[mapserver-users] unable to build spatial index when running shptree from ArcGIS model

[Matt Brown]

Mark,

I just ran a test and was able to execute shptree through a script in
arcmap.

this is the script I ran:

import subprocess
subprocess.Popen(['D:/GIS/testqix.bat'])

which opened this batch file:

call d:\ms4w\setenv.bat
shptree d:\gis\nm.shp


I was also able to just point directly to the batch file when I defined the
script which also works for me.

Hope this helps,

Matt
