I am taking lats and longs from .csv and creating polygons I originally used them to make .shp files until I found about the 2GB limit.
So I thought I would use a .gdb for the feature class but I think I am running into another issue with the
featureList I am creating it has a memory error and stops at around 2 mil I believe.
What would be the best approach to create one large feature in a .gdb through a .csv that may have 3 mil or more.
I thought maybe reset the featureList but then lose the index if I append to the attribute table.
Ultimately I may have a need to join the orginal .csv to the feature class through a common index.
Any ideas appreciated I realize I may also be able to solve by using 10.2 with 64 bit however if I need to move to production I can not guarantee all users will have this and I read you would need to make sure of libraries are running 64 as well.
So for now assume Running arcGis 10.0 32bit
ps sorry about the code I do not see a button to format the code have not been on this new forum.
Thanks!!
featureList = []
coords=([(ullon_val, ullat_val),(urlon_val,urlat_val),
(lrlon_val,lrlat_val),(lllon_val,lllat_val),(ullon_val, ullat_val)])
array = arcpy.Array()
for x, y in coords:
array.add(arcpy.Point(x, y))
# Add the first point of the array in to close off the polygon
array.add(array.getObject(0))
print array.getObject(0)
# Create a Polygon object based on the array of points
polygon = arcpy.Polygon(array)
# Clear the array for future use
array.removeAll()
# Append to the list of Polygon objects
featureList.append(polygon)
print sys.getsizeof(featureList)
##2097152 bytes in 2 megabytes
try:
arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(featureList,"D:/Footprints/process/Fgdb.gdb/test_3")
except:
# If an error occurred while running a tool print the messages
print arcpy.GetMessages()
