Could you please let me know what messages you get when you wrap your Make Feature Layer line with try-except as follows? try:     arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(Watersheds_from_LiDAR, "watershed_lyr") except:     print arcpy.GetMessages(2)     arcpy.AddMessage(arcpy.GetMessages(2)) ...

After you run Convert Coordinate Notation, use its output as input to Minimum Bounding Geometry (Data Management > Features) with these parameter values: Geometry Type: ENVELOPE Group Option: ALL It will create a rectangle as output. You can then describe the output to get the extent: ext = arcpy.Describe("output_envelope").Extent xmin = ext.XMin ymin = ext.YMin ... ... View more

Hi Luke, I'm not sure whether you can filter a particular type (extension) of files through IGPFileDomain 😞 I'm away this week - hope to give you a definitive answer next week. Meanwhile, you can post your question to ArcGIS > Products > ArcObjects > All Development Languages forum also. Thanks, Nobbir Esri Geoprocessing Team. ... View more

Could you please show the full statement for this line? arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management( ???, ???  ....) Another question, what do you mean by 'point attributes' when you say ".... add the selected point attributes to the PDF.."? Assuming, by "attributes" you mean the point features themselves, I suggest use these steps before exporting to PDF: # assuming you have only one data frame df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd)[0] df.zoomToSelectedFeatures() # clear selection - otherwise, the PDF will contain selection color arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management("state_centroids", "CLEAR_SELECTION") ...

You cannot pop up your own messages/boxes in 10.0 😞 However, you can add the script tool to your toolbar from Customize > Customize Mode ... > Commands tab - see the screenshot below: [ATTACH=CONFIG]14993[/ATTACH] In your script, you can add messages using the arcpy.AddMessage(..) and/or arcpy.AddError(..) calls. ...

Does anyone know why Python would add an underscore to a field name!? Could you please do the 'Add Field' process manually with the tool itself from ArcToolbox and see whether you still get the field name with an underscore? ... View more

Use Python csv module - it will make your life easier - see below 🙂 import csv # Reads a base table and outputs Feature Class and Layer Lists readTable = csv.reader(open("C:/Users/atimpson/Desktop/ScriptTable/BPWorksLayers.csv", "rb") # Read the first line first_line = readTable.next() ## comment out these two lines #headerLine = readTable.readline() #valueList = headerLine.split(",") fcPos = first_line.index("Feature Class") lyrPos = first_line.index("Layers") # Read lines in the file and append to comparison lists baseFeature = [] baseLayer = [] # now read second line and on .. for line in readTable:     # make sure current line has as many items as the first line has     if len(line) >= len(first_line):         baseFeature.append(line[fcPos])         baseLayer.append(line[lyrPos]) ...

Try Calculate Field gp tool. Extract the product ID from map document's name and set it to the ProductID field. Follow this topic if you need help: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/Calculate_Field/00170000004m000000/ ... View more

Modify the last loop as follows: # make a duplicate of the original point list tempPointList = pointList[:] for point1 in pointsList:     # remove the current point from the temp list     tempPointList.remove(point1)     for point2 in tempPointList:                 # point1 and point2 to make a pair         print (point1.X, point2.X) ...

Your output data is: outdata=os.path.normpath(ConversionUtils.gp.GetParameterAsText(1)+path) You are using the same outdata variable in your repeated call to Project tool: ConversionUtils.gp.SetProgressorLabel(ConversionUtils.gp.GetIDMessage(86113) + input)   ConversionUtils.gp.Project_management(input, outdata, sr, transformation) In between, you have commented out this line: outdata = ConversionUtils.GenerateOutputName(input, output_workspace) What GenerateOutputName function does is, checks whether the an output with the same exists and if so, creates a new name by appending an underscore and a number at the end of the name. As you are using the same name, Project tries to overwrite the same output when it runs 2nd time and on. Try setting the overwrite output to True and see whether you get the same error. I guess you'll get only one output. If you don't want to (or having trouble) use the commented out line, my suggestion would be modify your code as follows: index = 1 for input in inputs:     try:         outdata = outdata + "_" + str(index)         .....                ConversionUtils.gp.Project_management(input, outdata, sr, transformation)         ...         ...         index += 1 Remember that instead of using GenerateOutputName, if you go for my suggested code, and you run your code again then the output generated in your first run will be overwritten. ...
