When cloning a hub, you have the ability to change the name, however the accompanying Core/Content group does not change name. It seems to stay with the original Hub name with an added 1. I think when cloning a Hub there should be a wizard to ensure the new Hub, core and content groups and URL are all changed together. ... View more

My son and I are working on a story map documenting his hockey season. I am having an issue with a certain aspect though.  I created a web map with directions from one point to another. The route layer created has 4 sublayers (Stops, DirectionPoints, DirectionLines, and RouteInfo) I have turned off all except Stops and RouteInfo. I have attached a picture of the web map we created.  When I try to add this map (yes I saved it) into the story map it goes back to the default map with all the original sublayers selected and the original styling. (Also attached - StoryMap) When I add the map in, there is the option on the left hand pane to edit the map before inserting it, however this brings me bag to the web map I created with (some layers turned off, route colour/size changed). Long story short, the map I am able to select/edit is not the map being inserted into the story map. ... View more

I am trying to figure out how convert the following: .shp to DRW (Falconview) .shp (point) to LPT (Falconview) I came across a conversation about some asking how to go from DRW to .shp, but I am looking for the opposite. Has anyone ever done this? Is it possible? Thank you ... View more

Good Morning, I am looking at ways to convert .shp files to specific Falconview file formats. The 2 conversions are: .shp to DRW .shp (point) to LPT Is anyone aware of any conversion tools to accomplish this conversion. ... View more

Hello, I am still somewhat raw with python, although I am learning and trying to develop some tools. What I do need help with is a script tool which creates an index of rasters. It was created by someone who no longer works here anymore. He was fairly advanced with python and he created a wide variety of script tools. The tool in question does almost exactly what I need, however I would like it to avoid certain file extensions (.OVR, .TOC). I am just unsure of where to place a statement in the code to have these file types ignored. Hopefully someone can help out. Here is the code #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # Description: #   Generate footprints for all raster products within a directory.

Hello, I am looking for a way to utlize an AOI in order to search for data. I deally I would like to eliminate the need to search through folders and sub folders for the data I am looking for in a specific area. I would use the AOI to extract only the data within it. I know there is a data extraction tool within the server tools toolbox, but that only extracts data from within the table of contents. I am looking to create something that will look at an actual drive on the network and create a GDB or something. Any thoughts? ... View more

Hello, I am wondering if anyone has a widget that allows a user to add a point based on a coordinate, specifically MGRS. Rather than just looking at the coordinates at the corner of the app, I would like to provide the user the ability to type in the coordinate and then place the point at that exact location. Any assistance would be of value, thank you ... View more
