Level of Comparison Between Projection Files (Environment setting)

Tools that honor the Level of Comparison Between Projection Files environment only execute if the input projections match to the degree that is specified.

Usage notes

Explanation

NONE

Any combination of projection information will result in a match. Either all input projections can be UNKNOWN, or each input can have a different projection defined. This is the default.

PARTIAL

At least one projection file must be defined; the others can be UNKNOWN and will result in a match.

FULL

All projection information must be specified and identical in the projection file of each input dataset.

projectCompare syntax
import arcpy

# Set the projectCompare environment to FULL
arcpy.env.projectCompare = "FULL"
