I'm trying to set an arcpy da insert cursor to iterate through a dictionary that adds in the rhino's name. I'm missing a code that would loop through the cursor. def rhinoTracker(Rhino, X, Y, dictionary):     # Sets the variable for arcpy.Point     vertex = arcpy.Point(X, Y)     # If the Rhino is in the dictionary, points are added.     if Rhino in dictionary:         vertexArray = dictionary[Rhino]         vertexArray.add(vertex)         #print str(dictionary.values())             # If the Rhino is not in the dictionary, an array created.     else:         vertexArray = arcpy.CreateObject("Array")         vertexArray.add(vertex)         dictionary[Rhino] = vertexArray         #print str(dictionary.values())             #for Rhino in dictionary:         print "This the key {0}".format(Rhino)         print "These are {0}'s points {1}".format(Rhino, dictionary[Rhino])         print "{0} has {1} points".format(Rhino, str(len(dictionary[Rhino]))) #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Imports the csv and arcpy modules. import csv import arcpy # Sets up the workspace environment and overwrite output. arcpy.env.workspace = "E:\College\Penn State\GEOG 485\Lesson 4\JHorwitz_Lesson4_Submission\Shapefiles" arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Sets a path for the folder containing the shapefile.

I'm currently new to python and working on a Class Project trying to create multiple polylines based on the tracking of Rhinos. I have the approach right, but I somehow have the variables switched around. The Rhino would be the key value, and the points would have to be added into it. The example would be "Rhino : {(Point 1),(Point 2)}". Somehow I can't get it. I can get the polyline to form, but I only get one giant line and not a multiple set of polylines based on the Rhino. Here is the script I have written down.(re-edited to just the definition of the function) def rhinoTracker(Rhino, X, Y, dictionary): XYCoord = (X, Y)    if Rhino not in dictionary:    dictionary[Rhino]= [] dictionary[Rhino].append((XYCoord))‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

I've created an address locator for only just street names (no numbers and line shape). However, when using the geocoding tools in ArcGIS(5.1), the tools would that the address is not found. I typed the street name in the correct spelling, but is not showing up for some reason. Is there something I'm missing for an address locator with just only in street name form? Also: When I did this for single house locator(points) it works just fine. ... View more

I've downloaded the 10.5 program last month and haven't had any problems until now. I just tried starting up one of the programs (ArcMap, ArcCatalog etc.) and it just stays on the initialization screen. I've tried uninstalling and re-downloading the program, but I still get the same issue. I have a Windows 10 operating system that I've been using since last February with ArcGIS 10.4 and haven't had issues with that. If anyone can help me out that would be great. ... View more
