I have several layers in an ArcMap Document. All of these layers are stored as shape files.
Specific features of the said layers are selected. I want to export the data as shapefile programatically. How can I do this using arcpy?
Answer
Try..
## This script will look for all the layers that have feature selected in them in the TOC and export them in seperated shapefile.
##output layer name will be the original name+ _selected e.g. luzon_loss_selected
import arcpy
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT")
df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames( mxd, "Layers")[0]
layers = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "*", df)
output_folder = r'C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\Desktop\test' ##folder path of output
for layer in layers:
Sel=arcpy.Describe(layer)
if Sel.FIDset:
arcpy.FeatureClassToFeatureClass_conversion(layer,output_folder,layer.name + "_selected","","","")
