Thanks Bruce Bacia, you have really improved my python script writing skills. Can you help me with this please; i want to generate a pdf output by using the arcpy.exporttopdf function, i want the final output to use this nomenclature for naming the pdf output (plot_no.pdf); the plot_no would be derived from an attribute value under the field named plot_no in the attribute table. Please do you have any suggestions. Thanks ... View more

Im trying to automatically get the system time and date updated with the update cursor script, this is my script and the error myField = "Date_Gener" >>> rows = arcpy.UpdateCursor("Parcels") >>> for row in rows: ...    row.setValue(myField,'Date (  )') ...    rows.updateRow(row) ...    Runtime error Traceback (most recent call last):   File "<string>", line 2, in <module>   File "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\arcpy\arcpy\arcobjects\arcobjects.py", line 1007, in setValue     return convertArcObjectToPythonObject(self._arc_object.SetValue(*gp_fixargs(args))) RuntimeError: ERROR 999999: Error executing function.

Thanks all i got it with all your suggestions, what happened was that i had to start an edit session to be able to see the changes. With this i have some layers from a parcel fabric within my dataframe which makes it difficult for me to use the edit = arcpy.da.Editor(workspace) it throws this error - can not open workspace. Any suggestion would go a long way. Thanks ... View more

Thanks i got a work around for it, all i need now is a custom form to select a particular plot_no from a parcel layer in my data frame and create pdfs using the plot_no from a field called plot_no so that the name of my pdfs changes with different plot_nos. How can i also display a message such as the 1 below without using a script tool, Any suggestions? Thanks # Report a success message   arcpy.AddMessage("All done!") except:   # Report an error messages   arcpy.AddError("Could not complete the selection")   # Report any error messages that the selection tool might have generated   arcpy.AddMessage(arcpy.GetMessages()) ...

Thanks brucejr312 for the python script for clipping the layers data frame extent, i've been trying to use your script under a single button so that all the clipping processes would be done by the click of a botton but i can't get to hardcode the exportLayer = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) as i.e. (datalayer1, datalayer2, datalayer3 etc) instead of using the script as a script tool and i also want the results of the clipping process to be enabled and added to the dataframe by default and i also want the output to be overwritten each time i run the clip.Please can you profer a solution to this. Thanks once again. ... View more

Yes the SQL Statement is valid for selecting records, and i intend to run the script tool in an active view not within a model builder. After the query is completed no record is selected even for the valid SQL Statement. ... View more
