

Thank you for the help. As you can see i tried that but the point contains the coordinates but the polygons that are created do not contain any coordinates. Thanks again. ... View more

Hi, Sorry i should have explained this a bit better. This is just the last part of the code that i cant get to work. I have created all the variables and have a list containing the coordinates (coordList) required to create a polygon around polylines. For each polyline the list looks like this: ['0,9953.36724322,20031.2536665', '0,9997.81733525,20052.4203769', '0,9993.08806586,20039.092436', '0,9948.63797384,20017.9257255', '0,9953.36724322,20031.2536665'] I am then trying to use these coordinates to create a polygon.
