  I have been working with map image layers and I love the ability to make pop up changes in one map and have the changes fillter out into other maps that contain the same map image layer. I was doing some more testing and I noticed that I can do this with visibility range but not with transparency. It seems like transparency should also be able to change in one map image layer and filter across to other web maps becasue when I change transparency the "Save Layer" button at the bottom of the options drop down becomes un-reyed out. Bellow I have put a description of how I use map image layers to make changes to pop ups across multiple maps to help clearify my idea.   Now the very handy part of using map image layers. Lets say we add a map image layer called "HSIP Boundaries Federal" to two maps, "map A" and "map B".    Now the pop ups for all of the layers in this HSIP Service are disabled. So I enable pop ups on all of the layers in map A. Here is the magical part, if I click the "Save Layer" button at the bottom of the options list the changes I just made will show up in map B!   This functionality works with Pop up configurations, and visibility range. Unfortunately it does not work with transparency.   Hope you find this helpful, ... View more

We have a significant number map services in a number of AGO maps.  Many of these services come from secure  ArcServer services that we have diligently created Map image layer files for.  We have then embed these layer files with the user name and password to the services.  The one issue we have is if the user clicks on the "Description" button for one of the layers in the service they get the following error: ArcGIS Portal Directory | Home Login | Signup | Generate Token Error You do not have permissions to access this resource or perform this operation. Error: 403 Is there anyway to bybass this error?  We would really like them to be able to get to the metadata for the individual layers.  We do have url's for each of those metadata files, and we have currently embeded the url in the description found with the ArcServer rest endpoint for the services. Thoughts or ways to not have this rather unintelligent result occur to our users? Thanks you for your help ... View more

I have a strange behavior in ArcGIS Online when using Firefox.  I get the text "No Legend" on the Content Tab under my layers in the map service if I do the following: 1) Expand the layer so I can see the legend, before the layer turned on and then 2) Enable popups. For the rest of the live of the map the layer will not show its legend in the contents tab (ie just text "No Legend" will appear), however it will show it in the legend tab. The work around is: 1) Don't expand the layer first 2) Turn the layer on 3) Enable the popup The other work around if you screwed up is: 1) Disable the popup 2) I then can see the lend under the layer in the contents tab In the above case I am using a secured layer from ArcServer 10.3.1 over https.  This layer has first been created using the equivelent of a layer file in AGO, by first ...

I am brand new to this, so sorry if this is a silly question.  When I start CityEngine, I go through the wizard and set the setting per the virtual training class (http://training.esri.com/Courses/CEStart/player.cfm ).  Once I walk through the wizard it starts to create the city (right after clicking "Finish" on the Rules page, it bows up and vaporieze.  Andy ideas.  It does kick out these nice log files.  See attached. ...
