I would not use that tool, that's for creating a spatial reference which you would then assign to a dataset. If the tessellation tool is complaining about a lack of a coordinate system it would strongly suggest to me that your input dataset does not have a coordinate system. You don't say what the input layer is, how it was created and although you claim to say it is projected you never state what it is!  If you go to the properties  of the layer (from contents panel) and look under sources what does the spatial reference say? If it says unknown then the dataset is missing specific information and that's something that can happen with shapefiles (which by the way are a very old data format, use file geodatabase). If you know for a fact that it should be in coordinates "XYZ" then you can use the Define Projection tool to set it to "XYZ". This tool is simply adding the information it is not actually doing a projection of the data. ... View more

You don't say anything about how your data is stored and where? Is your data local, network or a service being throttled over the internet? Is your data a file geodatabase or shapefiles or some transfer format like geojson? If a shapefile you need to add a spatial index, but best performance is always a local file geodatabase. ...

OK try creating the field but not calling it length as that is a database reserved word, try something like len_m, see if that works? ... View more

Just a side note, the version of Python has been upgraded to 3.11 with ArcPro 3.3. and if as Dan hints there has been little maintenance in that module you may find it won't even work? ... View more

You can export metadata, but it will be to XML format. You access the export tool from Catalog View > Manage tab.   You can then open the XML directly in Excel, but not sure what value that is as you take what is inherently displayed as a document and force it into a tabular view? ... View more

You don't actually show how you have run the tool and what its parameters are, suggest you edit your question to include a screen shot of the calculate tool as it's impossible for anyone to answer this question. ... View more

This is good news indeed, looking forward to placing break points in my code during debugging!  I hope the solution covers the scenario of the code embedded within an atbx as that is how I tend to code. ... View more

Firstly when posting code please use the syntax button "</>" accessible via the 3 dots button to make your code clearer. No one should be struggling to read your poorly formatted code. You can always go back an improve your question via the edit post button. Your code is flawed, a cursor returns a ROW object and the select layer by location tool takes a Feature Layer as its third parameter, you need to be reading the help file parameter section of a tool to understand what its required inputs are. A great thing about the help file, is the help it gives! Keep scrolling down the page and you will always see a code sample section, study that. So as your cursor is churning out rows and not layers a better solution is what @DavidSolari  suggests, do a spatial join and search over that. If you write the output of the spatial join to memory workspace you don't have to worry about cleaning up after yourself. ... View more

If you are talking about the popup that occurs when the script tool is running as a tool, rather than me setting properties of parameters as shown in my first question, then yes the blue circle icon appears but nothing shows in the popup. Normally I set the text for those via the Edit metadata > Syntax >Dialog explanation. What I show in my original question appears to do absolutely nothing, I wonder if it is functionality that they intend to implement in a future version of ArcPro? ... View more

To compliment @Bud 's idea. If a network is in a FeatureDataset and you have a BASIC license level I think you can't modify the schema. So first thing I do is drag the Feature Class out of the FeatureDataset or sometimes copy it. I have to save I rarely do this, so I'm currently happy with doing it manually, but @Bud's idea has merit if there is a need to automate things. I guess the challenge is what is lost when you move it out of a Feature Dataset. ... View more

@Bud , sometime when a help page falls short on what it is explaining I have contacted ESRI, I assume their documentation team, through the link which I believe is at the bottom of every help page. Just letting you and anyone else who reads this idea know that there is this method to contact ESRI on a specific page.   ... View more
