So, I moved it just like you suggested, and things seemed to work. It opened up all the files and added the extent to the index. However, after the last file, I got the same exact error, so it acted like it didn't finish. However, upon looking at the shapefile, it is all there. Crazy, but it works! Thank you!

Looking at ListDataFrames—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop and then DataFrame—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop , it looks like I should just change it to if pFrame.name == "Strip":. Did that and it opens the first layer, then tries to add the extent to the index, then fails.

Fixed that line and re-imported it into ArcToolbox. It ran, but the shapefile is completely empty. No polygons or table data. So disappointing.

Hi Nicholas, thank you for being so patient with me. I feel like I'm asking such basic questions, but I am making progress! Long story short, I have tried numerous methods, but what finally worked was deleting every indent on every line and hitting tab. Once I did it to the pink region, it was willing to work. I then put the file in the same folder as my MXDs, and tried to run it and I got a line 30 "TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len()", which I read was probably because it was waiting on an input (python - What is a 'NoneType' object? - Stack Overflow). I renamed and replaced the file in your Scripts folder and reloaded the Map Index Toolbox into catalog, but this is a whole new realm for me, and it is obviously not pulling the py script when it runs. The results are the same as if I hadn't changed any code. I tried right clicking it in ArcToolbox and importing my py script, and that failed.

I can't tell if I am making headway or not with that window complaining about the formatting. I cannot find any spaces. I'm such a noob in over my head. The idea to call for a specific data frame came from the bottom of this page: ListDataFrames—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop Thank you!

I have attached two files I have tried to modify below (I seemed to have deleted the real for loop one, but these are still good enough examples of my attempts). It could be me and how I am attempting to run them, as I know you bundled them up into a nice ArcTool box, but when I try to replace the py file, it seems to not acknowledge my changes and runs as you originally wrote it. So, when I go into IDLE and run it with my changes, I always get the following: Thank you so much for looking at this!

I am very new to Python (and coding), and I cannot manage to get any of the codes on this page to work. All but one ends in errors, and the one that doesn't, posted by Jake Skinner on May 10, 2011, seems to freeze or something. I can't tell if it is actually doing anything, so I exit out. I tried Nicholas Peihl's Map Index found here: npeihl / MapIndexTool / wiki / Home — Bitbucket . It has so much potential of being the perfect tool for what I need, but it only works on the biggest map extent in each MXD, and unfortunately, my series of maps and data frame in question is not the biggest map on the layout (think of it as an insert). I tried changing it to a for loop instead of an if else, but upon running it tells me it is formatted incorrectly, and I can't find the problem. Same problem if I change it to look for a specific data frame name. If I could get it to work, I would add another field where it includes the Data Frame name. Can somebody help me?
