Yes, I have a large wall map that I am updating. There are a total of 8 grid pages orientation in portrait. I measured the whole entire map at 117 width and 77 height. Each grid page measures at 27 width and 40 height. The plotter I am using is a Cannon iPF785. I have set the custom size to 27 x 40 , 29 x 44. The results the tile map printing only gives me 4 tiles. When I increase the width and height the tiles change to 2 pages. Even when I size down for the width and height; the number of print tiles are 4. What am I doing wrong? How can I make the tile print scale to match and print at exactly 8 pages.  I am not sure if Data Driven Pages would work with a map grid then print to the 27 x 40 for each page.  ... View more

I have three layers that i exported from our sde database; I am editing in a file geodatabase.  I have a streets layer that is large file, a neighborhood polygon medium size file and a stream layer small file size.  The computer is a laptop, I use running on windows 10  64 bit . with an Intel processor 3.10ghz and with 16gb ram. My computer runs slow when I edit in ArcMap and even when i try to pan , zoom  in or out in a  mxd document.  Does this have anything to do with having only 16gb of ram. The data i am trying to edit is annotation in the file geodatabase.  I have created new mxd documents and the same thing occurs ; ArcMap runs slow and stops responding. Even simple field calculations ArcMap runs very slow and sometimes does not complete the task when I try to do a field calculation.  ... View more

Yes I have a couple layers that I have exported out of an sde database and I created a file geodatabase to create annotation labels within the database. Is there a shortcut to edit the labels or do I have to select each label individually to edit. Also, when I convert annotation for a larger layer for streets as a feature linked or append a overflow stack error pops up and I am missing a lot of street names. Finally,  When I convert layers from an sde database to a file geodatabase either the subtype is greyed out or I do not have the option to select a particular attribute field to use as a subtype.  ...

I have a  question in regards to the maplex labeling tool.  Is it necessary  to set the labels to annotation by converting the labels from maplex tool.  How different is maplex from the standard labeling. I set my street labels to maplex and then tested by converting to annotation; I could tell the maplex before annotations were converted labels looked better. I am new to using maplex and i am trying to distinguish which labeling tool to use.  Also, which is better to use for maplex ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro? ... View more

I am taking an ESRI Training course called getting started with ArcGIS Pro. The Exercise Perform visual analysis of 3d data.  In Step 4 i have to change the feature class layer building damaged symbology to 7 classifications but when i do change the classification to 7 the symbology is set to a single classification to which i cannot get out of. Also, the buildingdamaged feature class to do a field calculation for field name damaged i used the arcade script $feature.damaged *25 either the results are 0 or 625.  I am unable to finish this exercise to where i am unable to create a 3d layer. I am using ArcGIS Pro 2.1. ... View more
