    <p>I want to create a single shape file from multiple mxd's that have multiple frame sets with different extents in them. I have found/started a python script to do this (code below) but can't figure out how to write the captured X&amp;Y Max/Min into the shape file that is created for this. See output below - an Attribute Error is generated. </p> <p>I also want it to write the scale and title of the frame as well as the file name of the mxd in to the extents shape file.</p> <p>Would appreciate your help in completing this script.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>George</p> <p>--- CODE START</p> <pre><code>import arcpy, os, glob path = 'P:\\2011\\Job_031_TownPlanning_SeriesProduction\\Working\\mxd\\1' os.chdir(path) mxds_List = glob.glob('*.mxd') mxd2 = glob.glob('*.shp') count_Mapdocs = len(mxds_List) print 'Processing ' + str(count_Mapdocs) + 'map documents...' #Create Polygon Shapefile arcpy.CreateFeatureclass_management(path, 'extents.shp', "POLYGON") arcpy.CreateFeatureclass_management(path, 'mxds.shp', "POLYGON") #Start Loop for mxd2 in mxds_List: mapDoc = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(mxd) dataframe = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mapDoc,'*')[0] frameExtent = dataframe.extent #Frame Scale frameScale = dataframe.scale #Frame Extent ExtentXMax = frameExtent.XMax ExtentXMin = frameExtent.XMin ExtentYXax = frameExtent.YMax ExtentYMin = frameExtent.YMin point_object = mxd2.shp #Write in table scale #Write in table </code></pre> <p>--- END CODE</p> <p>--- OUTPUT START</p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p>Processing 14map documents...

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
