Script example

# Create the Geoprocessor object and set the environment
import arcgisscripting
msgNoLicenseAvailable = "Schematics license required"
gp = arcgisscripting.create()
try:
    if gp.CheckExtension("Schematics") == "Available":
       gp.CheckOutExtension("Schematics")
    else:
       raise "LicenseError"
except "LicenseError":
    print msgNoLicenseAvailable
gp.OverWriteOutput = 1

# Local variables
workspace = "C:\ArcGIS\ArcTutor\Schematics\Schematics\ElecDemo.gdb"

# Set the current workspace
gp.workspace = workspace

# Process: CreateSchematicFolder to create a main root schematic folder
gp.CreateSchematicFolder_schematics("ElecDemo", "MySchematicRootFolder")
# Process: CreateSchematicFolder to create a sub schematic folder in the newly created main folder
gp.CreateSchematicFolder_schematics("ElecDemo\MySchematicRootFolder", "MySchematicSubFolder")
