Hello, I would like to add a representation to ~400 point feature classes I have in four different feature datasets. They are all within the same file geodatabase. I have tried using the "Add Representation" tool in order to accomplish this, using unique values that are consistent across the feature classes. When I add the representation, the categories show up properly (i.e.., BND, TOP, BOT, PTBOT, based on a field called "Code"). However, whenever I use it, it dumps all the points in the "all other values" category rather than in the appropriate categories. I have tried this using a rule that I manually applied to one of the feature classes. I have also tried this using a layer file with the appropriate symbology. As I mentioned, it shows the symbology I set up in both cases, but all points are only in the "all other values" category. Is this not how "Add Representations" works? I must be missing something here, and I would hate to have to do this manually (or have to learn more Python first). Thank you!

Thank you, Kelly! Creating a replica using the first link worked. It's a shame that I can't do it normally (i.e., exporting to FGDB from the item details), but I'm glad there's some way to do it.

Hello, I have a hosted feature layer that I was using in Collector over the course of a three week field project. I have tried exporting this layer to a FGDB in order to download the attachments, but the FGDB appears to be corrupted in some way, because 7zip always spits out an "unexpected end of data" error, and the FGDB is unreadable in ArcCatalog. Some details: This is a point layer, with ~3000 points, each with photo attachments and several fields of descriptive data. The size is now 2045 mb. At the end of weeks 1 and 2, I had no issue exporting to FGDB and using a script to download the attachments. It's only after week 3 (when it surpassed the 2 gb mark) that I have encountered this issue. When I export to FGDB online, everything appears to be in order. However, I have the above-mentioned issue every time I export a new one and then try and download and unzip it. Also, when I try and create a new hosted layer from the FGDB online, it won't add to a map. The hosted feature layer functions properly in online maps. All the attachments load just fine. Is this a size issue? I recall seeing some mention of size limitations in past versions, but nothing specific to this situation. Thank you!

That did it! Thanks for pointing this document out. I wish Esri's technical article was as detailed.

This looks like just what I need. Thank you! Going to give it a try.

Hello, I think there is something fundamental that I am missing about publishing tile packages from ArcMap 10.5. I am trying to use a custom basemap. However, I experience the incomplete publishing problem (i.e. levels 15-19 are not fully published) highlighted in this technical article: Problem: Hosted tiled map services do not publish as expected in ArcGIS Online I made sure that ArcMap uses the extent of data in all layers, so it shouldn't be clipped. I even try the publish tile option in the item details of the hosted tile layer, but it never actually changes. What am I missing? Do I need to do something with "Generate Tile Cache" while in ArcMap? Thank you!

I'm having this issue with my map as well. Everything is set up according to this: Go offline—Collector for ArcGIS | ArcGIS Has anyone found a solution?

Also, I encountered a similar problem where some line features couldn't update edits when "Keep track of created and updated features." was checked off in the feature settings.

It seems to be connected to the "Optimize Layer Drawing" setting. If I have that checked off on a template, the subsequent layer that is created will not send updates in Collector.

I am trying to make my own Feature Layer template for collecting polylines via Collector. The template would save me a lot of time in the field, as I wouldn't have to configure as much of the pop-up or other settings. For some reason, when I create a Feature Layer from a preexisting Layer that doesn't have all the options set*, make the necessary changes**, and test it: it works. However, when I then try and create subsequent Layers from that newly created and updated one: I get an error that reads "Update Failed: Updates could not be sent. The operation couldn't be completed. Invalid column name 'Shape_3'", and so on. Whenever I try and make a new layer from the old one, and go to the trouble to change all the settings, it works. Whenever I then try and make a new layer from that newly made and updated one, it doesn't. *The preexisting layer was, itself, created from earlier layers. These are just polylines. The only field I've added is a "Loci" long integer field. There is no editor tracking. The pop-up is just configured to show the FID. **The new layer I try and create is the same, except I've added the editor tracking, and configured the pop-up title and attributes differently. I am using an organizational administrative account through AGOL.

This would also be incredibly helpful for my team's project. Right now we rely on the FID's auto-increments and then copy those values to an id field afterwards.

Fantastic, thank you Xander! This has been immensely helpful. We're out in the field for a limited amount of time and you have no idea how important these things were.

‎06-13-2015

So the idea is to start with a double A (i.e. AA) through, in this case, GR. Here is the error: Runtime error Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 54, in <module> File "<string>", line 22, in main RuntimeError: cannot open 'C:\JVRP\Legio_Grid.shp' I get the same error after switching off line 40. I think part of the problem, at least, is the feature class location... The data source says the database is in a location separate from the shapefile. edit: Yeah, that was creating the error. Now the issue is that the first square in the grid is A0, as opposed to AA1.

‎06-12-2015

Hi Xander, I am hoping you can help clarify a couple things for me, please. I am playing around with the script a bit, trying to make different grid schemes. I am getting errors on lines 22 and 54. Will the cursor be totally different if I am just doing an AA through GS grid? I also cut down lines 49-56 to # AA through GS Return col Is that correct? Sorry to trouble you and thanks so much for your time and expertise!

‎06-10-2015

Thank you very much for the list of resources! The explanation of the code helps immensely as well. I've played around with R a bit and they seem pretty similar.
