I notice the indentations where off when attached my code. I tried to fix the indentations but it would not let me. I am using line 48 to use the selected point for line 50 for the selectlayerbylocation. ... View more

Richard the codes runs fine but if there is nothing selected i get Traceback (most recent call last):   File "<string>", line 55, in <module> NameError: name 'row' is not defined If i remove the del row, del rows, del rowInserter the codes runs with points selected and with out points selected. Without points i do get the message "There are no features selected". I thought the "if" statment would handle it if nothing was selected? Thank you for all your help Richard. I am trying to understand the list part in your code. could you or do you mind explaining what is happening in this line (if FCfield.name.upper() == incidentFCfield.name.upper() and FCfield.type == incidentFCfield.type and incidentFCfield.editable == True and not (FCfield.name.upper() in matchedFields):  ) ...

after making the change to "incidentFCfield.editable() == True. i still get the error. Runtime error Traceback (most recent call last):   File "<string>", line 28, in <module> TypeError: 'bool' object is not callable thanks. ... View more

Richard thank your your patience and help. python is not my strong point obviously. i am not familiar with list. when i first got the error i removed .name from manualField.name.upper but once i removed i got an error on line 35, in TypeError: 'bool' object is not callable. i proceeding to remove all of them from line 28 and got error an line 23, in 'Field' object has no attribute 'upper'. So i didn't understand the error so that's why i posted the error i got. i am still stuck on the error. Thanks. ... View more

I am getting an error on line 17 "unexpected character after line continuation character. I believe the forward slashes are erroring out on lines 17, 25-27. I also noticed that some fields in the manualFields list have single quotes and other have double quotes is this correct? ... View more

After making the correction to the SHAPE@X AND SHAPE@Y the code ran fine. You code make more sense now that i can see it. I did not know that you can use insertRow of one layer inside an updateCursor for a different layer. I need to copy pretty pretty much every field of the selected point or points to the back up, i was just testing my code and figured that once i got it working i could add the other fields but there are like 50 fields and i would prefer not to have to type every one. I think you touched on this with dictionaries and lists? Yes, if nothing is selected then i don't need anything backed up. I have attached a small portion of the feature classes. ... View more

Richard, thank you for your help, i gratefully appreciate it. The reason i have two update cursors is because i need to update "only" the selected features (could be 1 or 20 or 100) of FC layer first with the first arcpy.da.UpdateCursor, then after the attributes have been updated i need to copy over the features that were updated in the first cursor to incidentsFC. I was trying to implement the InsertCursor you suggested and since none of the FC layers get copied over i used another updatecursor. The FC already has the already has "Account" and "SiteStreet, those are fileds i need to copy over to the incidentFC as well . The code you posted give me an error; Runtime error Traceback (most recent call last):   File "<string>", line 26, in <module> RuntimeError: unknown geometry token 'SHAPE@CENTROID.X' import arcpy   from datetime import datetime as d   startTime = d.now()     #set to folder where features are located   arcpy.env.workspace = r"C:\GIS\CCAP\CCAP_NEW.mdb" #on windows use \ instead of /   arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True   #---------------------------   #define variables for cursor   #---------------------------   FC = "test"   incidentsFC = "CCAP"   parcelsCount = int(arcpy.GetCount_management(FC).getOutput(0)) dsc = arcpy.Describe(FC)          rowInserter = arcpy.da.InsertCursor(incidentsFC, ["SHAPE@", 'Account', 'SiteStreet'])    selection_set = dsc.FIDSet     if len(selection_set) == 0:       print "There are no features selected"            elif parcelsCount >= 1:           with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(FC, ["FacltyType", "StructType", "Verified", "Status", "StructCat", "APA_CODE", "ACCOUNT", 'SiteStreet', 'SHAPE@CENTROID.X', 'SHAPE@CENTROID.Y']) as rows:           for row in rows:               row[0] = ("Single Family Home")                   row[1] = ("Primary, Private")                   row[2] = ("Yes, GRM, TA")                   row[3] = ("Active")                   row[4] = ("Residential")                   row[5] = ("1110")              ACCOUNT = row[6]              SiteStreet = row[7]                   X = row[8]              Y = row[9]              rows.updateRow(row)                inPoint = arcpy.PointGeometry(arcpy.Point(X,Y))               rowInserter.insertRow((inPoint, ACCOUNT, SiteStreet))  del row  del rows   del rowInserter    arcpy.RefreshActiveView()                           try:       print '(Elapsed time: ' + str(d.now() - startTime)[:-3] + ')'     except Exception, e:       # If an error occurred, print line number and error message       import traceback, sys       tb = sys.exc_info()[2]       print "Line %i" % tb.tb_lineno       print e.message  ...

