Hi everyone and thx alot for your time!
Im tring to export to DWG, from a country map, a small square zone with 2 xy corners.
import arcpy
in_features = "%MyFeatures%"
output_type = "DWG_R2004"
output_file = "c:/data/world.dwg"
arcpy.ExportCAD_conversion(in_features, output_type, output_file, "USE_FILENAMES_IN_TABLES", "OVERWRITE_EXISTING_FILES")
Whis this code, im able to export to DWG with no problem but it export the complete country map zone.
How can I export only a small square zone in a 2 xy area?
I tried adding:
arcpy.env.extent = arcpy.Extent(-73.536116, 45.967176 , -73.360613, 45.871700)
but everytime the .dwg is empty.
Can anyone tells me what I did wrong or what I can do to be able to export only a small zone from the country feature.
Thx alot
Have you tried clipping before exporting?
Is it possible to clip with one xy?
You indicated a square-ish zone which you can construct from 2 xy corners
L(eft), B(ottom) = min(x0, x1), min(y0, y1)
R(ight), T(op) = max(x0, x1), max(y0, y1)
point 1 = (x0, y0)
point 2 = (x1, y1)
You can construct the rectangle from the L, B, R, T pairs as needed
I am totaly lost, im reading and reading but still lost... can you give a exemple of code?
Thx you so much!
