It's easy enough to get a feature layer into an SEDF, but I don't think geopandas can deal with a SEDF since it recognizes coordinates as Geometry (awhile back I was using AGOL and remember that being the case). What are your thoughts on this?

As you say, clone the arc Python environment then pip install Geopandas works fine. Here's an example of rotating something with geopandas, shapely and the API for Python.</P><LI-CODE lang="python">import arcpy from arcgis.gis import GIS import os import pandas as pd import geopandas as gpd from shapely import affinity sdf = pd.DataFrame.spatial.from_featureclass(rotate_features_sj) gdf = gpd.GeoDataFrame(sdf, geometry='SHAPE', crs=f"EPSG:{self.epsg_code}") for index, row in gdf.iterrows(): rotate_pf = affinity.rotate(row['SHAPE'], row['Pivot_Rotation'], origin=(row['Pivot_Easting'], row['Pivot_Northing'])) gdf.loc[index, 'geometry'] = rotate_pf gdf.loc[index, 'SHAPE'] = gdf.loc[index, 'geometry'] gdf = gdf.drop(columns=['geometry']) gdf.to_file(os.path.dirname(self.final_features), layer=os.path.basename(self.final_features), driver="OpenFileGDB", crs=f"EPSG:{self.epsg_code}")</LI-CODE><P>&nbsp;&nbsp;</P> Tue, 13 Aug 2024 18:17:23 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/using-geopandas-with-arcgis/m-p/1520753#M86926 MattHowe 2024-08-13T18:17:23Z
