Version 3.x is highly unlikely. Its possible for a move to 2.7.3, but thats not for sure just yet. Thanks for the info, Kevin. ... View more

It is part of the geometry object and is definitely documented. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//018z00000070000000 ... View more

If you want to get as much information as possible about an output or variable you can use the following commands. type(variable) repr(variable) Which shows the value returned by GetCount is an object. >>> result = arcpy.GetCount_management(fc) >>> type(result) <class 'arcpy.arcobjects.arcobjects.Result'> >>> repr(result) "<Result '60'>" Which you must then get the results property from. But we're still not done yet. >>> result = arcpy.GetCount_management(fc).getOutput(0) >>> type(result) <type 'unicode'> >>> repr(result) "u'60'" The getOutput parameter returns a unicode string, not an int. But once we are here it is a simple step to convert it to a numeric value. >>> result = int(arcpy.GetCount_management(fc).getOutput(0)) >>> type(result) <type 'int'> >>> repr(result) '60' Hope that helps. ...

Does the empty table have the fields you are trying to populate? ... View more

Yes you are right of course, I was just speculating on possible scenarios where this wouldn't be a bug/error but it definitely seems like it is. I tested on a sample feature class over 65,535 rows of GUIDs and it is still assigned a type of SmallInteger which has to be a bug no matter what the field holds. Not sure if this helps your situation, but are you aware of the describe properties for GUIDs? desc.globalIDFieldName desc.hasGlobalID ... View more

Yes but the string is registered with the geodatabase, it does not necessarily have to be the value stored in the field. ... View more

Edit: Sorry read GlobalID as OID. I'm not sure exactly how GUIDs work but I'm assuming the actual field value is just a reference to a value stored in the geodatabase, similar to a domain. ... View more

Could you use focal statistics with 5m map units and then just con to your 5m raster? ... View more

This is the behaviour that troubles me because all correspondence between errors and the original script is lost, and that is a bad thing because it's very hard to count lines in your original script editor. Any solutions? Debug in your script editor and not ArcGIS? ... View more

This code works fine for me. import arcpy def main(layer):     spatialdesc = arcpy.Describe(layer)     sr = spatialdesc.SpatialReference     newspatial = sr.Name     arcpy.AddMessage(newspatial) if __name__ == '__main__':     layer = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)     main(layer) The only other issue I can think of it being is something wonky with your 2.7 install and arcpy not playing nicely. ...

How are you passing this parameter to your tool? Object, string, something else? newlayer = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) ... View more

How are you generating the oldspatial variable? Can you print out all the names you are passing to your word writing function in the interpreter before you attempt to call the function? ... View more
