mergeLayers

Merge Layers

Running programmatically

Merges two layers with the same geometry type into a single output layer.

Inputs:

Two layers with the same geometry type
Add all attributes - if the option is selected the attributes from both layers will be added to the output.

Outputs:

New layer

Running Programmatically

Parameters

Expression	Explanation
Function Name	MergeLayers
<input dataset>	A String representing the input layer.
<merge dataset>	A String representing the layer to be merged. Must be of the same geometry type as the input layer.
<output dataset>	A String - the full name of the output layer.
{All Attributes}	Optional. A Boolean indicating whether the attributes of the Merge layer to be transferred to the output.

Running the function

ETGWPath used in the table below is the full path to ETGWRun.exe (E.G. "C:\Program Files\ETSpatial Techniques\ETGeo Wizards\ETGWRun.exe")

Language	Syntax
Python	subprocess.call([ETGWPath, "MergeLayers", "input dataset", "merge dataset", "output dataset", "All Attributes"])
.NET using ETGWRun.exe	StartInfo.FileName = ETGWPath StartInfo.Arguments = "MergeLayers" "input dataset" "merge dataset" "output dataset" "All Attributes"
.NET using ETGWOutX.dll	MergeLayers(input dataset, merge dataset, output dataset, All Attributes)
ArcPy	arcpy.MergeLayers(input dataset, merge dataset, "output dataset" , "All Attributes")

Notes:

<> - required parameter
{} - optional parameter
See examples for Python , .NET or ArcPy
The argument separator for StartInfo.Arguments is space. If a string might contain a space, you need to double quote it.
