Python script tool - Select Fields

AdrianHughes — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 08:48:01 GMT

I'm developing a python script tool that converts values in an attribute table to raster

I want the user to be able to select a feature class then then cherry pick which fields they want to convert. I know this field selection is possible as I have seen it in Arctoolbox tools but I need to know how to implement it in my onw python script tool.

An example of what I'm after is provided by the Dissolve tool in data managment

I'm using 9.3

When you create the script tool, set your field parameter "Obtained From" property to the feature class. See the section on "Obtained From" in http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.3/index.cfm?TopicName=Setting_script_tool_parameters
