This is a fairly simple task I believe. I have a script that was written in python. It is stored in a toolbox and works perfectly fine. The issue I'm having at the moment is that when I add the toolbox into ArcMap and run the script I can not drag and drop files into the parameters. It makes me navigate to the file location. I've tried changing the data type in the parameters. I would also like the tool to work with selected features in a feature dataset if possible. What the script does is buffer roads, select parcels within the buffer, export the selected parcels to a new shapefile, and write the attribute values to a ASCII file. Anyone got an idea on this one. I'm assuming it shouldn't be to complex as the tool works perfectly fine when I navigate to the file myself.
