I want to create a python script (ArcGIS 10.1) where I loop through a GDB with several feature classes  and select all the fields which are of text type and convert them to float type. I always want to skip the first 10 and last 2 fields of each featureclass as they actually are supposed to be of text type. I am not quite sure how to do so.. I guess FeatureClassToFeatureClass_conversion does the trick but I am a bit lost. This is as far as I got: (I asked the same question on Stackexchange as I need an answer asap: http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/150723/convert-field-types-in-gdb-with-python ) # Import system modules import arcpy from arcpy import env env.overwriteOutput = True # Set environment settings env.workspace = "D:\Test\2011_LongNames.gdb" inFeatures = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses("*") outLocation  = "D:\Test\FLOAT.gdb" outName = ??? same as inFeature field_mapping = ???? part where it converts text fields to float fields listFCs = [f.name for f in arcpy.ListFields(env.workspace)] listFCs = listFCs[10:len(listFCs)-2)] for fc in listFCs:     arcpy.FeatureClassToFeatureClass_conversion(inFeatures, outLocation, outName, field_mapping ) ...

Hi I have many tables which I need to join to a Shapefile. Each table has to be joined to the shapefile seperately and then must be exported into a file GDB. Anyone knows how to do so with python? Is there a way that the code runs automatically through each table in the folder and joins it to the shapefile, exports it as FC in the GDB, gives it the file name of the table, then removes the join and joins the next table to the same shapefile? I work with ArcGIS 10.1 I came across this site ArcGIS Help 10.1 and also ArcGIS Help 10.1  but I have no clue how to get started to be honest.. ... View more

I have an Asian Font ending with a number and a second label which is number only. I label them with the following expression (JScript): [AsianTextNr]  +  "\r\n"  + "("+ [NumberLabel] + ")" It looks like the picture bellow. I set the font size to 16, however the Asian font does not get bigger, anyone is familiar with this problem or knows a way on how to modify the JScript code? (Also suggestions in VBScript and python are welcome) (I work with ArcGIS 10.1) ... View more
