Yes, in forground. In Visual Studio and C# I have all kinds of progress bars so I want this ArcGIS/Python script to have that kind of bar and as it creates layers and GDBs (Hundreds of them) it has a progress bar that shows up how far it is along. Thanks, I'll study it. Paul ... View more

Thanks. I would have made the sniplet if the license they got for my ArcMap allowed it. And it would have made my life MUCH simpler. I'll now research the Append and get it to work. Thanks. ... View more

Thanks. We need the records that are in them. Paul ... View more

Thanks guys. I got the first part to work perfect (creating features for all 189 of 'em!) using arcpy.CreateFeatureclass_management. Now on FeatureClassToFeatureClass_conversion (copying a template to the newly created feature classes.) My ArcMap shows the template I wish to copy/convert as: c:\output       - maps            - code_mapgrid.mdb               - Mapgrid                      [] Block_template_number      (feature class I wan to copy but rename with such as Block_002_003) Does the arcpy.env.workspace point to the mdb where the class is? How does it know where to find the inFeatures? arcpy.FeatureClassToFeatureClass_conversion(inFeatures, outLocation, outFeatureClass, expression) All want it to do is copy over the blank features (Block_002_003) I made in the new GDB with features in the template mdb  (Block_template_number). Thanks, Paul ... View more

Thanks guys, here is where I'm at. In a created GDB we have four classes already there (in hundreds of these.)   MAPGRID_003_076.gdb        MapGrid                 A_003_076     -  Geodatabase Feature Class                 B_003_076     - Geodatabase Feature Class                 C_003_076     - Geodatabase Feature Class                 D_003_076     - Geodatabase Feature Class And in a template GDB they have the same Classes but three more they want to copy. But these three Feature Classes have some data.   CountyCode_MapGrid-template.gdb     MapGrid       F_mapgrid_number     <--want to copy this Geodatabase Feature Class       A_mapgrid_number       G_mapgrid_number   <--want to copy this Geodatabase Feature Class       B_mapgrid_number       H_mapgrid_number     <--want to copy this Geodatabase Feature Class       C_mapgrid_number       D_mapgrid_number So F, G, and H have to be copied AND renamed so the 'mapgrid_number' = such as '003_076'. I created them using... arcpy.CreateFeatureclass_management(out_path, out_name, geometry_type, template, has_m, has_z, spatial_reference) Which works fine and ArcMap shows it up. But now I need to copy INTO the new created F, G, and H Geodatabase Feature Class from another GDB that already has a F, G, and H Geodatabase Feature Classes that has data they want to show up on ALL of them. Now do I create as I did above and then use arcpy.CopyFeatures_management to overlay the new F, G, and H I already have or is there some way to skip the create and just copy it across. Thanks, Paul ... View more

No. I now see I first run the CreateFeatureclass_management and then MakeFeatureLayer. But it is going to be complicated as I have to find out where the spatial_reference template they want me to use! Sadly they are on vacation.... Thanks anyway. ... View more

Question.. which comes first. the layer or the feature class? Thanks. ... View more

got it. Thanks! ... View more

Thanks but the create feature class has linkrot. At least it cannot find it. How did you find it? Paul ... View more

Didn't know we had a Python in GIS Developers! Thanks, I'll use that for any problems needing Python code. ... View more

Thanks. But can one convert linestring data to shapefile via such as Python or C#? I have such as LINESTRING (1981440.31013335 10450262.42901984 2272, 1981440.31013335 10450262.42901984 2272, 1981443.31013335 10450265.42901984 2273) and I would like to make shapefiles out of the data.
