Extracting Coordinate System from CAD File Name

AdOl2 — Mon, 08 Feb 2021 16:51:40 GMT

Having an issue running the following script. It seems to work when I print the values of the functions, but I think? my problem is that I don't know how to assign those functions (or variables in this case) to the geoprocessing tool correctly. Thoughts?

I have ran the CAD drawing manually through Pro 2.5 and it works, so the I don't see an issue being with the data.

Error

Are you looking to build this into a bigger tool (e.g. process more than one dataset)?

The documentation CAD To Geodatabase (Conversion)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation shows that the only argument supplied as a list is the list of CAD files.

Try removing the other lists, like this:

arcpy.conversion.CADToGeodatabase([cad], working, outputname, '1000', coordsysmatch)

Also your feature dataset name is probably invalid as it contains hyphens - JODKH-BNDY-TOPO.

You will probably need to do a .replace("-","_") or similar.

You were correct David. What I thought the [] were used for was incorrect.

Thanks!
