I would recommend copy/pasting this code to a text editor or an IDE, such as Notepad++ or PyScripter, respectively. Now, specifically to get it to work with your data, as you have not done any coding before, there are some parts you need to adjust.
Now, I would like to use the column NAME10 to use as the names for my exported files:Īfter running the script I will be left with this, all of them separate datasets: To illustrate this (and I apologize, these screenshots will be coming from QGIS. For example, North Carolina would be exported to NorthCarolina.shp instead of North Carolina.shp. It also takes care of names that would have spaces in them. National Imagery and Mapping Agencys (NIMA) database of.
when exporting use the name as the new file's name They can also be used to map localities, however you can download more recent files from NIMA, U.S. use that name to then select the row, and export just that row (i.e. loop through the file, and for each feature get its name
How this works (simplified explanation just the basic steps, not line by line): Print 'Number of States: ' + str(arcpy.GetCount_management('states_temp'))įor row in arcpy.SearchCursor('states_temp'):Īrcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management('states_temp',"NEW_SELECTION",query)Īrcpy.CopyFeatures_management('states_temp',r"F:\randomGISstuff\states\exports\\" + name + ".shp") aux.xml file, such as in ArcGIS 9.2 and later. Since this text file is not part of the raster dataset in ArcGIS 9.2, it should not be used as a world file in versions where ArcGIS can read the.
To use this text file, delete the x in the world file extension name. States = r"F:\Data\States\States_2010.shp"Īrcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(states,'states_temp') This text file can be used as a world file if it is needed for ArcGIS 9.1 and third-party software. OK, here is the script I wrote a while back, and I just adjusted it for US States, but it will work for any kind of data, as long as it contains a column with unique values. kmz Other file extensions associated with ArcGIS The conversion from the native survey data, Geopak, MicroStation or CAD files used in the preparation of the property descriptions and parcel plats to the coordinate system and format of the geodatabase template can be accomplished in a number of different ways in different programs and in ArcGIS depending on the origin and format of the survey. zlas Common file extensions used by ArcGIS adf file extension is used for ArcView ARC/INFO coverage data Other file extensions or file formats developed for use with ArcGIS ArcGIS default file extension associations The most common file format used with the specific file extension Although its likely, that some file extensions may be missing from the list of associated file extensions with the application, yet they can be opened, be part of, or otherwise be associated with the program. However most, if not all directly associated file extensions should be listed with its appropriate program. The list of extensions used or otherwise associated with the application may not be complete, because many common file extensions on our website, such as jpg (pictures) or txt (text files), can be opened by a large number of applications, or are too general file format. Note: You can click on any file extension link from the list below, to view its detailed information. Despite their limitations (most notably limiting field names to ten characters), the. ArcGIS works with the following file extensions: Shapefiles utilize an old file format that ESRI developed in the 1990s.
