From the help, it looks like the input list should be comma delimited for merge, not semi-colons. Am I wrong? edit: I just tried my way and it works. #Create List and Add Layers to the List L = [] L.append(LayerName) # Process: Merge Selected Features arcpy.Merge_management(L, OutputFolderLocation + "\\All_Sites.shp") ...

Oh, I think I see. When you tried Spatial Join, did you set a search distance? That can make a big difference. Something else you could try is running Near to find the closest polygon to each point, then join them together (not sure if that would be any faster). You could also make a simplified version of your coastline polygons and try Spatial Join to that. ... View more

You can try: 1.) Trace the coast line to a polyline feature class 2.) Buffer the coast line using "LEFT" or "RIGHT" (requires ArcInfo, or Advanced, now) ... View more

I don't know if this will help, but you should delete your mxd when you're done with it: del mxd ... View more

It seems like your question is more "how to dynamically calculate the time when a point is added" rather than "how to dynamically add a point" (that's what an edit session is for). I think the best way to do it would be to write a simple ArcObjects macro that listens for an event (adding a point) and then calculates the time in the table for that point. I think you're barking up the wrong tree trying to force this in Python, which doesn't listen for events. ... View more

Why did you comment out the line: #mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(ckFolder + os.sep + mDoc)? You need a MapDocument to use findAndReplaceWorkspacePaths. The value returned from os.path.join isn't a MapDocument, it's a path to a MapDocument. ... View more

Firstly, you need to decide if you want to use VBScript or Python. You started with almost functional VBScript and have been slowly drifting into functional Python. PYTHON: In the expression box: func(!DUPLICATE!) Then, in the codeblock: def func(dup):     if dup == "0":         return "CATEGORY 1"     elif dup == "1":         return "CATEGORY 2" VBSCRIPT: In the expression box: result Codeblock: if [DUPLICATE] = 0 then   result = "CATEGORY 1" elseif [DUPLICATE] = 1 then   result = "CATEGORY 2" else   result = [DUPLICATE] end if ...

If you want to use floor in the field calculator, select the Python parser, and use the expression: math.floor(!Elevation!) ... View more

Psst! Nobbir, you forgot the "try:" in your previous example. Ian, the only thing I can think of is that your path is wrong. Later on, there's a typo in your script ("arpy"). ... View more

Is this the whole script? I don't see where you've set the workspace environment, or qqlist, or elim_path, or update_path, etc. ... View more

I've also run into this with polygons with a large number of vertices, although I'm not sure if the infowindows still appeared. Try Simplify Polygon first. edit: I see folks posting elsewhere that KML has a vertex limit of about 30,000, although I ran into this problem with a feature class containing about 10,000. It worked fine after simplification. ... View more
