Newbie here. I'm self-teaching about cursors and am practicing on this dataset. "testclass" is a feature class with an ID field (6 digit integer) and a name field. I want to go through and assign a unique name based on the ID. The following code works and illustrates more or less what I am trying to do (although I am sure it gives many of you heartburn with how clunky it is-- sorry ). point = "testclass" update = arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(point,["ID", "name"]) for row in update: ID = row[0] if (ID == '174769'): name = "R4S8f" row[1] = name elif (ID == '174771'): name = "C3F8m" row[1] = name elif (ID == '174773'): name = "F4S8m" row[1] = name elif (ID == '174774'): name = "C1S8f" row[1] = name elif (ID == '174776'): name = "F3S8f" row[1] = name elif (ID == '174778'): name = "R1S8f" row[1] = name elif (ID == '174781'): name = "R6F8f" row[1] = name update.updateRow(row)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ I would like to take this same concept and use an update cursor with a dictionary. I've found several posts online so I think I'm close but I can't quite get the syntax. This is what I have. assignName = {174769 : 'R4S8f', 174771 : 'C3F8m', 174773 : 'F4S8m', 174774 : 'C1S8f', 174776 : 'F3S8f', 174778 : 'R1S8f', 174781 : 'R6F8f'} cursor = arcpy.da.UpdateCursor('testclass',["ID", "name"]) for row in cursor: if row.ID in assignName: updateRow.name = assignName[updateRow.ID] update.updateRow(row)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ It's telling me in line 7 "'list' object has no attribute 'ID'" when I run this in ArcGIS Pro.

I have a point file with 237k points, and I want to convert a text field containing scientific notation values (i.e 9.99E-3) to a double value field. I'm having issues finding a tool or code to do this. Anyone know of an easy way? ... View more

I have a point shapefile that I am trying to add to a file geodatabase with 1118 point features. Every couple days I've gotten an updated shapefile, so my process has been append it to my file geodatabase and then delete duplicates, which has worked great until I got to about 1000 points, then I worked around it by merging instead of appending and just making a new file, but I would rather not have to continue doing it that way. I'm getting error 000594 and 595, it says the tool was run with warnings and I still have the same 1118 points, with no new points from the shapefile that I'm trying to append. The suddenness of the issue popping up lead me to believe it was a memory issue, but unless I'm mistaken, my 1000 points are well within the size limit of a file geodatabase. File geodatabase size and name limits—Help | ArcGIS Desktop  Am I missing something? ...

I am in the process of planning a computer build for an upcoming MS project involving some image processing and basic modeling, as well as just having a decent personal computer. Because of price, I'm looking at running my OS and ArcPro/ArcGIS 10.5 off of a SSD of about 250 GB and getting a separate HHD for some personal files and GIS data. Does anyone have any experience combining the two and does it improve the performance enough to justify getting a SSD? Or should I fork up a bit more money and just get a bigger SSD? Thanks! ...
