Set Value For Range Domain

Summary

Sets the minimum and maximum values for an existing Range domain.

Usage

  • A range domain specifies a valid range of values for a numeric attribute. For example, a valid range of water main pressure values might be between 50 and 75 psi.

  • Domain management involves the following steps:

    1. Create the domain using the Create Domain tool.
    2. Add values to or set the range of values for the domain using the Add Coded Value To Domain tool or this tool.
    3. Associate the domain with a feature class using the Assign Domain To Field tool.

  • Workspace domains can also be managed in ArcCatalog or the Catalog window. Domains can be created and modified through the Domains tab on the Database Properties dialog box.

Code sample

SetValueForRangeDomain example 1 (Python window)

The following Python window script demonstrates how to use the SetValueForRangeDomain function in immediate mode.

import arcpy
arcpy.env.workspace =  "C:/data"
arcpy.SetValueForRangeDomain_management("montgomery.gdb", "RotAngle", 0, 359)
SetValueForRangeDomain example 2 (stand-alone script)

This stand-alone script uses the SetValueForRangeDomain function as part of a workflow to create a range attribute domain.

# Name: CreateRangeDomain.py
# Purpose: Create an attribute domain to constrain valid rotation angle

# Import system modules
import arcpy
 
# Set the workspace (to avoid having to type in the full path to the data every time)
arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/data"

# Set local parameters
dWorkspace = "montgomery.gdb"
domName = "RotAngle2"
domDesc = "Valid rotation angle"
minRange = 0
maxRange = 359
inFeatures = "Montgomery.gdb/Water/fittings"
inField = "ANGLE"

# Process: Create the range domain
arcpy.CreateDomain_management(dWorkspace, domName, domDesc, "LONG", "RANGE")

# Process: Set the minimum and maximum values for the range domain
arcpy.SetValueForRangeDomain_management(dWorkspace, domname, minRange, maxRange)

# Process: Constrain the fitting rotation angle
arcpy.AssignDomainToField_management( inFeatures, inField, domName)
