What is the default folder where add-ins are copied into when they are installed?
C:\Esri\ArcGIS\Desktop10.x\AddIns
C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Desktop10.x\AddIns
C:\Pythonxx\ArcGIS10.x\AddIns
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\ArcGIS\AddIns\Desktop10.x
Which of the following is not a type of Python add-in?
button
toolbar
combo box
tool
project
menu
The pythonaddins module can only be used within a Python add-in and cannot be used in stand-alone scripts or geoprocessing script tools.
Which of the following is not a function of the pythonaddins module?
SaveDialog
ToolBox
OpenDialog
MessageBox
Python add-ins can be digitally signed to improve security when the add-ins are shared. Once an add-in file has been digitally signed, modifying or removing any of its contents will break the digital signature.
Consider the following script for a Python add-in:
import arcpy import pythonaddins
class OpenGPTool(object): def __init__(self): self.enabled = True self.checked = False def onClick(self): pythonaddins.GPToolDialog('C:/Project/ProjectTools.tbx', 'MyTool')
What is onClick in this script?
A property of the Button class
A method of the Tool function
A method of the Button function
A property of the Tool class
A function of the Button class
A function of the Tool class
What does the add-in accomplish?
When you click the button it runs a Python script
When you click the button it open a dialog box for you to select a geoprocessing tool
When you click the button it uses the currently selected features in a geoprocessing tool
When you click the button it opens a geoprocessing tool from a custom toolbox.
When using a Python add-in created by someone else, you can easily view and edit the Python code, similar to script tools.
