I am aware this problem has been addressed elsewhere and the consensus seems to be that arcpy.da.editor should be used to combat this problem. My problem is I only have access to ArcGIS 10.0 and so don't have access to arcpy.da.editor. Is there an equivalent workaround using 10.0? and how should it be implemented?</P><P></P><P>I should mention that running my script outside of the SDE editing session seems to bypass this problem. My script does what its supposed to do and I haven't, as yet, come across the above error. Can anyone confirm that this is the right thing to do regarding this problem? Or am I yet to run into the aforementioned error?</P><P></P><P>All help is appreciated</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 08 Jun 2015 16:38:07 GMT ChristopherEarley 2015-06-08T16:38:07Z Drawing error when running python script tool in SDE https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/drawing-error-when-running-python-script-tool-in/m-p/538229#M42094 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I have recently developed a python script tool which creates a unique ID and fills in a few fields in response to user input.
