Nice to meet everyone! I am not lying when I say that the best thing that has ever happened at an ESRI conference for me was this Monday and Tuesday during the YPN sessions at the GeoConX conference in Atlanta. To be honest, I didn't realize I could be apart of the YPN after leaving college, but at this conference I decided to go and found out quickly that isn't the case. What have I been doing at the ESRI conferences by not attending these events? With that said and that question asked I wanted to meet some of you on here and have a GeoNet Peer Connect! What are you currently doing at your job? How long have you been in GIS? How are you using GIS at your job? What made you interested in GIS? What are your goals for your career? Was your degree in GIS or did you even have to get a degree to be the expert you are? Interesting fact about yourself? Let's connect! ... View more

What does everyone do for selecting all assets associated for their projects quickly? I wanted to share what I create to do so: 1. Create a Project select model: In my current database each layer has a project # (Project_Num) field which feeds this model. Each layer I would like to select from I have placed in this model tied to the Select Layer By Attribute tool with the same expression tied to all.The only parameter is my expression of Project_Num = '****'. 2. Zoom to selected Project: After I added all the layers and tied them to the expression I added a script to zoom to the select features to get to an area fast by typing in the Project #. Here is the code for that (created in Notepad and dragged in the model last): import arcpy mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument('CURRENT') df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "Layers") [0] df.zoomToSelectedFeatures() arcpy.RefreshActiveView() 3. Making it to a tool for all to use: I wanted this to be a tool all my GIS users could use so I decided to add it to a custom tool bar. This is easy to do by:        1. Right click in blank area of ArcMap where you add a different tool bar.    2. Click Customize.    3. In the Toolbars tab click New... and name your toolbar.    4. Go to the Commands tab.    5. In Categories scroll down to [ Geoprocessing Tools ] and click it.    6. Click Add Tools..., then locate your model and add it (It will appear in the Commands window.    7. Exit out and add your new tool bar, the go back into Customize > Commands and drag your created tool from the        Commands window to the new toolbar.    **While in Customize you can click on your tool to change the name and image, such as  . Let me know what you do! ... View more
