Go to XY tool in ArcMap 10.3

[HaniDraidi]

I could not figure out why the "Go to XY" tool does not work, I click on the tool icon, and no thing appears! It was working well with ArcMap 10.2.2 ,What might be the problem here?

Note: Product version is 10.3.0.4322

Thank you and Best Regards,

Hani

Hi, there. "Go to XY" tool on ArcMap 10.3,  works with the 10.2.2 licence manager but not with 10.3 licence manager

Hi Hani,

Use the below code up to they are fixing the GOTOXY

COPY THE BELOW CODES TO A NOTEPAD AND SAVE AS GOTO.PY (WITH PYTHON EXTENSION)

import arcpy

xyCoordString = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)

xStr,yStr = xyCoordString.split(",")

xFloat = float(xStr)

yFloat = float(yStr)

mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT")

df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd)[0]

newExtent = df.extent

newExtent.XMin, newExtent.YMin = xFloat - 5, yFloat - 5

newExtent.XMax, newExtent.YMax = xFloat + 5, yFloat + 5

df.extent = newExtent

arcpy.RefreshActiveView()

Steps.

1 Open ArcCatalogue

2 Tool Boxes- Mytool Box- Right Clk- Add New Script

3 Chang the VALUES in Add Script Window Such as name & Label

4. Select the GOTO.PY

5 In the parameters tab under Display add "Enter X,Y" with "string" as a data type .

6 Finish

Script is helpful to go to x,y If map unit in meters, but it is not possible to add point at given location. My tool is also not working, I deleted Normal.mxt, Repair Installation, I have two PC. Problem is same on both PC. With windows 10.

Sometimes the graphic defaults get set to transparent and it makes a marker that can't be seen.  You can change the default graphic settings in the Drawing toolbar drop down under Default Symbol Properties.  Other times I can't make it work and have no idea why, in which case I just make a junk shapefile to find coordinates as its faster.  The tool isn't very functional.