Thanks for the reply Richard, i am not familiar with dictionaries and lists so am unable to incorporate your suggestions to my code. ... View more

Richard you were correct my fgdb were corrupted, thanks. I deleted and recreated them and the cursor ran FAST. Although i still have an issue. When I select one record and run either codes from above it creates the point to the backup database, but it updates the fields of all the points in the backup database with the same attribute info as the selected point. I only want it to back up and update the selected points only. I also tried selected two or more points but only creates one point on the backup database and it also updates every point as well. What adjustments do i need to make to my code to only copy and update the selected points? ... View more

The purpose of this script/tool would be that i can select one or two or 50 points at once and update just those selected points with the info in the rows = arcpy.UpdateCursor(APT). Then take those selected points and copy them to a different personal/filedatabase but with the info that was updated in the rows = arcpy.UpdateCursor(APT) and other fields. I have tried to implementing your suggestion on insert cursor and i have been able to create a point with insertcursor but it seems as the arcpy.da.UpdateCursor is still very slow. takes about 2-4 minutes to add one point to the backup data base. sometimes after testing and testing it takes 20 mins... weird The insertcursor is superfast it's the and arcpy.update cursor and arcpy.da.UpdateCursor that are super slow. Maybe i am not doing it the most efficient way... apologies my code is a little mangled import arcpy from datetime import datetime as d startTime = d.now() #set to folder where features are located arcpy.env.workspace = r"C:\CCAP_Copy_NEW.gdb" #on windows use \ instead of / arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True FC = "test" #--------------------------- #define variables for cursor #--------------------------- rows = arcpy.SearchCursor(FC) for row in rows:     geom = row.Shape     X = geom.centroid.X     Y = geom.centroid.Y del rows incidentsFC = "CCAP" # Create point inPoint = arcpy.PointGeometry(arcpy.Point(X,Y)) #Check to make sure user had at least one point is selected.  parcelsCount = int(arcpy.GetCount_management(FC).getOutput(0))  """SEARCHCURSOR""" stable = "test" sfield = ["ACCOUNT","SiteNum","OwnerName","SiteAddres","SiteNumSfx","SiteStreet","Predir"] #where clause will be written in SQL and not assigned to variable """UPDATECURSOR""" utable = "CCAP" ufield = ["ACCOUNT","SiteNum","OwnerName","SiteAddres","SiteNumSfx","SiteStreet","Predir"] #where clause will be written in SQL and not assigned to variable #Check to make sure user had at least one point is selected.    dsc = arcpy.Describe(FC) dsc = arcpy.Describe(stable)    selection_set = dsc.FIDSet  if len(selection_set) == 0:     print "There are no features selected" #-------------------------- #start the loop #-------------------------- elif parcelsCount >= 1:         rows = arcpy.UpdateCursor(FC)          for row in rows:             row.FacltyType = ("Single Family Home")                row.StructType = ("Primary, Private")                row.Verified = ("Yes, GRM, TA")                row.Status = ("Active")                row.StructCat = ("Residential")                row.APA_CODE = ("1110")                rows.updateRow(row)         del row, rows               #arcpy.Append_management(APT, fc1, "NO_TEST")         # Create the insert cursor and a new empty row         rowInserter = arcpy.InsertCursor(incidentsFC)         newIncident = rowInserter.newRow()         # Populate attributes of new row         newIncident.SHAPE = inPoint         #newIncident.setValue(descriptionField, inDescription)                  # Insert the new row into the shapefile         rowInserter.insertRow(newIncident)# Handle Exception                 del rowInserter         with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(stable, sfield) as scursor:             for srow in scursor:                 print srow                 with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(utable, ufield) as ucursor:                     for urow in ucursor:                         ucursor.updateRow(srow) arcpy.RefreshActiveView()                        try:     print '(Elapsed time: ' + str(d.now() - startTime)[:-3] + ')' except Exception, e:     # If an error occurred, print line number and error message     import traceback, sys     tb = sys.exc_info()[2]     print "Line %i" % tb.tb_lineno     print e.message arcpy.da.UpdateCursor rows = arcpy.SearchCursor(FC) for row in rows:     geom = row.Shape     X = geom.centroid.X     Y = geom.centroid.Y del rows incidentsFC = "CCAP" # Create point inPoint = arcpy.PointGeometry(arcpy.Point(X,Y)) #Check to make sure user had at least one point is selected.  parcelsCount = int(arcpy.GetCount_management(FC).getOutput(0))  dsc = arcpy.Describe(FC)    selection_set = dsc.FIDSet  if len(selection_set) == 0:     print "There are no features selected"        elif parcelsCount >= 1:        rows = arcpy.UpdateCursor(FC)      for row in rows:         row.FacltyType = ("Single Family Home")            row.StructType = ("Primary, Private")            row.Verified = ("Yes, GRM, TA")            row.Status = ("Active")            row.StructCat = ("Residential")            row.APA_CODE = ("1110")        rows.updateRow(row)                #arcpy.Append_management(APT, fc1, "NO_TEST")     # Create the insert cursor and a new empty row     rowInserter = arcpy.InsertCursor(incidentsFC)     newIncident = rowInserter.newRow()     # Populate attributes of new row     newIncident.SHAPE = inPoint     #newIncident.setValue(descriptionField, inDescription)          # Insert the new row into the shapefile     rowInserter.insertRow(newIncident)# Handle Exception      #print "No features selected."     del rowInserter     with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(FC, ['ACCOUNT', 'SiteStreet']) as parcelCursor:          for parcelRow in parcelCursor:              ACCOUNT = parcelRow[0]              SiteStreet = parcelRow[1]     with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(incidentsFC, ['Account', 'SiteStreet']) as addressCursor:          for addressRow in addressCursor:              addressRow[0] = ACCOUNT              addressRow[1] = SiteStreet              addressCursor.updateRow(addressRow)  ...

