Select polygons that overlap with other polygons within a single feature class
3
$begingroup$
I am running a script to identify polygons that overlap with other polygons within the same layer. I have managed to do this with the code below but the problem is that it is very slow (about 3 seconds per feature).
Is there anything I can do to improve its performance?

# Get the OBJECTID of row and use it to select row
arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management("lyr_existing_cadastre", "NEW_SELECTION", ""OBJECTID" = " + str(row[0]))
# Copy row into a new feature class called row
arcpy.Append_management("lyr_existing_cadastre", "lyr_row", "NO_TEST")
# Remove row from the input
arcpy.DeleteFeatures_management("lyr_existing_cadastre")
# Select all features that intersect with row and copy them into the row feature class
arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management("lyr_existing_cadastre", "WITHIN", "lyr_row", selection_type="NEW_SELECTION")

# If there is more than one feature in the row feature class
# meaning there was something else in addition to row then delete those overlaps

if (int(arcpy.GetCount_management("lyr_row").getOutput(0)) > 1):
arcpy.DeleteFeatures_management("lyr_existing_cadastre")
arcpy.Append_management("lyr_row", "lyr_Overlapping_Polygons", "NO_TEST")
