Listing Feature Classes Multiple Feature type Using arcpy.ListFeatureClasses

MikeMacRae

Hi everyone

is there a way to use arcpy.ListFeatureClasses() to filter multiple feature types. i.e. Only list the polygon and point feature types in the geaodatabase.
I've tried something like:

arcpy.ListFeatureClasses("*", ["Point", "Polygon"])

but this still returns all feature types (i.e. annotation and line FC's still get returned)

Is this possible?

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for testing Darren. I just discovered a bit of a work-around using the arcpy.Describe() method. Something like:

import arcpy
from arcpy import env

env.workspace = "Z:\GIS\TEMP.gdb

fcList = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses()

for fc in fcList:
   desc = arcpy.Describe(fc)
   if desc.shapeType == "Polygon" or "Point":
       print fc
