Consider a Feature Class (part of an Enterprise GDB content) and two of its fields are "UTM_grid" and the "OID". Scripting with python 2.7 for ArcGIS 10.3. "UTM_grid" field was broken down into "UTM_block" + "UTM_sheet" and then using a dictionary and list structure UTM_block-->UTM_sheet-->OID was organized with this syntax: { 'UTM_block_1' : { 'UTM_sheet_A' : [ oid_1 , oid_2 ] }, { UTM_sheet_2 : [ oid_3 , oid_4, oid_5 ] } } We need to create **shapefiles** with features (identified by the object value - oid) based on the follow data structure (OIDs will be organized regarding an UTM/location based structure): - UTM_block_* will be a folder - UTM-sheet_* its subfolder. - List of objects (OIDs) will populate the shapefile. --- Another point we have to deal with is that the shapefile should only have some fields of the original Feature Class: We have used fieldmappings and arcpy.FeatureClassToFeatureClass_conversion() to create a non-UTM-organized shapefile from a Feature Class with the fields that we need. --- Now the problem is how to process the **feature export** to get UTM-organized shapefiles! How can we manage it? Bellow is what we have now inside a function:     with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(feature_class, ['UTM_grid , 'OBJECTID']) as cursor:         dic = dict()         for row in cursor:             UTM_grid_value = row[0]             oid_value = row[1]             try:                 b_s_split = UTM_grid_value.split('_')     # split into block & sheet             except Exception, e:                 pass                 print(UTM_grid_value)                 print(e)             else:                 # create folders & subfolders (blocks & sheets) in a directory                 dic.setdefault( b_s_split[0], {} ).setdefault( b_s_split[1], [] ).append( oid_value )                 dir_path = os.path.dirname("E:\\")     # full path to directory                 dirs = [ [b_s_split[0]] , [b_s_split[1]] ]                               for item in itertools.product(*dirs):                     if not os.path.isdir(os.path.join(dir_path, *item)):                         os.makedirs(os.path.join(dir_path, *item)) ...

Situation: Need to add a Tool to my ModelBuider to Delete only the content from an Enterprise (SDE) Geodatabase (containing features classes, tables, relationship classes). Tool "Delete" (from Toolbox "Data Management") deletes the Geodatabase and only want to delete its content. Any help? ... View more
