Ah, did not know that, thanks.  Now I'm getting an error in the python window: So...where (and how) should I define WTF_toolbar? ... View more

just tried the extension to disable the toolbar in layout view, and that doesn't work either.

yeah, I posted this on stack overflow as well. disabling the toolbar in layout view is plan b, but that seems like it should be unnecessary...after all, you can add data with the 'Add Data' button while in layout view, so why wouldn't a custom toolbar with the same functionality work?  seems like an oversight on ESRI's part. ...

I also tried this, but it doesn't work either: import arcpy import pythonaddins class ButtonClass1(object):     """Implementation for TEST_addin.button (Button)"""     def __init__(self):         self.enabled = True ##        self.checked = False         self.mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument('current')     def onClick(self):         layer = r'G:\Gis\DATEN\wvdat\Querbauwerke\Fischaufstieg.lyr'         activeDataFrame = self.mxd.activeView         df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(self.mxd, activeDataFrame)[0]         if activeDataFrame == 'PAGE_LAYOUT':             if arcpy.Exists(layer):                 layerToAdd = arcpy.mapping.Layer(layer)                 arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(df, layerToAdd, 'TOP')             else:                 warningButton = pythonaddins.MessageBox("Die Datei ist nicht verfugbar.\nBitte kontaktieren Sie die GIS Abteilung.", "Datei nicht verfugbar", 0)         else:             if arcpy.Exists(layer):                 layerToAdd = arcpy.mapping.Layer(layer)                 arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(df, layerToAdd, 'TOP')             else:                 warningButton = pythonaddins.MessageBox("Die Datei ist nicht verfugbar.\nBitte kontaktieren Sie die GIS Abteilung.", "Datei nicht verfugbar", 0)         pass ...

Hi Marco, Sorry for the late answer, here's what I ended up with that works, hope it's helpful -- does a bit of logging for you too: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import os from os import path import arcpy from arcpy import env from sets import Set import time, datetime from datetime import date arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True newProjection = arcpy.SpatialReference(25832) # wkid for 'ETRS_1989_UTM_Zone_32N' # ################### # #      FUNCTIONS      # # ################### # def recursiveDatasets(workspace):     """     Function iterates through a workspace and its subfolders using arcpy.da.walk and returns     a list of spatial reference objects of all geographic datasets (including those inside     geodatabases).  Parameter: target workspace     """     paths = []     uniquePaths = []     for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in arcpy.da.Walk(workspace):         for filename in filenames:             desc = arcpy.Describe(os.path.join(dirpath, filename))             if hasattr(desc, 'path'):                 descPth = arcpy.Describe(desc.path)             if hasattr(descPth, 'dataType'):                 # return list of FD paths and FC paths not in FD's                 if descPth.dataType == 'FeatureDataset':                     paths.append(dirpath)                 elif desc.datasetType == 'FeatureClass':                     paths.append(os.path.join(dirpath, filename))     # make list without duplicates     uniquePaths = list(set(paths))     return uniquePaths def defineProjection(workspace, toRedefine):     """ Function redefines datasets in a given projection in a geodatabase.  Parameters: workspace, projection to consider     """     paths = recursiveDatasets(workspace)     for path in paths:         # create a description object for every dataset (incl. tables, relationship classes) not residing in FD         desc = arcpy.Describe(path)         if desc.spatialReference.Name == toRedefine:             arcpy.management.DefineProjection(desc.Name, newProjection)             print desc.Name + ' wurde neu definiert.'         else:             print desc.Name + ' wurde nicht neu definiert.' def Logging(myLog, writeFormat, runDate, headers, list1, list2, colWdth):     """ Function will generates a log file composed of two columns (list1 and list2) with defined         headers and date of execution.

