Just as a follow-up if it helps anyone, I restarted my machine and the SRTM hillshade displayed correctly. It was certainly due to some hardware limitation with ongoing processes on my machine... ... View more

Thanks, this is exactly the effect I am trying to do. However, you use ArcGIS Pro (which I don't know) and it looks like the transparency option in the Color Editor is not available to regular ArcGIS licenses! In addition, the dialog box is more like an Adobe Illustrator dialog box and provides much more options...  But I cannot export my raster to Illustrator to apply such a color ramp as the output file is rasterized. ...

Hi, Thanks for these answers. The Input feature class, being either Projected (NAD27 Albers Equal Area Conic) or Unprojected (Geographic) NAD27, gives both the same results in meters. This default unit is determined by the linear units of the Input feature class in this example. If the Input feature class is not projected (just in NAD83), I believe the default is meter, probably linked to the regional setting of the ArcGIS installation and/or Windows installation/machine. I made another test with the Input feature class in Projected (NAD27 / StatePlane_Texas_North_FIPS_4201) and the results were in US feet, just as the linear units. All clear now. ... View more

Thanks It did work! I was not sure about the point "ordering" when converting Points to Line. Also, I made an export to a tab .txt file to avoid Excel (via .dbf). ... View more

Just for a follow-up, I decided to replace white spaces with underscore _ using a little software called Siren to rename files... It does the job for the time being and avoid crashing Python scripts! Though, I'd like to understand where the problem was! Either the dialog box not passing arguments (filenames) properly because of white spaces or anything else... ... View more

Dan, You're right. Attached here is the complete toolbox. The python script should be imported into it. For parameters, the dialog box should speak itself... Thanks ... View more

In this case, how can I use raw formatting in the syntax above with a variable? r"input"? It does not work... What is the correct syntax? Thanks ... View more

That's better! If I put the filename instead of sys.argv[1], it's works. It means the bug comes from the sys.argv[1]... The script cannot deal with the arguments properly! input = "City Points_point.shp" Any guess? ... View more

Dan, I inserted the code for the Rename tool instead of copy tool in my script, as below.

Dan, I understand what you mean... Indeed, the purpose of my script is to replace the white space in shapefiles contained in a workspace: # Import arcpy module import arcpy import os # Split input values using a semicolon. inputs = sys.argv[1] inputlist = inputs.split(";") #Character to be replaced old = sys.argv[2] #New character new = sys.argv[3] outWorkspace = sys.argv[4] try:     # Loop through the list of inputs.     for input in inputlist:         arcpy.AddMessage("Input: "  + input)         newname = input.replace(old, new)         arcpy.AddMessage("Newname: "  + newname)                  #VALIDATE THE NEW FEATURE CLASS NAME FOR THE OUTPUT WORKSPACE         output = outWorkspace + os.sep + newname[newname.rfind(os.sep)+1:]         arcpy.AddMessage("Output: "  + output)                  #MESSAGE         arcpy.AddMessage("Converting " + str(input[input.rfind(os.sep)+1:]) + " to " + str(output[output.rfind(os.sep)+1:]))                    #COPY FEATURES         arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(input,output, "", "0", "0", "0")         arcpy.Delete_management(input)         arcpy.AddMessage(str(input[input.rfind(os.sep)+1:]) + " Deleted")         arcpy.AddMessage("Processed" + "\n")               except:     arcpy.AddMessage(arcpy.GetMessages()) But it crashed when filemanes have white spaces! Any guess? ... View more
