Does the map document have data-driven pages enabled? Is the picture element set to either 1) use a field as the image path or 2) use an attachment as the image source? If so, that is the reason you can't set the image path. ... View more

It's only refreshed in the updateParameters() method. Add this to it: gridFC = os.path.dirname(arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT").filePath) + r"\SourceData.gdb\Grid_Index" parameters[0].values = sorted([[r[0] + " pg. " + str(r[1])] for r in arcpy.da.SearchCursor(gridFc, ["MXD_NAME", "PAGE_NUM"])]) ... View more

Mike: we're bundling xlrd and xlwt with newer versions of ArcGIS, would that be adequate for your needs? I'm aware of the demand for Pandas (I want it too), I'm going to see what I can do with that. ... View more

I'm surprised this works at all for you. Describe is not the appropriate function to use here. Try this: import arcpy from arcpy import env # Loop through all MXDs in the specified folder and list layers in each MXD folderPath = r"mydata" env.workspace = folderPath maps = arcpy.ListFiles("*.mxd") # makes a list of maps in folderPath for map in maps:     mxd_path = os.path.join(env.workspace, map)     print mxd_path     mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(mxd)     lyrlist = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd)     for lyr in lyrlist:         print lyr.dataSource ...

Could you paste the full traceback? Try this: import io with io.open(myfile, "w", encoding="utf-8") as txtFile:     for fd in fdList:         arcpy.env.workspace = wksp+'/'+fd         fcList = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses()         txtFile.write(fd)         txtFile.write(os.linesep)         for fc in fcList:             arcpy.env.workspace = wksp+'/'+fd+'/'+fc             fields = arcpy.ListFields(arcpy.env.workspace)             txtFile.write(u' '+fc)             txtFile.write(os.linesep)             for field in fields:                 fieldname = field.name                 txtFile.write(fieldname)                 txtFile.write(os.linesep)     print "done" ...

I'd just do it as a script: featureclass = r"c:\my.gdb\myfc" field = "idfield" id = 1 with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(featureclass, field) as cur:     for row in cur:         cur.updateRow(["FIT-{0}".format(id)])     id += 1 but this modification to yours works too: rec=0 def autoIncrement():     global rec     pStart = 2555 #adjust start value, if req'd     pInterval = 1 #adjust interval value, if req'd     if (rec == 0):         rec = pStart     else:         rec = rec + pInterval     return "FIT-{0}".format(rec) ...

For the time being, you'll probably just want to use print statements to let your users know you're doing work in a non-blocking manner and tell people to look at the Python window for some indication of progress. James' message box solution works well, too, but the script will block on the dialog until the user has pressed OK. In 10.3 we've thought about this and we're adding a progress dialog into the pythonaddins module. Its usage will look something like this: with pythonaddins.ProgressDialog as dialog:     dialog.title = "Doing work..."     dialog.label = "Opening cursor..."     # Do some work here     dialog.label = "Working..."     # More work here     dialog.label = "Cleaning up..." as long as your code is inside that with block the dialog will display on-screen, giving you a way to indicate that you're working and automatically clean up/hide the dialog window when you're done. ...

You need to convert the strings you get in GetParameterAsText into Raster objects. # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import arcpy from arcpy.sa import * arcpy.CheckOutExtension("spatial") QC = arcpy.Raster(arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)) NDVI = arcpy.Raster(arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)) GoodNDVI = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2) GoodNDVI_raster = (QC==0)*(NDVI>2000)*NDVI GoodNDVI_raster.save(GoodNDVI + ".tif") ...
