I have scrip that does a multiple ring buffer and it takes 2-3 minutes to run but i use the Buffer wizard in Arcmap it takes maybe a second. Is there a different better/faster way of doing a multiple ring buffer? There isn't much to the the arcpy multiple ring buffer. arcpy.MultipleRingBuffer_analysis(SP, "1_2",[1,2],"Miles","ToBufDist","ALL" ) ... View more

I am trying to strip "$" from attributes in the Name field or all the fields in a feature class table prior to exporting out the table. Could you strip the "$" from attributes in the Name field or all the fields in arcpy.MakeQueryTable_management prior to exporting if so how? I am not sure which would be the fastest? I have the following but i am getting an error on line 8. Error: line 8, in <module>     r.OwnerName = s.strip("$") AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'strip' import arcpy fc = "C:/Temp/Default.gdb/yogurt" rows = arcpy.UpdateCursor(fc)  for r in rows:    s = r.Name    r.Name = s.strip("$")     rows.updateRow(r) Thanks. ...

I have a two polygon feature classes, I need feature class 1 to align exactly and snap to feature class 2. I can use the align to shape tool or the reshape tool but it seems as it doesn't always work correctly and i don't wan to pan,zoom and move every single node. Is there a geoprocessing tool that move feature class 1 to align and snap to feature class 2. If nodes need to be added to the align them that is fine, i would prefer that nodes be added to make sure it is align as perfect as possible. Thanks. ... View more

My fellow mappers split taxparcel and part of the splitting process they have to include a pdf or jpg of the split with the new split/adjusted parcel, example attached (Split(2).png) . I am trying automate the process to make it easier for them as it currently take multiple steps to create this split print out. They currently have driven data pages set up but they don't need the layout of the driven pages they need just a basic exported map like the one i have attached with a few items, like the north arrow and scale bar and possibly initials of the mapper , as example attached (Split(2).png) . I have currently looked through arcpy.mapping.ListLayoutElements but i am not sure if arcpy can create new features like the north arrow, scale bar and text. If so how? The current code creates a pdf of the selected parcel. I noticed that if i add "df" to the {data_frame} in arcpy.mapping. ListLayoutElem ents it exports the like the following attached Split_df.png. If a file, export map and chose pdf, it looks alot better then using arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF, why is this? if i removed the "df". it will defult to PAGE_LAYOUT. code import arcpy, os import arcpy.mapping from arcpy import env # Set workspace arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/Temp" arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = 'True' env.qualifiedFieldNames = False directory="C:/Temp/Split.pdf" if os.path.exists(directory):     try:         os.remove(directory)     except:         print "Exception: ",str(sys.exc_info()) else:     print 'File not found at ',directory #deletes the geodatabase prior if it exists try:     if arcpy.Exists("C:/temp/NewFeatures.shp"):         arcpy.Delete_management("C:/temp/NewFeatures.shp") except:     pass    mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("current") df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "Layers")[0] lyr = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "DSD.DBO.TaxParcels")[0] if int(arcpy.GetCount_management("TaxParcels").getOutput(0)) > 0:        arcpy.FeatureClassToFeatureClass_conversion("TaxParcels", "C:/temp", "NewFeatures.shp") #Adding Labels layer = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "NewFeatures")[0] if layer.supports("LABELCLASSES"):     for lblclass in layer.labelClasses:         lblclass.className = "DXF_TEXT"         lblclass.expression = '"%s" & [DXF_TEXT] & VBNewLine & "AC" & " " & Round([ACRES],2)& "%s"' % ("<BOL><CLR red='140'><FNT size='12'>" , "</FNT></CLR></BOL>") #WORKS!     lblclass.showClassLabels = True layer.showLabels = True df.extent = lyr.getSelectedExtent() df.scale = 10000 arcpy.RefreshActiveView() arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF(mxd,"C:/Temp/Split.pdf",df) ...
