Shapefile not displaying points (vertices) in ArcMap

Question

this code finds all the vertices of every census tract for the state of California and Colorado. The code runs, and creates a shapefile with all proper filled fields (totpop, XCoord,YCoord, area1 etc.). The problem now is that nothing is displaying when I add the shapefile on ArcMAP, however, when I open the attribute table, all the fields are filled.

                               cursor1.insertRow([Xcoord,Ycoord,stateNAME,countyname,totalPOP, idpoly, idobject, stateFIPS, countyFIPS, fips, fipSnum, fipsNumer, totarea])

del cursor, cursor1

print "this works yo!"

Answer 1

Your Insert Cursor field list is adding attributes only. You need to include SHAPE@XY in your field list, and pass the XCoord and YCoord info to them:

cursor1 = arcpy.da.InsertCursor(out_shp,["SHAPE@XY", "XCoord", "YCoord", "STATE_NAME", "NAME", "totpop", "POLY_ID", "OBJECTID", "STATE_FIPS", "CNTY_FIPS", "FIPS", "FIPSnum","FIPS_NUMER","area1"])
cursor1.insertRow([(XCoord, YCoord), Xcoord, Ycoord, stateNAME, countyname, totalPOP, idpoly, idobject, stateFIPS, countyFIPS, fips, fipSnum, fipsNumer, totarea])

This will pass your X & Y Coordinates to the SHAPE property of your feature, and not just as an attribute into XCoord and YCoord fields.
