Challenging Times With Python And Arcpy For Arcgis Pro

Turning mapping requirements from stakeholders into automated PDF maps

What you'll learn
Build ArcPy applications for Map Automation using ArcGIS Pro
Translate user mapping requirements into ArcPy solutions




Requirements
You should be comfortable using ArcGIS Pro for mapping
You should be comfortable using ArcPy for simple tasks
You should be comfortable using a Python IDE of your choice (the course videos show IDLE)
You may find completing Map Automation using Python and ArcPy for ArcGIS Pro first would be an advantage, but is not required

Description
Have you ever been asked to automate a mapping task, which starts out from a very simple set of requirements, only to have more requirements emerge each time you show the stakeholders your solution?
Being skilled, and agile enough, to keep meeting expanding requirements is guaranteed to delight your stakeholders, and give you immense personal satisfaction, for a job well done.

In this course, I’ll go through such a scenario, by setting a few initial requirements, that I would like you to meet using Python and ArcPy for ArcGIS Pro, and encouraging you to try and do that, before providing my solution to those requirements.

I’ll then expand upon those requirements, encourage you to upgrade your solution, and then provide my solution to the new requirements.

So that you are not kept in the dark about our end goal, I’ve attached a multi-page PDF file to the course, which illustrates the output of the final requirements. If you view that and think, “I wish I knew how to do that”, then this is the course for you!

In this course of 26 lectures, which is suitable for English-speaking students from anywhere in the world, things that you will use and learn include:

ArcGIS Pro Project, Map and Layout authoring

Layer configuration options

Python string formatting

Using ArcGISProject, Map, Layout, MapFrame objects

Placing a graticule around a MapFrame

Defining queries on Layers

Using Camera, Extent and Describe objects

Using tools like Sort, MultipartToSinglepart, Select, GetCount

Building a test harness with performance timing

Using Search, Update and Insert Cursors

Using Cursors to work with both attribute and geometry fields

Using Python arrays of Point geometries to construct Polygon geometries

Using Python for loops within loops to construct table cells as features

Writing Python functions and modules

Using Python’s time module

Creating and using Python dictionaries

Cloning Graphics and Text Elements to Add Tables to Layouts

Converting Decimal Degrees into Degrees, Minutes and Seconds with cardinal direction

Creating polygon feature classes to represent table outlines and shading

Creating point feature classes to represent table text

Using attribute driven symbology to display hexadecimal colours

Splitting tables across pages while retaining header row

Replacing data sources of feature layers by updating their connection properties

Creating a PDF document object and appending pages into it

Plus much more.
