I have a shapefile with 100+ rows. What I like to do is to select each row and export all its data to a new shapefile. I tried using the arcpy.da.SearchCursor as follows:



with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(inputshape,"*",None) as cursor:
... for row in cursor:
... arcpy.FeatureClassToFeatureClass_conversion(row,pathToFolder,row[3] + ".shp")


Resulting in an error, arcpy displays following message:




Runtime error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 3, in
File "c:program files (x86)arcgisdesktop10.4arcpyarcpyconversion.py", line 1694, in
FeatureClassToFeatureClass
raise e
RuntimeError: Object: Error in executing tool




I think first parameter in the FeatureClassTofeatureClass_conversion method ist wrong. Other Examples show that there has to be the @Shape field. the workflow I would like to automate is very simple: 1) Open the attribute table 2) select a row 3) Export selected data to a new shapefile.

          The cursor does not select anything, it is only returning a tuple (~a list of the attributes). But you can use the ObjectID returned by the cursor and pass this to Select:




          Extracts features from an input feature class or input feature layer,
          typically using a select or Structured Query Language (SQL) expression
          and stores them in an output feature class.




          Like this:



          import arcpy,os

          input_fc=r'C:TESTShape.shp'
          outfolder=r'C:folder'

          with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(input_fc,'OID@') as cursor:
          for row in cursor:
          sql="""0 = 1""".format(arcpy.AddFieldDelimiters(input_fc, arcpy.Describe(
          input_fc).OIDFieldName),row[0])
          arcpy.Select_analysis(in_features=input_fc, out_feature_class=os.path.join(outfolder,'Shapefile_0.shp'.format(row[0])),
          where_clause=sql)


          enter image description here



          But an easier option would be to use tool Split By Attributes with ObjectID field as split field:




          Splits an input dataset by unique attributes.

          To export each row/feature within the cursor you will need to nest a variable expression that queries the active cursor row FID or some other unique identifier field/value. Then you may use the Select method using the active row expression aka where clause to export out the active row to a new fc.



          The pseudo logic would go something like this:



          with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(inputshape,'FID') as cursor:
          for row in cursor:
          where_clause = # define expression here for active field/row
          # Execute Select
          arcpy.Select_analysis(inputshape, out_feature_class, where_clause) # you'll have to define the out_feature_class
