disable M value and Z value by using arcpy

Question

I want to remove the M and Z values of the shapefiles, which can be done by using Feature Class to Geodatabase (multiple) and choosing Disabled for M and Z values. The following picture shows the details of the step.

I want to use arcpy to realize this step so I used Copy As Python Snippet and obtained the below code.

arcpy.FeatureClassToGeodatabase_conversion(Input_Features="LinearRef_Travis_LS;Merged_Final", Output_Geodatabase="C:/Users/TL/Desktop/1031/New File Geodatabase.gdb")

The code doesn't show the part of changing the environment setting. I wonder if there is way to remove the M and Z values of shapefiles by using arcpy?

I am using ArcGIS Desktop 10.3.1 Advanced License.

Answer 1

There aren't any settings in the tool that allow you to set the environment. However, looking at the documentation for this tool, you can see that the environments for M and Z values are honoured.

Prior to running your tool, set the appropriate environment settings as such:

import arcpy

# Set the outputMFlag environment to Disabled
arcpy.env.outputMFlag = "Disabled"

# Set the outputZFlag environment to Disabled
arcpy.env.outputZFlag = "Disabled"

Then you can run your code to convert the feature class:

arcpy.FeatureClassToGeodatabase_conversion(Input_Features="LinearRef_Travis_LS;Merged_Final", Output_Geodatabase="C:/Users/TL/Desktop/1031/New File Geodatabase.gdb")

Here's the documentation on the "Output has M Values" flag and here's the documentation on the "Output has Z Values" flag.
