I want to make a point layer from a csv file with AIS data (Automated Identification System, i.e., shipping data) . Then I want to make lines using a script called TrackBuilder.
So I have two python scripts: PythonTest.py to make the points and TrackBuilderVersion2_x64.py to make the lines.
I don't know how to tell python to use the variable outFC_Project in TrackBuilderVersion2_x64.py
The error I get is:
exceptions.NameError: name 'outFC_Project' is not defined
PythonTest.py:
#import modules
import arcpy
import os
from arcpy import env
import TrackBuilderVersion2_x64
#Set env settings
env.workspace = "E:/DensityMaps/DensityMapsTest.gdb/"
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput =True
#Define variables
monthTable = "E:/test_division/division_finale2014/file_list_months_weeks/scope_ais_december.csv"
monthPoints = "monthPoints"
x_coords = "long"
y_coords = "lat"
out_Layer = "monthLayer"
path_outLayer = "E:/DensityMaps/"
saved_Layer = "E:/DensityMaps/monthlayer.lyr"
outFC = "MonthFC"
outFC_Project = outFC+"_Project"
#set spatial reference
spRef =arcpy.SpatialReference("WGS 1984")
try:
#Process
arcpy.MakeXYEventLayer_management(monthTable, x_coords, y_coords, out_Layer, spRef, "")
#Save to layer file
arcpy.SaveToLayerFile_management(out_Layer, saved_Layer)
#Copy features to FC
arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(saved_Layer,outFC)
#Set output coordinate system. 3035 = LAEA
outCS = arcpy.SpatialReference(3035)
#Project to LAEA
arcpy.Project_management(outFC, outFC_Project, outCS)
#Calling trackbuilder
TrackBuilderVersion2_x64
#Delete temporary files
arcpy.Delete_management('monthLayer')
os.remove(saved_Layer)
#Check messages
