Pardon my newbie-ness with Python. Hope this makes sense. Not sure how to change my post from Discussion to Question.
I have 8 workstations and users running ArcGIS 10.6. I get the error on only 2 workstations, it works well on the other 6, so that is my confusion. The workstations should be set up identically.
After selecting a feature from the "blocks" layer in ArcMap, I run an executable script in the ArcMap Python window that requires parameters for "blockname" and "point density" to scatter random points in polygons at specified density:
import sys
sys.argv = ["path_to_script.py", "NXXWXXX", "####"]
execfile( "path_to_script.py" )
Then, in my main script "path_to_script.py" I set the layername with sys.argv[1] and sys.argv[2]. Processing is done from source data paths for imagery and features, running arcpy scripts. All layer processing is output to a temporary geodatabase workspace, which is removed at the end. I removed the remaining processing arcpy lines following arcpy.AddGeometryAttributes_management for sake of space since this is where it fails. Everything works right up to it.
import arcpy
import tempfile
def main ( ):
blockname = sys.argv[1]
point_density = sys.argv[2]
arcpy.CreateFileGDB_management(tempfile.gettempdir(), blockname + "_" + point_density)
arcpy.CreateFeatureDataset_management(tempfile.gettempdir() + "/" + blockname + "_" + point_density + ".gdb", "dataset1", "WGS 1984 UTM Zone 17N.prj")
arcpy.env.workspace = tempfile.gettempdir() + "/" + blockname + "_" + point_density + ".gdb"
try:
arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management ("blocks", blockname + "_Layer")
arcpy.Clip_management(polygon_features_path, "#", blockname + "_clip", blockname + "_Layer", "#", "ClippingGeometry")
arcpy.Clip_analysis(feature_buffers_path, blockname + "_Layer", blockname + "_buffers")
arcpy.RasterToPolygon_conversion(blockname + "_clip", "dataset1/" + blockname + "_rast2poly", "NO_SIMPLIFY")
qry = '"gridcode" > 35'
flayer = arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management (blockname + "_rast2poly", blockname + "_rast2poly2_Layer")
arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management (flayer, "NEW_SELECTION", qry)
arcpy.CopyFeatures_management (flayer, "dataset1/" + blockname + "_export")
arcpy.Dissolve_management (blockname + "_export", "dataset1/" + blockname + "_dissolve")
arcpy.AddGeometryAttributes_management(blockname + "_dissolve", "AREA", Area_Unit="SQUARE_KILOMETERS")