Going back to my original code, i made some modifications. It seems to some what run to my needs. my python skills are not so great. I changed line 26 on my original post from, workspace = r"C:\GIS\CCAP\CCAP.mdb"  to arcpy.env.workspace = r"C:\GIS\CCAP\CCAP.mdb". After that change the Append Management works and even refreshed fine. The only issue is that it takes 1 min to copy just one point from one layer to the other. The other thing is that i need so some times select 1 or 50 points at a time and run this scrip\tool, but i do not know how set that part up. any help would be great. Currently it can only run against one point. Current code. import arcpy APT = "TEST" fc1 = "CCAP" arcpy.env.workspace = r"C:\GIS\CCAP\CCAP_Copy_NEW.gdb" arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT") #Fill in attributes on point layer Pointcount = int(arcpy.GetCount_management(APT).getOutput(0)) if 0 < Pointcount < 2:     rows = arcpy.UpdateCursor(APT)     for row in rows:         row.FacltyType = ("Single Family Home")         row.StructType = ("Primary, Private")         row.Verified = ("Yes, GRM, TA")         row.Status = ("Active")         row.StructCat = ("Residential")         row.APA_CODE = ("1110")         rows.updateRow(row)     del row, rows else:      # Handle Exception      print "No features selected."    #Check to make sure user had at least one point is selected. #If point selected Copy to back up point layer. parcelsCount2 = int(arcpy.GetCount_management(APT).getOutput(0))  if 0 < parcelsCount2 < 2:     arcpy.Append_management(APT, fc1, "NO_TEST") else:      # Handle Exception      print "No features selected."        arcpy.RefreshActiveView() Richard you mentioned insert cursor, do have any similar code available as to what i am trying to accomplish? i would be gratefully appreciative...

I deleted line 20, ran the current code with one point selected and it updated the selected point for APT but still did not copy the feature to "CCAP". If nothing is selected and i run it it keeps repeating the process the process indicator goes from 0 to 100 and then refreshes results. I have to terminate arcmap through task manager. Maybe i am not going about this the right way? is there a batter way to do what i am trying to do? ... View more
