I created a loop to zoom to every shape in a shapefile and export that particular extent. The only problem is that the jpeg is given the number of the row as name. I want to give it the name of a field in de dbf. Does anybody have an idea how to do that?
This is done the same way you accessed the shape field:
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy import mapping
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"C:\gisbestanden\pythontest\test13.mxd")
df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd)[0]
fc = r"Z:\kaarten\COROP\coropmultipart.shp"
count = str(arcpy.GetCount_management(fc))
x = 0
while x < int(count) + 1:
rows = arcpy.SearchCursor(fc, "fid = " + str(x))
for row in rows:
xmin = row.shape.extent.XMin
ymin = row.shape.extent.YMin
xmax = row.shape.extent.XMax
ymax = row.shape.extent.YMax
# get the field contents to name the file
filename = row.getValue("NAMEFIELD") # or: row.NAMEFIELD
df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd)[0]
newExtent = df.extent
newExtent.XMin, newExtent.YMin = xmin, ymin
newExtent.XMax, newExtent.YMax = xmax, ymax
df.extent = newExtent
# use the field contents in the filename
mapping.ExportToJPEG(mxd,
r"C:\gisbestanden\pythontest\gemeentekaart\JPEG_{0}.jpg".format(filename))
print "successfully printed JPG"
x += 1
