I would also prefer not to hard code the layer path, since I have a shapefile joined with a table in the table of contents and that is the shapefile I want to export, not the original shapefile without join. In ArcObject, we could use pMap.Layer(i) where i (0,1,2,3 etc.) refers to the layers' order in the table of contents. Here's the concept of the code, although I couldn't get it to run. import arcpy arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"C:\temp\test.mxd") # export the second layer in the table of contents for lyr(1) in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd):         arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(lyr(1), r"R:\Corp Data Mgt\SGurung\temp\output") ...

Thanks Jason. I know the output directory won't be created automatically, so I created it before running the script. I'm running the following script on PythonWin. It doesn't give me any error, it just crashes when I run this script. Is this a common problem with PythonWin? It works when I run it from IDLE in ArcGIS. import arcpy arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"C:\temp\test.mxd") for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd):     if lyr.dataSource == r"C:\temp\test.shp":         arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(lyr, r"C:\temp\output")     else:         print lyr.dataSource + "Not exported!" ...

Thanks Jason and Ken, that was a good catch indeed as my tiring eyes missed that colon. It runs well when I run it from Python window in ArcGIS but it crashes when I run it in PythonWin. The only thing I've changed in PythonWin is: #mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT") mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"C:\temp\test.mxd") i.e., instead of referring to CURRENT map document, I've used the path as I need to automate this task. Any suggestions? ... View more

Thanks Ken, I've followed your code but I've been unable to run the code. Here's the code: import arcpy mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"C:\temp\test.mxd") for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd):     if lyr.dataSource == r"C:\temp\test.shp"     arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(lyr, r"C:\temp\output\testout.shp") Any suggestions? ...

Modelbuilder allows to make a list of expression, so I've managed to get many expressions (as parameters) and execute the query accordingly. This works fine. Now I'd like to join each table with a layer (grids1.lyr) that will eventually give me different layers as output, for example, QueryTable A/B/C (join field: X) -  Layer Name: grids1.lyr (join field: X) --> output layers: gridsA, gridsB, gridsC. I believe I have to use "For Iterators" to achieve this but I couldn't get it to work. Can anyone assist me please? Here's the model I created (without the for iterator): [ATTACH=CONFIG]12611[/ATTACH] Thanks, Sarbajit. ... View more
