Using Attribute Assistant Intersecting Feature method to populate target polygon feature field from another source polygon feature layer.  I was assuming the Intersecting Feature method was using the centroid of the target polygon feature to get the field info from the source polygon, but found that it using the "intersect feature" and not "centroid."  This is causing the target polygon layer to acquire values when the polygon does not have an underlying source polygon, but touches the edge or an underlying polygon.  Please add option(s) to the Intersecting Feature method to allow using centroid of target feature.  Better yet, add most if not all of the "Select by Location" options found in that tool for the type of intersection to perform. ...

It would be useful to be able to programatically add new Text Elements to Map documents using arcpy. Ex: For map templates, add Text Element with size of map, then Make Thumbnail, followed by deleting the newly createdText Element with map size and finally save the map.  This would allow users to see the map size on map templates similar to those that Esri provides. ...

Please add the version information to the Map Document Properties. ... View more

From time-to-time, one needs to re-create Replication.  I use ModelBuild when creating Replications to document what is being replicated, etc.  Then when it comes to needing to re-create a Replica, I have a model (or script, if exported to Python) to readly run... the only problem is that at 10.1, there are not tools (ArcToolbox or Arcpy) that allow one to "unregister" the exiting Replicas in the Source and Target GDBs. Please consider creating tools to "Unregister" Replicas so one can automate the process of re-creating Replicas and not have to "Unregister" then manually! ... View more

When preforming "field Mapping" in Merge, Append, Make FC/Table, etc, the Add Input window that shows available fields for mapping is too narrow.  It can be made wider to find fields that have a long path, but changes in the window's width is not remembered for the next "Add Input" selections.  This cause extra mouse clicks to widen the window each time a new new field is mapped.  This is very un-productive! Suggestion(s): Either - 1) Have the code "remember" the window width that the use sets, like many ArcGIS windows already do - or - 2) Auto-set the window's width based on the length of the Name field for the fields being mapped ...
