I suggest you run the tool and then right-click the result to get a Python snippet to see the syntax, the replicate for each field change you require in a script.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>You need to set up a ; delimited string containing four space separated values. (Who thought that was a good idea? What about a nested Python list??)</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>eg "From_name To_name Hidden_Flag Ratio;From_name To_name Hidden_Flag Ratio;...."</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 06 Oct 2011 09:24:43 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/renaming-aliasname/m-p/545468#M42543 KimOllivier 2011-10-06T09:24:43Z
