You made an interesting comment about just using the polygon feature in the SelectbyLocation rather than creating the in_memory feature class.  This works too and I can take out that extra step of CreateFeatureClass_management and shave processing time right there. Thanks! Still interested in what might be wrong with the SelectbyLocation ... View more

I timed the: arcpy.CreateFeatureclass_management (.02 secs) arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management (2 secs) arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management (30 secs) I'm implementing a class: class Timer:     def __enter__(self):         self.start = time.clock()         return self     def __exit__(self, *args):         self.end = time.clock()         self.interval = self.end - self.start‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Then just messaging the print statement to see results for each arcpy method as such: t1 = Timer() with t1:    fc2 = arcpy.CreateFeatureclass_management('in_memory', 'tmpFC', "POLYGON")    with arcpy.da.InsertCursor(fc2, ['SHAPE@']) as cur:       cur.insertRow([polygon]) msgt1 = "%s...CreateFeatureClass time %.02f seconds" % (bndy,t1.interval)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

File Geodatabase (10.3) On a network share Spatial index applied Registered with ArcGIS Server (10.4) site Polygon: is quite simple maybe 25 vertices, an in_memory feature class that gets created from string input of rings, but clearly the SelectbyLocation is the culprit (timing each component): jsonFrmt = geo_convert(feature_info) jsonData = json.loads(jsonFrmt) inSr = arcpy.SpatialReference(3857) for key,value in jsonData.iteritems():     if value == 'FeatureCollection':         pass     else:         for i in value:             for k,v in i.iteritems():                 if k == 'geometry':                     features = []                     features2 = []                     feature = v['coordinates']                     polygon = arcpy.Polygon(arcpy.Array([arcpy.Point(*coords) for coords in feature]), inSr)                     features.append(polygon)                 else:                     pass fc2 = arcpy.CreateFeatureclass_management('in_memory', 'tmpFC', "POLYGON") with arcpy.da.InsertCursor(fc2, ['SHAPE@']) as cur:     cur.insertRow([polygon]) pnt_fc = r'\\pathtonetworkfolder\myPointFeatureClass' fl = "PointFeatures" arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(pnt_fc, "PointFeatures") arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management(fl, "COMPLETELY_WITHIN", fc2) rowcount = int(arcpy.GetCount_management(fl).getOutput(0)) if rowcount>0:     data.update({'HasPoints': 'yes'}) else:     data.update({'HasPoints': 'no'})‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

No, compared to the Enhanced version, ESRI's widget seems to be correct. ... View more

Ok thank you!  The extra functionality is great but the lengths being calculated (when labeling with measurements) are way off and is problematic for users that rely on those values. Thanks again. ... View more

Is anyone experiencing this same issue? The extra functionality is great with this widget but we cannot deploy it in applications if it is not functioning as expected. ... View more

Please mark Josua's post as the correct answer so other's will be able to see the resolution!  ... View more

if variable = "SAM PLE NAME" then the string result will be "SAM PLE", not "SAMPLE".  I was in response to what Joshua posted >>> variable = "SAMPLE NAME" >>> trunc = variable[:7].strip() >>> string = "'" + trunc + "'" >>> print string ... View more

You will still need to account for the possible conditions.  This will work for "SAMPLE NAME". This will fail for "SAM PLE NAME" variable = "SAM PLE NAME" trunc = variable[:7].strip() string = "'" + trunc + "'"‍‍‍ ... View more

I need to quit speedreading these OP's for little important details like that. heh. ... View more

I was under the impression that this also needs to account for "SAMPLE NAME" or "SAM PLE NAME" ... View more

The variable portion is what I'm trying to fix.  If the space is left there, then there's an unnecessary space that we want to remove.  Instead of "(SAMPLE_)", we need "(SAMPLE)", however, if the name so happens to be "SAM PLE" then we want to retain that space and end up with "(SAM_PLE)".  I'm not entirely skilled in string manipulation and there's likely far better solution -- so this is quite limited in scope and would only account for the above scenario if the variable is "SAMPLE " or "SAM PLE NAME".  But perhaps it might give you some ideas. truncVar = "" variable = "SAM PLE NAME" splitVarList = variable.split() if len(splitVarList) < 3:     truncVar = splitVarList[0].strip() elif len(splitVarList) == 3:     truncVar = "%s%s" % (splitVarList[0].strip(),splitVarList[1].strip()) print truncVar‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

One last thing to check is that the fields exist in your CalculateField_management parameters.  I know sometimes fields get renamed or added to an output that is being merged with other data.  And review the actual fieldname not just the alias for SAMPE_ID and FID. Other than that, only other time I've run into that 000732 is when I didn't have path references joined instead of fully qualified. Instead of this: #Merge all exported feature classes. arcpy.env.workspace = sampfcdata fclist = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses() sampevents = "C:\\Projects\\CreateSamples\\SampleFeatureClasses\\Sample_Events" arcpy.Merge_management(fclist, sampevents) #Calculate SAMPLE_ID field. arcpy.CalculateField_management(sampevents, "SAMPLE_ID", "[FID] + 1", "VB", "")‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Implement this: #Merge all exported feature classes. arcpy.env.workspace = sampfcdata fclist = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses() ws = r"C:\Projects\CreateSamples\SampleFeatureClasses" fcname = r"Sample_Events" sampvents = os.path.join(ws, fcname) arcpy.Merge_management(fclist, sampevents) #Calculate SAMPLE_ID field. arcpy.CalculateField_management(sampevents, "SAMPLE_ID", "[FID] + 1", "VB", "")‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...
