For anyone who might be interested in the future the code is not elegant, but it is functional. I also converted a scale bar to a graphic and I'm updating the text elements on that scale bar. def returnScale(dfscale):     scalebar = [2,3,4,5,6,10]     dfscale = dfscale/12     dfscale = str(int(dfscale))     dfscaleLen = len(dfscale)     numcheck = int(dfscale[0])     for each in scalebar:         if numcheck < each:             multi = '1'             while dfscaleLen > 1:                 multi = multi + '0'                 dfscaleLen = dfscaleLen - 1             scalebar = each * int(multi)             dataframescale = scalebar * 12             return scalebar,dataframescale             break         mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT") df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd)[0] scalebar,dataframescale = returnScale(df.scale) scalebarDict = {"scaletextElm1":scalebar,"scaletextElm2":scalebar/2} for elm in arcpy.mapping.ListLayoutElements(mxd, "TEXT_ELEMENT"):     if elm.name in scalebarDict:         elm.text = scalebarDict[elm.name] df.scale = dataframescale arcpy.RefreshActiveView() ...

Jason the script creates 3 files for every year that has features with red. If I remember correctly Y00 and Y01 didn't have any red features to use. I think if you check just those years that begin with clip they may be what you are describing. If that is the case you just need to generate a list and feed it into the merge tool ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2) ... View more
