GTF is a geographic transformation file. It is used to create custom transformations. I'm not sure where Arc pulls the default transformations from in the projection tool. Is this something you want dynamic that can handle any projection or do you have a set number of projections you want this tool to handle? In the later case you can create a Filter value list that has these built in. ... View more

Something like this should work. Should be all you need after your inputs. #Build the where clause whereClause = "{0} in ('{1}')".format(fieldName, "','".join(values.split(';'))) #Select(input, output, whereClause) if int(arcpy.GetCount_management(lyr).getOutput(0)) > 0:     arcpy.Select_analysis(lyr, output, whereClause) ...

If you are only making selections from one field you can make a much easier query using the 'IN' command. Instead of  this query = 'field = x or field = y or field = z' #etc It would be this query = 'field in (x, y, z)' You also don't need to run a separate selection when using the select tool, you can input the where clause directly in the tool. The main issue you are probably having is your values variable is a string and you are trying to add it how generally lists are used. How do you plan on having your users input multiple values? You would need to post a sample of your valid field values and the actual properties of your values parameter to get more help. ... View more

It is because you start your enumerate at 1. for index, value in enumerate(fclist, start=1): This means if len(fclist) == 5 then your index will also be 5 at the last iteration whereas with this if index == len(fclist)-1: You are capturing the second to last iteration. Why is this even necessary? You can put your code outside your loop and carry over the values from the last iteration. ... View more

Your code will generate an error when there is a non-group layer in your data frame, I would check that. Edit: It could also have to do with running it as a model instead of a script. 'If you open the ModelBuilder window and run a model, all processes in the model execute in the foreground. Working in the ModelBuilder window is similar to an edit session. Any processes run do so in the foreground to prevent a situation where changing the workflow could cause undesirable results.'

How do you define your mxd variable? Are you using the 'current' keyword by any chance? Edit: Actually no that shouldn't cause issues how you are executing it. When you get the errors do they come up as soon as you try to execute it or does it process or a bit? Are you sure your layers are all groups and all have sublayers? ... View more

Can you access it directly without using a layer? Try these two. fc = r'C:\Documents and Settings\acsmith\Application Data\ESRI\ArcCatalog\[email protected]\SDE.SDE.cadastre_real_estate\SDE.SDE.parcel_area' print(arcpy.Exists(fc)) print(int(arcpy.GetCount_management(fc).getOutput(0))) Also you may want to investigate FIDSet. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/Layer_properties/018v00000063000000/ ...

Then you don't need to bother with a cursor at all. arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management(CCP, "WITHIN_A_DISTANCE", SP2, "1 MILE", "NEW_SELECTION") if int(arcpy.GetCount_management(CCP).getOutput(0)) > 0:     arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(CCP, "CUPS") ... View more

Lucas has it right I'd say, I'd maybe do something like this. Essentially the same thing. line = 'AKRON, OH 12345' line_split = line.split(',') final_line = '{0},{1}'.format(line_split[0].title(), line_split[1]) print final_line ... View more
