learning python, using python how would I ingest feature classes into a GDB, then rename them

Emasia — Mon, 16 Jan 2023 19:05:29 GMT

Using Python, how would I take for example [ buildings_a_16_free] from osm and ingest that feature class into a new GDB (named after a file structure such as ***- where *** is the name of the country) into [***_Buildings_Polygon]?

Should I figure it out first I will post the solution to it.

To do that, you can use the tool Export Features (Conversion)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation.

The documentation of the ArcGIS Tools always has a section which tells you how to call the tool in Python:

I don't know your data, but here are two quick examples:

Just copy the whole feature class

arcpy.conversion.ExportFeatures( "C:/Data/OldGeodatabase.gdb/Buildings", "C:/Data/NewGeodatabase.gdb/Buildings" )

Copy the features into different Featureclasses, depending on a field value

in_features = "C:/Data/OldGeodatabase/Buildings" classification_field = "Country" # read all values of the classification field class_values = [] with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(in_features, [classification_field]) as cursor: for row in cursor: class_values.append(row[0]) # often, you will find syntax like this: # class_values = [row[0] for row in arcpy.da.SearchCursor(in_features, [classification_field])] # this is called list comprehension, lots of good intros into that online. # convert the list (all values) into a set (distinct values) distinct_class_values = set(class_values) # loop over the distinct values for class_value in distinct_class_values: print(class_value) # create a SQL query that will filter for that value query = f"{classification_field} = '{class_value}'" # this is called f-string # export the filtered features into a new feature class arcpy.converion.ExportFeatures( in_features, f"C:/Data/NewGeodatabase.gdb/{class_value}_Buildings", query )
