Attempted to use the RepairGeometry example 2 stand-alone script provided in Esri documentation to back up erroneous geometries and then repair them. Script fails on the CopyFeatures line, meaning that erroneous geometries are not able to be copied to another feature class before being corrected.
I did update the path to the table that was generated by the Check Geometry tool.
Repair Geometry (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation
Here is the sample script directly from the Esri documentation.
# Description:
# Goes through the table generated by the Check Geometry tool and does
# the following
# 1) backs-up all features which will be 'fixed' to a "_bad_geom" feature class
# 2) runs repairGeometry on all feature classes listed in the table
import arcpy
import os
# Table that was produced by Check Geometry tool
table = r"c:\temp\data.gdb\cg_sample1"
# Create local variables
fcs = []
# Loop through the table and get the list of fcs
for row in arcpy.da.SearchCursor(table, ("CLASS")):
# Get the class (feature class) from the cursor
if not row[0] in fcs:
fcs.append(row[0])
# Now loop through the fcs list, backup the bad geometries into fc + "_bad_geom"
# then repair the fc
print("> Processing {0} feature classes".format(len(fcs)))
for fc in fcs:
print("Processing " + fc)
lyr = 'temporary_layer'
if arcpy.Exists(lyr):
arcpy.Delete_management(lyr)
tv = "cg_table_view"
if arcpy.Exists(tv):
arcpy.Delete_management(tv)
arcpy.MakeTableView_management(table, tv, ("\"CLASS\" = '%s'" % fc))
arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(fc, lyr)
arcpy.AddJoin_management(lyr, arcpy.Describe(lyr).OIDFieldName, tv, "FEATURE_ID")
arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(lyr, fc + "_bad_geom")
arcpy.RemoveJoin_management(lyr, os.path.basename(table))
arcpy.RepairGeometry_management(lyr)
The following error is returned:
ExecuteError: ERROR 160144: An expected Field was not found or could not be retrieved properly.
Failed to execute (CopyFeatures).
