Hi folks,
I have a shapefile whose ID and FID numbers are all messed up in the attribute table and I'm looking for code I can type into my "Field Calculator" window that will fill in unique values for each polygon.
Any samples anyone?!!?! 🙂
Thanks

Here's what I've tried so far:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]27562[/ATTACH]

The complete code is:

rec=0
def autoIncrement():
global rec
pStart = 1 #adjust start value, if req'd
pInterval = 1 #adjust interval value, if req'd
if (rec == 0):
  rec = pStart
else:
  rec = rec + pInterval
return rec


Anyone see any issues that might be causing this not to work?
The error msg I keep getting is the dreaded 99999 error. :confused:

You just need to make the expression with the parenthesis to execute the function.

autoIncrement()
