How do I move a feature class into a feature dataset using ArcPy? I've tried both arcpy.CopyFeatures_management() and arcpy.Copy_management, which both give me these errors: ExecuteError: ERROR 000725: Output Feature Class: Dataset G:\GIS Data\xxxxxx\..._20180209 already exists.  ‍‍‍ In this case, an empty feature dataset is created to store these feature classes. I just want to be able to move them into the datasets. I also just tried arcpy.FeatureClassToFeatureClass_conversion() with no success: ExecuteError: ERROR 999999: Error executing function. Failed to execute (FeatureClassToFeatureClass). ‍ ... View more

For example, I have a custom tool "wellTabletoFC". When I pull up the Item Description, it gives me a syntax as if it can be used within the console: wellTabletoFC(Input_Table)‍ When I drag the script into the Python window, I get this code: >>> arcpy.wellTabletoFC() Runtime error Traceback (most recent call last):   File "<string>", line 1, in <module> AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'wellTabletoFC'‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ How do I use my own tools in the same way as ArcGIS tools within ArcPy, for example: arcpy.Project_management(     in_dataset,     out_dataset,     out_coor_system,     transform_method,     {in_coor_system},     {preserve_shape},     {max_deviation},     {vertical}     ) ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ I want to do this for 2 reasons: Run the tool within the Python console, while being able to return the tool output into a variable, Chain multiple custom tools together that are maintained separately, into a single workflow ...

I'm trying to use the arcpy module in functions that are within custom Python modules that I've created, but I keep getting this error: NameError: global name 'arcpy' is not defined How do I fix this? These modules will be used within ArcGIS, where ArcPy is already loaded. I've tried with and without "import arcpy". Example: import arcpy def refresher():     ''' Refreshes map and TOC '''     arcpy.RefreshActiveView()     arcpy.RefreshTOC()     return 'Refreshed map and TOC.'‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ... View more

I am trying to change field name, type, length, and precision during an import of multiple shapefiles, but unlike the "Feature Class to Feature Class" tool, there is no field mapping section for the "Feature Class to Geodatabase (multiple)" tool. Is there a way to do this using python? ... View more
