Move points to XY coordinate

Question

I have a lot of points. In the attribute table I have the coordinates(coordx / coordy).

How can I move all points, so that they are corresponding to the coordinates value in the attribute table?

Answer 1

You may do this within field calculator, see blog:

How to Update the Location of a Point Feature and Its XY Fields

def XYsetVALUE( shape, X_value, Y_value):
   point = shape.getPart(0)
   point.X = X_value
   point.Y = Y_value
   return point

XYsetVALUE ( !SHAPE!, !X_COORD!, !Y_COORD! )

One way to do it is to use the UpdateCursor in the Python Window. Be sure to backup your data before executing:

import arcpy
feature_class=r'C:\TEST.gdb\points' #Change path and name to fc
fieldlist=['X_field','Y_field'] #Change field names to match your data
tokens=['SHAPE@X','SHAPE@Y']
with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(feature_class,fieldlist+tokens) as cursor:
    for row in cursor:
        row[2]=row[0] #Set row[2], which is SHAPE@X, to the value of row[0] which is the first field in fieldlist
        row[3]=row[1]
        cursor.updateRow(row)
