How did you add that tool to the model? Did you drag it out of a toolbox? I cant find any documentation on that tool. If you got it from a toolbox you should be able to right click on the tool and see its help docs. The help doc will have the proper syntax for it in python. The error you are getting is that the tool, as it is in your code, doesnt exist in the arcpy site package. I also see that error quite often when I'm running a 9.x script in 10.x.  Do you have the case (upper/lower) correct? - GetJobAOI_WMX Thanks for your replies. I drag it out of the Workflow Manager Tool toolbox indeed. This helptext is shown after right click: Get Job AOI (Workflow Manager) ArcGIS 10 Summary Gets the job's area of interest layer as a feature layer. This layer can be used to perform other analysis by plugging the output into other geoprocessing tools in a model. Usage The input job id must be for a job that currently exists and has an AOI defined. If an AOI doesn't exist, an empty output will be generated. Syntax GetJobAOI_wmx (Input_JobID, aoi_Layer, {Input_DatabasePath}) Parameter Explanation Data Type Input_JobID The ID for the job's AOI retrieved. String aoi_Layer The layer name for the AOI retrieved. Feature layer Input_DatabasePath (Optional) The Workflow Manager database connection file for the input job. connection file (.jtc) Code Sample Get Job AOI # Import arcpy module import arcpy # Check out any necessary licenses arcpy.CheckOutExtension("JTX") # Script arguments Input_DatabasePath = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) Input_JobID = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1) # Local variables: AOI_Layer = "AOILayer_Job1" # Process: Get Job AOI arcpy.GetJobAOI_WMX(Input_JobID, AOI_Layer, Input_DatabasePath) Environments This tool does not use any geoprocessing environments Licensing Information ArcView: No ArcEditor: Requires Workflow Manager ArcInfo: Requires Workflow Manager It just not runs in a script ... ...

Thanks, that works. I suggest to rename this property to isInsideGroupLayer :confused: Is there a way to findout what the name of the grouplayer is? Greetings, Henk ... View more

Now i see that i made a mistake. I thought i was handling a labelsymbol, but it was a symbol from the classrenderer. The symbol for labeling is a textSymbol and now a can use formattedTextSymbol to access the properties i want. Thanks, Henk ... View more

How are you adding layer names to the ComboBox? are you using recursion to find any nested layers inside a group layer? Or simply looping through the layers in the table of contents? See my code i posted. What exactly are you doing with the layer that the user selects? User selects a layer and hits a startbutton: - Write all the features from selected layer that match the definition query to a scratch database. - Add a topologyclass with some rules. - Validate the topology. - Create 3 new featureclasses containing the geometries of the topology errors. - Add the new featureclasses to the map. Why? Because we are working an a SDE Oracle database that omits some topology rules. We can't change that in a short time because of the changemanagementsystem. Henk ... View more

See...handling same layers name is not an issue...only thing is how user can feel good to use...what he suppose to select if he wants to see the building or something...why he suppose to check all building layers ? It's a very smart user 😉 . He adds two layers with the same name en applies two different definition queries. For the moment its easy to remember which layers and what queries he added while testing his code. When he selects a layer in de combobox the form shows the definition queries he applied and so he knows what layer to select. He selects the second layer and hits the commandbutton to perform an action on that layer. Now he is wondering why the tool is processing the wrong features. It takes 10 seconds to find out what the problem is: the code is using only the name of the layer and finds the first layer. So he thinks of a solution. There must be a another way to identify a layer, but he can't figure it out and goes to this forum to find an answer to his problem. He decides to change the code so that it's checking for duplicate names in the TOC and renames them without asking: Sub getlayers()     Dim pMxDocument As IMxDocument     Dim pMap As IMap     Set pMxDocument = ThisDocument     Set pMap = pMxDocument.FocusMap     Dim Player As ILayer     Dim pEnumLayers As IEnumLayer     Dim pFeatureLayer As IFeatureLayer         Dim pId As New UID     pId = "{E156D7E5-22AF-11D3-9F99-00C04F6BC78E}"         'Find only IGeoFeatureLayers     Set pEnumLayers = pMap.Layers(pId, True)     If pEnumLayers Is Nothing Then Exit Sub     Dim newName As String     Randomize     Set Player = pEnumLayers.Next     Do While Not Player Is Nothing         If Player.Valid Then             Set pFeatureLayer = Player             If nameInList(ComboBoxLayers, pFeatureLayer.name) Then                 newName = pFeatureLayer.name & Int(Rnd * 100)                 MsgBox "Layer " & pFeatureLayer.name & " renamed to " & newName, vbInformation                 pFeatureLayer.name = newName                 pMxDocument.CurrentContentsView.Refresh 1             End If             ComboBoxLayers.AddItem pFeatureLayer.name         End If     Set Player = pEnumLayers.Next     Loop End Sub Function nameInList(ComboBoxIn As ComboBox, name As String) As Boolean     Dim i As Long     For i = 0 To ComboBoxInlistCount - 1         If ComboBoxIn.List(i) = name Then nameInList = True     Next i End Function Now everybody is happy because there are no duplicate names anymore. Thank you all. Henk (Still thinking about implementing Alexander Gray's solution of using a generic list of IFeatureLayers) ... View more

Why don't you make names as by type Commercial building and residential or by size Large Constructions and Small Constructions  something like that ? I know, but it is up to the user of my tool what names he uses. My tool must be able to handle layers with equal names. ... View more
