I am trying to understand between the two Pyscripter and Python Window and how it works together. So for the Pyscripter  you just write to test it and if it works you copy and paste them to the Python Window but  change to the functions or classes to Python window where they understand it and run from Python windows? Or do I just write the code within the Pyscripter and run the code from there and will that change in ArcMap ? Thanks ... View more

Hi Dan, I am starting to work on using Pyscripter and I am learning how to use. Now the thing I have a trouble writing code I am using replaceWorkspace.  That code requires four parameters however when I write the code there is no pull up list to select  and click to choose from. Is something wrong with the Pyscripter  I need to fix the problem ? ... View more

Change of scernico, I am at home and have ArcGIS 10.1 and got to download Pyscripter and did some research on Pyscripter and how it works and so on.  I found really good info about it here : Advanced Geographic Research: Software  This article explains how to set it up and run with Pyscripter. Now I have something in my mind is Can I have ArcMap open while Pyscirpter open at the same time ? ... View more

Earlier I mention that it worked.. That was all about the file geodatabase. Now I have one shapefile in the same mxd that did not  replace to the new workspace. >>> mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT") >>> path = "E:\ned10DEM\Contours" >>> mxd.replaceWorkspaces(r"\E:\FY2011_projects\10mNED\Contours","SHAPEFILE_WORKSPACE", path + r"\","SHAPEFILE_WORKSPACE") I still got an error here : Parsing error SyntaxError: invalid syntax (line 1) ...

Are you saying that when I copy and paste the code into python window in ArcMap  does it give you an errors ? So that means do I have to re-type them ? ... View more

I put that damn r into what you suggest and it worked ... Is the "r" stand for reclusive , correct ? ... View more

Yes, I copied from MS Excel to ArcGIS 10.1 and the chart was able to show but the problem is that when you export the map to PDF . The chart itself doesn't show up.  The labels are there but it is like a ghost. What I did was to find a way around to copy and paste to Paint and then save it to PNG and then you have to insert the PNG to ArcMap.  It looks good to me.  You still can do that with the PowerPoint and save it as TIFF as well but I find that Paint preserved the pixel to show labels sharper. ...
