What exactly is the error message at SetNull? I'm guessing this has to do with the fact that when you run the code one line at a time in ArcMap, the raster "outairast" is added to the table of contents. It is then available to SetNull as the layer "outairast" (in quotes). When you run the script outside of ArcMap, there is no table of contents to add the result "outairast" to, therefore no layer called "outairast" (in quotes). It then interprets "outairast" as a string in the call to SetNull, which results in an error. There is a raster held in the variable outairast (no quotes). I believe you should be able to access it using something like: outai_setnull = SetNull(outairast, outairast, "VALUE < 1") ... View more

Is the data type of your field truly "Boolean" or perhaps a 1-digit integer or a text field? I don't see Boolean listed as a valid ArcGIS data type. ... View more

Depending on how extensive the changes are, you may want to look into using ArcObjects through Python/comtypes. Be warned: it is a serious brain-shift from arcpy, but may be worth your effort. Can you copy data frames with arcpy? I didn't think that was possible, but I'm not overly familiar with the mapping module. ... View more

Okay, last reply, then you're going to have to piece some of this together on your own. insCursor = arcpy.da.InsertCursor(pointFC, ['Minrights', 'FCVTotal','POINT_X','POINT_Y','SHAPE@XY']) # create insert cursor        with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(point,['Minrights', 'FCVTotal','POINT_X','POINT_Y','SHAPE@XY']) as cursor: # loop through feature set          for row in cursor:           row[0] = row[0] # if the 'Minrights' value is coming from the search cursor, otherwise change this         row[1] = row[1] # if the 'FCVTotal' value is coming from the search cursor, otherwise change this         row[2] = row[4][0] # the X coordinate from the SHAPE@XY         row[3] = row[4][1] # the Y coordinate from the SHAPE@XY         row[4] = row[4] # the whole SHAPE@XY         insCursor.insertRow(row)   ...

Is there some pattern to the values you want to multiply, or somewhat random? If a pattern, you can potentially build a map algebra expression to handle all cases, if random, you may want the Reclassify tool, but it really depends on exactly what you want. Save us some time and post what you've tried, or at least, provide more information on your specific requirements. ... View more

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do inside the search cursor, but 'row' (from the search cursor) is already the 5-part list that will populate your insert cursor. Because you've set up the insert cursor fields and search cursor fields exactly the same, you can slide the 'row' from the search cursor right into the insert cursor. Doesn't this work? insCursor = arcpy.da.InsertCursor(pointFC, ['Minrights', 'FCVTotal','POINT_X','POINT_Y','SHAPE@XY']) # create insert cursor    with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(point,['Minrights', 'FCVTotal','POINT_X','POINT_Y','SHAPE@XY']) as cursor: # loop through feature set        for row in cursor:         insCursor.insertRow(row) ...

If you list 3 fields when you create the insert cursor, then you need to fill it with 3 appropriate things when you insert a row. If you list 100 fields when you create the insert cursor, then you need to fill it with 100 appropriate things when you insert a row. ... View more

Possible map problems: - try a fresh mxd - try deleting Normal.mxt Possible data problems: - try exporting feature classes to fresh FGDB or shapefile - are these GDB feature classes, shapefiles, or other? - are the feature classes participating in a network or otherwise doing something non-standard? - does this type of lag occur with other feature classes? - do the feature classes reside on your machine? Basically, as you've described them, the feature classes sound pretty standard so I suspect there is something more systematic going on. At the very least, you should be able to start a new mxd, add one of the feature classes, and edit it with no problem. ... View more
