I'm comparing the Draw Widget in Experience Builder to WebApp Builder and was wondering.... 1.  In WebApp Builder you can control the order of measurement formats in your list and whatever is at the top of your list is the default measurement once you turn on Show measurement.  In Experience Builder, it doesn't seem you have control of the order of the formats and by default nothing is selected.  This causes another step for the end user.  Is there anything on the roadmap for this option? 2. I had someone ask if there is way in the Draw Widget where the toggle for show measurement is by default already on.  I don't see that as option in the default setup. If I used the Developer Edition of Experience Builder would it be possible to do any of the above items without a bunch of coding? ... View more

I need to take a folder that contains multiple shapefiles and then zip them all into their own individual zip file.  I found this script on a REALLY old post and it does what I'm looking for.  However, I'm running into one issue.  Before the zip section of the script, the python steps through several other steps of the shapefiles being exported to this location with certain criteria.  So what happens is I get the shapefiles, but each shapefile contains a lock file.  When the script starts for the zip, it starts to execute from top to bottom in the folder, but once it hits the first lock file it then fails.  I have this in Notebook in a Pro Project.  Once I close the Pro Project the lock files disappear, but as soon as I reopen the Pro Project the lock is reapplied because even though I don't have a map open, when I run my export features script it automatically adds it to the default map so it places a lock on it.  Is there a way to make the below zip script ignore any lock files or release all shapefile lock files in a folder? import arcpy, os from os import path as p import zipfile arcpy.overwriteOutput = True def ZipShapes(path, out_path): arcpy.env.workspace = path shapes = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses() # iterate through list of shapefiles for shape in shapes: name = p.splitext(shape)[0] print (name) zip_path = p.join(out_path, name + '.zip') zip = zipfile.ZipFile(zip_path, 'w', compression=zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED) zip.write(p.join(path,shape), shape) for f in arcpy.ListFiles('%s*' %name): if not f.endswith('.shp'): zip.write(p.join(path,f), f) print ("All files written to %s" %zip_path) zip.close() if __name__ == '__main__': path = r"Z:\General\Projects\Engineering\SubSurface Mapping\DataExport\Updates" outpath = r"Z:\General\Projects\Engineering\SubSurface Mapping\DataExport\Updates\ZipFiles" ZipShapes(path, outpath)   ...

I'm new to Python and I'm trying to do a Export Features tool  with the Field mapping only bringing over a handful of the fields.  I have ran the tool and then copied the python code into a Notebook and it works.  However I was trying to use variables of the location of the input and output database.  With the variables the export works with the input and output features, but the field mapping doesn't and it exports ALL the fields.  Is there a way when using variables it only exports only the fields I want it to export. Below are some screenshots that I have come up with. Variables: Attempt at Export Features with Variables.  I tired the wODB with and without the brackets and neither worked. Working script when not using any variables.   ... View more
