Module 11: Sharing Tools

Random Buffer Tool and Result

This is a screenshot of custom tool that can be easily shared between users. The tool incorporates a Python script that was imported into the tool. The tool prompts the user to select their own parameters in the dialog through help tips. Even if the user has no knowledge of Python scripting, a well designed geoprocessing tool can increase the users productivity.

Module 10: Creating Custom Tools

Part 2 Screenshot: Multi Clip Custom Script Tool 

This custom script tool was created in using the Add Script Wizard in ArcMap. A script tool allows a user with no knowledge of Python to perform geoprocessing tasks by simply entering tool parameters using built in validation and error-checking. 

Part 3 Screenshot: Multi Clip Messages

This is a screenshot of the results window after the custom script tool completed its tasks. Script tools enable Python to write messages to the results window during a geoprocessing task informing the user of the tools progress.
