how to add user input of file path in Python Add-in script?

SiyangTeo — Thu, 30 Jul 2015 14:47:31 GMT

I made a simple toolbar of 2 buttons to export the map into JPEG and PDF using Python Add-in wizard.

However, I wanted to improve the script such that when I click the button, it will prompt a window to select the location to place the file, and also input the file name.

Does any know how to do it? The present script is pasted below.

Thanks!

-----------------

import arcpy

import pythonaddins

class export2_jpg(object):

"""Implementation for export2_jpg_addin.button (Button)"""

def __init__(self):

self.enabled = True

self.checked = False

def onClick(self):

mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument('current')

arcpy.mapping.ExportToJPEG(mxd,r'C:\Users\xx\Desktop\output.jpg, resolution=300')

pass

class export2_pdf(object):

"""Implementation for export2_pdf_addin.button (Button)"""

def __init__(self):

self.enabled = True

self.checked = False

def onClick(self):

mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument('current')

arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF(mxd,r'C:\Users\xx\Desktop\output.pdf')

pass

Have a look at pythonaddins.SaveDialog.
