Hi andrew! Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the commands you sent me do not solve my problem. Vietnamese Script is a kind of awkward coded. So I am not sure if there is a built in solution for this. I just found the following link descriping vn character sets. http://vietunicode.sourceforge.net/ Most important for me is the TCVN3. So I could do a dictionary and look up every single character and replace it by the corresponding unicode character. However from my feeling I would say that this would slow down my code dramatically and doesn't look like the brightest solution. Besdides I don't know how to step through the characters as some TCVN3 character sets have one other two characters to symbolize 1 unicode character (e.g.â =© but  �? = Aµ). Any suggestions? I also came across an old script dealing with a similar problem in 9.3. but though i modified it I can not get it to run in arcgis10. I keep getting an error stating 'Result' object has no attribute 'GetOutput' # Simple script for conversion of Vietnamese encoding import arcpy from arcpy import env import os import string import csv arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True def Convert(str,s,d):     global _Unicode, _TCVN3, _KhongDau     result = u''     for c in str:         idx = s.find(c)         if idx >= 0:             c = d[idx]         result += c     return result #

Hi! Just out of my distant memory to give you an idea 1) Open georeferencing toolbox 2) Use add control point and first click on a known coordinate on your map (e.g. crosspoints of the grid) second click anywhere else doesnt matter where  (just to finsih  creating the link) 3) Go to View Link table and change the values of X Map and Y Map to the correct values (The x y values you get from the grid written on your paper map ) of the Links origin point (where you clicked first). 4) Repeat steps for 4 points in each corner of your map 5) Under Georeferencing/Transformation you can choose which transformation you like 6) At the end press Update Georeferencing Hope that helps you to get started. ...

Hi just some hints for you. I didn't try it. Just wrote from memory. 1) Leave it hard coded and replace it when your code works e.g. TargetProject= "Coordinate Systems/Projected Coordinate Systems/UTM/WGS 1984/Northern Hemisphere/WGS 1984 UTM Zone 18N.prj" later you replace it by: TargetProject=arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) 2/3) try this:  #for" in_data" use the describe command to ge the name of the current projection desc = arcpy.Describe("C:/Data/example.gdb/yourshape") in_data=desc.name #for the new shape use the old + some string. I often make mistakes in combining so counter check out_data=str(str(in_data) + "_projected.shp") Rename_management (in_data, out_data) 4) Try this: desc = arcpy.Describe("C:/Data/example.gdb/yourshape") sr = desc.spatialReference if str(sr) ==TargetProject: #then do your stuff etc. else:    print: "Already correct coordinate System" good luck chris ...

Hi Marc! I appreciate your hints. 1) I agree I should handle the error messages more carefully. I've one more question on that. Sometimes when programming python gives me an error message telling me there is a mistake in a certain line(25), but in IDLE Python it is another line(20). Any idea about that? 2) Touché.

Hi! Thanks to all of you ! I finally finished it today. I copied the lines of Mathew, but I discovered that my original problem was that I choose an reserved field name for a field i added. ArcView changed it and add a "_" which I didn't realize. So now it is working perfectly fine. So anybody who is interested in a tool creating a table with all table field properties of a geodatabase fell free to try it. Best regards again Chris # Export all the field properties of each table in the Geodatabse to a new table # in the same Geodatabase. If the table already exists the old one will be # overwritten.

Hi! I wanted to use the Code to define the deviation from north in degree. Where north would be 0 east 90 south 180 and west 270. So I changed the code to this: 180 + math.atan2((!Shape.lastpoint.X! - !Shape.firstpoint.X!),(!Shape.lastpoint.Y! - !Shape.firstpoint.Y!)) * (180 / math.pi) So far so good, BUT for everything in western direction I get a negative value eg. -90 instead of 270.
