Dynamic Update XY (Aeronautical)

Summary

Updates geometry or specified X, Y coordinate attributes for point feature classes. This enables you to synchronize geometry and coordinate attribute edits made on point features. If you create a point feature class from X, Y coordinates then move a point, the original X, Y attributes do not update with this change. In reverse, if you edit attribute coordinates the associated feature point does not move. The attribute coordinates in the attribute table may not always be synchronized with the feature geometry. This tool automatically updates and synchronizes your existing features.

Usage

• You need to define the settings that will determine which feature classes and fields will participate in the dynamic updates before running this tool.

• This tool always runs in foreground mode. If you run this tool with Background Processing checked on, the tool will automatically switch to foreground processing.

Syntax

DynamicUpdateXY_Aeronautical (input_feature_class_list, input_update_method, input_update_priority)

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
input_feature_class_list [input_feature_class_list,...]	The feature classes to be updated.	String
input_update_method	The update method you want to use. SELECTED_FEATURES —Default if features are selected and disabled if no features are selected. Only available in ArcMap. FULL_EXTENT —Runs on the full extent of the data—the entire dataset.	String
input_update_priority	Determines if the geometry or attribute values have priority. UPDATE_GEOMETRY —Attributes are changed to match the geometry. UPDATE_ATTRIBUTES —Geometry is changed to match the attributes.	String

Code Sample

DynamicUpdateXY example (Python window)

The following Python window script demonstrates a use of the DynamicUpdateXY function.

# Input_Feature_Classes must be set in the Dynamic Update XY Settings in Set Tool Options
# in Production Properties
Input_Feature_Classes = "ASP_PD.DBO.ADHPSurfacePoint;ASP_PD.DBO.Obstacle"

# Import the toolbox - you may have to alter this path
arcpy.ImportToolbox(r'C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\ArcToolbox\Toolboxes\Aeronautical Tools.tbx')
 
# Exec Dynamic Update XY
arcpy.DynamicUpdateXY_Aeronautical(Input_Feature_Classes, "FULL_EXTENT", "UPDATE_GEOMETRY")
