Hi,

I am creating a ArcGIS Desktop Python add-in that has a tool to cut polylines of a layer by drawing lines across, just like the cut polygon tools in editor mode. I am able to cut polylines with my tool and save it but the problem is; I am unable to select properly any polylines of that layer after my cut operation. My add-in code is given below. onLine method of CutTool is called when the mouse button is double-clicked to finish drawing the line on the map.

class CutTool(object):

    """Implementation for PlugIn_addin.tool (Tool)"""

    def __init__(self):

        self.enabled = True

        self.shape = "Line"

    def cut_geometry(self, to_cut, sel_fid_query, cutter):

        """

        Cut a feature by a line, splitting it into its separate geometries.

        :param to_cut: The feature to cut.

        :param sel_fid_query: Selected Query FID to cut.

        :param cutter: The polylines to cut the feature by.

        :return: The feature with the split geometry added to it.

        """

        arcpy.AddField_management(to_cut, "SOURCE_OID", "LONG")

        geometries = None

        polyline = None

        edit = arcpy.da.Editor(os.path.dirname(to_cut))

        # Edit session is started without an undo/redo stack for versioned data (for second argument, use False for unversioned data)

        edit.startEditing(False, True)

        # Start an edit operation

        edit.startOperation()

        insert_cursor = arcpy.da.InsertCursor(to_cut, ["SHAPE@", "SOURCE_OID"])

        with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(to_cut, ["SHAPE@", "OID@", "FID"], sel_fid_query) as polylines:

            for polyline in polylines:

                if cutter.disjoint(polyline[0]) == False:

                    geometries = polyline[0].cut(cutter)

                    polylines.deleteRow()

                if geometries:

                    for geometry in geometries:

                        insert_cursor.insertRow([geometry, polyline[1]])

        # Stop the edit operation.

        edit.stopOperation()

        # Stop the edit session and save the changes

        edit.stopEditing(True)

    def onLine(self, line_geometry):

        mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT")

        df = mxd.activeDataFrame

        layers = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd)

        to_cut = None

        sel_list = None

        query = None

       

        # Find the selected layer and selected polylines of that layer

        for layer in layers:

                desc = arcpy.Describe(layer)

                if desc.shapeType == "Polyline" \

                        and hasattr(desc, 'fidSet') and desc.fidSet:

                    to_cut = layer

                    sel_list = desc.fidSet.split(";")

                    query = 'FID IN ('

                    for sel_id in sel_list:

                        if sel_id != sel_list[0]:

                            query += ","

                        query += sel_id

                    query += ')'

                    break

        if to_cut:

            self.cut_geometry(to_cut.dataSource, query, line_geometry)

        else:

            pythonaddins.MessageBox("There is no selection.", "Cut Polyline Features", 0)

           

        pass

Sounds similar to Limit combobox results to map extent you may need to create a polyline object then use a select by location

Thanks for your reply. Actually, I am using the selection tool SelectionSelectTool16.png of the ArcMap to select lines splitted by my tool. So, selection using the mouse (after selection tool is active) is not working.
