Hi there, I have a stream polyline and sampling sites as points. As the points are not accurately located on the stream lines, I want to calculate the correct XY-coordinates with the "near"-Tool.I want to do this in Python with other geoprocessing tasks in a row and every point one by one. My question: Is it generally possible to use this tool on a geometry object instead of a Feature Class? Does a geometry object actually have attributes like in the attribute table of a Feature Class that I can read out afterwards? Maybe this is a stupid question, but I'm quite new to Python and using Geometry objects.My code that I tried looked like this, but I have no idea, how to get now the XY-coordinates from the results...:
def find_PS_XY_on_streams (PS, streams):
g = arcpy.Geometry()
searchRadius = "30 Meters"
location = "true"
near_XY = arcpy.Near_analysis(PS, streams, searchRadius, location)
return near_XY
FC = "points"
stream_FC = "River"
g = arcpy.Geometry()
geometryList = arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(FC, g)
for geometry in geometryList:
PS_XY = find_PS_XY_on_streams (geometry, stream_FC)
Thanks for any help!Selda
