The strange thing is: I can edit the shapefile in arcMap, it just wont work with arcpy. Also after I restarted my computer (so there is no lock on the file... ) Here's the code:</P><LI-CODE lang="c">import arcpy workspace = "W:/data/" arcpy.env.workspace = workspace filename = "measurePoints" arcpy.Copy_management(fileName + ".shp", fileName + "XY.shp") with arcpy.da.Editor(workspace) as edit: arcpy.AddXY_management(fileName + "XY.shp")</LI-CODE><P>&nbsp;I checked if the file is write-protected, but it isn't, since I just create it in the code.</P><P>If anybody has any ideas, I'd appreciate it very much!</P><P>best regards!</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Fri, 09 Jul 2021 15:21:45 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/arcpy-table-is-not-editable/m-p/1077275#M61657 MatthiasHa 2021-07-09T15:21:45Z https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/arcpy-table-is-not-editable/m-p/1077323#M61661 <P>Did you try...</P><LI-CODE lang="python">arcpy.Copy_management(fileName + ".shp", fileName + "XY.shp") arcpy.AddXY_management(fileName + "XY.shp")</LI-CODE> Fri, 09 Jul 2021 16:26:31 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/arcpy-table-is-not-editable/m-p/1077323#M61661 DanPatterson 2021-07-09T16:26:31Z https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/arcpy-table-is-not-editable/m-p/1077698#M61702 <P>Ahh now I see my mistake...</P><P>Thank you!</P> Mon, 12 Jul 2021 07:27:50 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/arcpy-table-is-not-editable/m-p/1077698#M61702 MatthiasHa 2021-07-12T07:27:50Z
