Python utilities for use with Esri ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Pro software
Project description
# README #
### What is this repository for? ### * A collection of (mostly) arcpy related utilities for use within ArcGIS Desktop (Python 2.7), or ArcGIS Pro (Python 3) as well where possible. Shortcuts for accessing elements of a map document, performing various data discovery tasks on a table or gdb
### How do I get set up? ###
To install the utilities:
pip install arc_utils
Clone the repo to your machine and add the path to the python install https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/modules.html#the-module-search-path
Optionally, you can copy the folder to the site-packages in the ESRI python install directory, or add a .pth file to the site-packages folder pointing to the clone directory.
To use the utilities:
in the python window in ArcMap/ArcCatalog/Pro
`python import arc_utils as au `
typing au. will now reveal the modules and functions available to you if you have autocomplete on
Depends on arcpy (only available with Esri license)
### Example usage ###
import arc_utils as au
tbl = au.table.TableObj(path to featureclass)
# list all fields
print(tbl.fields)
mxd_doc = au.mxd.MxdObj(“CURRENT”)
mxd_doc.layer_names_array >> [‘layer1’,’layer2’]
pro_doc = au.aprx.AprxObj(“CURRENT”)
pro_doc.maps >> [<arcpy._mp.Map object at 0x000001A4AECBF108>, <arcpy._mp.Map object at 0x000001A4AEBB6608>]
pro_doc.maps[0].name >> ‘Map’
### Contribution guidelines ###
Contributions welcomed, this is a starting point for various utilities that I think could be useful within Arc.
