Sorry for misunderstanding. I think there's a toggle button to switch from interactive to manual entry. I'll have a check ... View more

As long as the second table doesn't have repeats of a deed in more than one entry it will be pretty easy with an update cursor. I'd probably just add a new column on the first table which the cursor would then add the matching oid of the second table to base the join on. I can write the script up if this is what you need? ...

if it's a wms basemap, they can export at different scales from what you see on the layout, sometimes not at all, maybe its that. I've not seen any great ways around it other than using a raster, I guess you could try to match the cached scales to see if it then displays. ... View more

Create or ensure you have a dataset of corner features (points/short lines etc). Run a Spatial Join with a Count merge rule to find the number of incidents within a specified radius from the corner. ... View more

I might be misunderstanding, your question isn't clear, but the 'where' is a sql statement which is only specified once. the rest is accomplished with and/or statements. ... View more

could you just turn those field strings into coded values of 0 to 999 for example, then concatenate them well drained = 002 A = 104 Bare Land = 065 Forest = 908 field 5 = 002104065908 well drained = 002 A = 104 Bare Land = 065 Recreation = 002 field 5 = 002104065002 ... View more

Maybe because your outFocalStat is a raster object rather than a path. also you a using arcpy.sa explicitly so theres no need for from arcpy.sa import * one last guess might be not having arcpy.CheckOutExtension("Spatial") ... View more

Curtis, how is this implemented? Would be useful to expand my learning into C++ if this is the case. Cheers ... View more

The latitude 'distortions' are really just a product of overlaying a geographic coordinate system grid onto a projected coordinate system.  Any attempt to 'straighten out' the latitude bands will distort the data accordingly. I'd be tempted to educate the customer, and perhaps use an MGRS grid system instead. ... View more

omg I just need to reset the cursor at the end of the for loop within the cursor! and yes I wasn't using defaultdict.. You've added a lot to my knowledge here Joshua, much appreciated. ... View more

I was initially having the for loop within the cursor, but moved it out as it wasn't working as expected. Now you've explained why, this is very helpful and will save a lot of time on big processes. Big fan of that dictionary creation **steals code**.  Could you finally show how to reset the cursor if looping through a list like I was inefficiently doing? Big Thanks. edit - I've tried to replicate the dictionary += value, but it has a key error (ie if the key doesn't exist the value is not == '') ... View more

this will give a dictionary of your values import arcpy feature_class = r'filepath' fields =['Street Name', 'PageName'] #the gap in Street Name gives me anxiety street_name_list = [] with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(feature_class, fields) as cursor: for row in cursor: if row[0] not in street_name_list: street_name_list.append(row[0]) street_page_name_dict = {} for street_name in street_name_list: page_name_list = [] with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(feature_class, fields) as cursor: for row in cursor: if row[0] == street_name and row[1] not in page_name_list: page_name_list.append(row[1]) street_page_name_dict[street_name] = page_name_list print(street_page_name_dict) ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...