Hi Joshua, yeah, that's exactly what I was looking for, I was missing the [1] in there.  Thanks! ... View more

Hi Mitch, thanks for the quick feedback.  When I run that I get an error: 'row' is not defined.  ... View more

So I have a workable sollution to this based on everyone's feedback (see code below).  The only nagging issue is that when I run recursiveDatasets in main() after redefining all feature classes and datasets, when I print spatialReference.name, it's still printing the old spatial reference  I checked the SR in ArcCatalog for each FC and FD, and they have indeed been redefined: So why is it still printing the old SR?  Is that output being drawn from a different parameter than that being displayed in the XY Coordinate System tab?  I have also tried refreshing the geodatabase following the redefinition, but that makes no difference. Code: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import os from os import path import arcpy from arcpy import env from sets import Set import time, datetime from datetime import date arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True def recursiveDatasets(workspace):     """ Function iterates through a file geodatabase using arcpy.da.walk and returns a tuple         containing three lists: 1) uniqueFD, containing paths to each feature dataset in the geodatabase;         2) miscDatasets, containing all feature classes in a geodatabase not inside a feature dataset;         3) descriptions, containing description objects for every feature class and feature dataset in         the target geodatabase.  Parameter: Workspace     """     miscDatasets = []     featureDatasets = []     descriptions = []     for dirpath, path, filenames in arcpy.da.Walk(workspace):         for filename in filenames:             desc = arcpy.Describe(os.path.join(dirpath, filename))             if hasattr(desc, 'path'):                 descPth = arcpy.Describe(desc.path)                 descriptions.append(desc)             if hasattr(descPth, 'dataType'):                 if descPth.dataType == 'FeatureDataset':                     featureDatasets.append(dirpath)                 else:                     miscDatasets.append(os.path.join(dirpath, filename))     uniqueFD = list(set(featureDatasets))     return uniqueFD, miscDatasets, descriptions def defineProjection(workspace):     """ Function redefines the existing projection for feature datasets and feature classes not residing in feature         datasets in a geodatabase.  Parameter: workspace     """     uniqueFD, miscDatasets, descriptions = recursiveDatasets(workspace)     for FC in miscDatasets:         desc = arcpy.Describe(FC)         if desc.datasetType == 'FeatureClass':             arcpy.DefineProjection_management(FC, newProjection)     for FD in uniqueFD:         arcpy.DefineProjection_management(FD, newProjection) def main():     workspace = arcpy.env.workspace = os.path.join(r'C:\Scripts\Redefine Projection\MyGeodatabase.gdb')     newProjection = arcpy.SpatialReference(25832) # wkid for 'ETRS_1989_UTM_Zone_32N'     defineProjection(workspace)     uniqueFD, miscDatasets, newDescriptions = recursiveDatasets(workspace)     FCs = []     newSRs = []     for dataset in newDescriptions:         if dataset.datasetType == 'FeatureClass':             FCs.append(os.path.join(dataset.Path, dataset.Name))             newSRs.append(dataset.spatialReference.name)     print newSRs if __name__ == '__main__':     main() ...

Sorry for the delay, I was just now able to try Neil's sollution. According to the Help: All feature classes in a geodatabase feature dataset will be in the same coordinate system. The coordinate system for a geodatabase dataset should be determined when it is created. Once it contains feature classes, its coordinate system cannot be changed. This is not the case, however -- a feature dataset can indeed be redefined if it already contains feature classes (which will also be redefined along with the FD).  The redefine tool simply generates a warning, but it still works.  ESRI needs to update their help. ...

So basically to get this to work, I used a couple of lines from Freddie's code -- my code now looks like this: workspace = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "MyGeodatabase.gdb") for k, v in FCFDdict.items():         try:             arcpy.conversion.FeatureClassToFeatureClass(k, v, os.path.basename(k) + "_trillium")         except arcpy.ExecuteError as e:             print(e.message) ...

Hi Freddie, Thanks so much for for your detailed and lengthy response, I realized that naming problem as I was playing with this.  I guess once the FC's are done transferring I'll have to first delete the old origin FD's and then rename the new FC's...annoying, but I guess that's the clearest path. ...

From what I can tell from the help, you're right -- it looks like the in and out just require names, while the only parameter requiring a path is the destination. Also looks like there should be forward slashes in the destination path. I'm trying to export each Feature Class designated by the key to the Feature Dataset designated by the value.  Right now I've got: for key, value in FCFDdict.iteritems():         destination = env.workspace = str(value.replace('\\', '/'))         print 'destination: ' + destination         inFC = str(os.path.basename(key))         print 'inFC: ' + inFC         inFCpath = str(key)         print 'inFCpath: ' + inFCpath         outFC = inFC         print 'outFC: ' + outFC ##        arcpy.FeatureClassToFeatureClass_conversion(inFC, destination, outFC) which gives me: inFCpath is not being used, it's just for my reference to make sure it's correct.  Nevertheless, when I uncomment the last line, I'm still getting: ...
