I am new in Python scripting. I have a geodatabase with layer Test
and this layer has field Name
and Text element on layout named TEname
. I am trying to show selected feature attribute Name
value in Text element, but I could not do it. I can print the value for selected feature, but can't show it in Text element.
Here is the code I use:
import arcpy
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("current")
TEname = arcpy.mapping.ListLayoutElements(mxd,"TEXT_ELEMENT","Name")[0]
for row in arcpy.da.SearchCursor("Test","name")
print row
...
(u'Land plot 1',)
for row in arcpy.da.SearchCursor("Test","name"):
TEname.text = row
...
TEname.text = row
Runtime error Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.5\arcpy\arcpy\arcobjects_base.py", line 89, in _set return setattr(self._arc_object, attr_name, cval(val)) RuntimeError: TextElementObject: Error in setting text
