More Python, Update Curser Lesson (Module 8 of 9)

This video lesson, provided by the GeoTech Center, is from the eighth module of the Python and Geospatial Mapping course, titled More Python. The course is designed for experienced users of Global Information Systems (GIS) platforms who are new to programming, with the goal of teaching them how to use Python to automate processes through the construction of short scripts in ArcGIS Pro.

This lesson covers the UpdateCurser Python command from the arcpy command library included with ArcGIS Pro. UpdateCurser takes a specific value in a certain column and changes it to a different value, offering the ability to automate the process of correcting errors. Vince DiNoto, director of the GeoTech Center, guides learners through an example script that utilizes UpdateCurser to replace the improper form of a word with the proper form in one column.

The video runs 10:23 minutes in length. Additional resources from the Python and Geospatial Mapping course are available to view separately.
