Definition query/Select Layer By Location

TonyAlmeida — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 20:09:30 GMT

I have over 2k parcels i need to create mail listings for. I have created a tool script that works great for individual listings or multiple parcels but i have to type each one in so that tool script won't work. . I have the list of parcels in a .dbf. how can use python to link all these parcels to a script, is that even possible?

Thanks.

Can you provide a little more description of the workflow of your project? Do you want to select a group of parcels by location and link them to a table of owner information? What do you type into your tool for individual and multiple listings?

I need to notify all the owners within 600 ft of about 500 properties individually to 2k. I want to be able to some how make these listings with out having to type/sarch each of the those 500 individually.

The tool has a arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0), the script takes that number and selects layer by attributes then selects layer by location with the search distance, then exports the selected feature layers attributes to a .xls. I currently use this to do a simple listing but i am trying to avoid having to type all 500 in.

thanks.

have you geocoded the addresses? assuming you have them, then that would become your 'point' file

This may be helpful as an example. It solves a problem that sounds a little like yours. It finds address for sending out notifications to property owners of upcoming tree trimming around power lines. It takes a sub network in a power distribution system identified by a feeder ID. Buffers it to 20 feet finds all of the parcels that the buffer hits. Then gets the owner address from a point feature class and a join. It also dumps out a bunch of feature classes to a FGDB for the mapping folks. So, they can quickly makeup maps for target ares.

You can see a select by location used in the select_append_by_buffer function....

Re: Definition query/Select Layer By Location

I am making an assumption that the 500 parcels are in some kind of a list. I think that you should be able to loop through your list (or a file containing the list) and call your tool. I haven't done any testing, but the idea would be something like:

import arcpy

# Load the toolbox and get the tool's parameters, using the tool
#  name ( ie. "myToolbox" - not the tool label "My Toolbox" )
arcpy.ImportToolbox(r"C:\Projects\MyToolbox.tbx", "myToolbox")

# read your list file

for item in listFile:

    arcpy.NameOfTool_myToolbox(item) # your tool's parameters‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

As an alternative, you might be able to adapt your script tool to use a list file as an input parameter instead of a manual entry. I suppose you could get a lot of duplicate parcels when you work your way through the list. If so, you could add a flag field to your parcel layer and select all parcels within your buffer distance of the flagged parcels.

ok, i like the idea of passing the excel list as an input parameter. How would i pass the list as a Parameter to the script?

import arcpy, string

# Allow processes to overwrite exisiting data
arcpy.OverwriteOutput = True

#Script arguments
TAX = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
if TAX == '#' or not TAX:
    TAX = "C:/Temp/TaxParcels" # provide a default value if unspecified

values = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)
#if SELECT_BY == '#' or not SELECT_BY:
    #SELECT_BY = "\"PIN\" = 'PIN0392800000'" # provide a default value if unspecified

fieldName = "PIN"
values = values.split(";")  # split values into list
values = ["'{0}'".format(v) for v in values] # add single quotes
whereClause = "{0} IN ({1})".format(fieldName, ",".join(values))

Search_Distance = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2)
if Search_Distance == '#' or not Search_Distance:
    Search_Distance = "300 Feet" # provide a default value if unspecified

Listing_xls = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(3)
if Listing_xls == '#' or not Listing_xls:
    Listing_xls = "C:\Temp\Listing.xls" # provide a default value if unspecified

# Local variables:
tax_Layer = "tax_Layer"
tax_Layer__2_ = "tax_Layer"
TaxParcels = "C:/Temp/TaxParcels" 
tax2_Layer = "tax2_Layer"
tax2_Layer__2_ = "tax2_Layer"

# Process: Make Feature Layer
arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(TAX, tax_Layer)

# Process: Make Feature Layer (2)
arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(TaxParcels, tax2_Layer)

# Process: Select Layer By Attribute
arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management(tax2_Layer, "NEW_SELECTION", whereClause)

# Process: Select Layer By Location
arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management(tax_Layer, "WITHIN_A_DISTANCE", tax2_Layer__2_, Search_Distance, "NEW_SELECTION")

Re: Definition query/Select Layer By Location

RandyBurton — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 10:45:51 GMT

Here's an example of passing the list in an Excel workbook:

import arcpy, xlrd

fileName = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) # Input, Data Type 'File', File Filter 'xls; xlsx'

arcpy.AddMessage("File Name: {}".format(fileName))

# open workbook
xls = xlrd.open_workbook(fileName)
# get the first worksheet - see xlrd docs for opening .sheet_by_name('name')
sheet = xls.sheet_by_index(0)
num_rows = sheet.nrows - 1
curr_row = 0 # we will skip row 0, assuming that it is a header
while curr_row < num_rows:
    curr_row += 1 # advance to next row
    pin = sheet.row_values(curr_row)[0] # read first column
    arcpy.AddMessage("Processing: {}".format(pin))

    # do stuff with pin‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
