What ESRI tools/api-s are available to create/update administrative feature classes (Suburb, County) from ESRI Parcel Fabric? Details: We have an ESRI Parcel Fabric that contains continuous coverage: Lots, Water features, Roads etc Can we have administrative polygons generated/updated as result of geometry change in, for example, Lots? Does ESRI have it built-in in a ESRI Parcel Fabric in ArcGIS Pro? ... View more

Hi, We have an AddIn that using some our DLL .Net libraries. The libraries are updated from time to time. To make sure AddIn uses the updated DLL's assembly version, both (AddIn and DLL) are using .Net strong name signing. How to enable .Net strong name verification properly?  Whatever steps to enable are, should it be on developer's machine? on user's machine? on both? In fact, we added "Signing" in VisualStudio. It appears not working when updating DLL. AddIn continues to load a DLL with "wrong" version number. Environment VisualStudio 2017 .Net 4.7.0 ArcObjects 10.6.1 ... View more

Hi, We have a problem working with a view. The view is created in ArcCatalog  - right click on a database connection - create a View - use SQL "select x0.objectid as f1, x0.any_field as f2 from TABLE_NAME x0" Both fields are Long Integer. Looking to the properties of the view crashes ArcCatalog without any error message. ArcGIS 10.6.1 Informix 12.1 ... View more

Hi, We need to find a way to catch an OnClose() event of a custom dockable window in ArcMap. OnVisibleChanged() does not have an updated base.Visible property (it is every time "true"). C# ArcMap 10.6.1 ... View more

We need to copy an annotation feature (not feature linked) and move 10 metres. Two issues: A new annotation is drawn behind old one A new annotation is not moved IFeatureClass pFeatCls = pSourceAnnotationFeature.Class as IFeatureClass; IFeature pNewAnnoFeature = pFeatCls.CreateFeature(); CopyAttributes(pSourceAnnotationFeature, ref pNewAnnoFeature); IClone pCloneGeometry = (IClone)pSourceAnnotationFeature.Shape; IGeometry pShapeCopyGeometry = (IGeometry)pCloneGeometry.Clone(); ITransform2D pTransform2D = pShapeCopyGeometry as ITransform2D; pTransform2D.Move( 10, 0); pNewAnnoFeature.Shape = pShapeCopyGeometry; (pNewAnnoFeature as IAnnotationFeature).Annotation.Geometry = pShapeCopyGeometry; pNewAnnoFeature.Store(); ArcMap.Document.ActiveView.Refresh(); ...

When changes are made to an add-in, and the new version of the add-in is installed in ArcMap, the new version is displayed in the Add-In Manager. However, the changes might not get updated in the dynamic link libraries (DLLs) located in the AssemblyCache folder, and the previous version of the add-in might remain. Problem: Changes are not made to updated versions of an add-in installed in ArcMap  So, my question is "Is it wrong to clean (remove all subfolders recursively) AssemblyCache folder?"  Programmatically,  X seconds after ArcMap was closed. There are no other user-installed add-ins on user machine.   ArcMap 10.6.1 C# ... View more

Hi, We have to convert two COM registered command buttons to Add-in buttons. When any button clicked, a message appears and both buttons should be disabled. It worked "anonymously" in COM.  In "COM" code we have  private static void DisableButtons(string progId, bool isEnabled) { UID pUID = new UID(); pUID.Value = progId; ICommandItem pItem = ArcMap.Application.Document.CommandBars.Find(pUID, false, false); IComponentAvailable pAvailable = pItem.Command as FirstButton.IComponentAvailable; pAvailable.IsEnabled = isEnabled; } In "Add-in" code we need to have AddIn.FromID() method public static class AddIn {    public static T FromID<T>(string id) where T : class; } e.g.  AddIn.FromID<FirstButtonClass>(progId); which means we must explicitly use reference to a Class Name (FirstButtonClass, SecondButtonClass). It will create a circular reference and will not work on Bamboo deployment (However, it builds ok on a local machine) case "Test_FirstButton":    pAvailable = AddIn.FromID<FirstButtonClass>(progId); break; case "Test_SecondButton":    pAvailable = AddIn.FromID<SecondButtonClass>(progId); // WE SHOULD NOT USE "SecondButtonClass" here. It will raise circular dependency error on aBamboo deployment break; Question: can we use another ArcObjects API to disable buttons? We cannot change the architecture. Each button exists in its own .Net solution. See the attached simple projects. C#, ArcObjects 10.6.1  ... View more

Is it possible to get a DefaultConnectionInfo? There is an ISetDefaultConnectionInfo interface, could we have a "get"? http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcobjects/latest/net/webframe.htm#c778d2bb-eb36-4793-9c89-20795811c5eb.htm  ArcObjects C#, ArcMap 10.6.1 ... View more

We are deploying a number of AddIns for ArcMap. Should be ESRI.ArcGIS.Desktop.AddIns.dll included in every *.esriAddIn? For development, C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\DeveloperKit10.6\bin\ESRI.ArcGIS.Desktop.AddIns.dll is used. C#, ArcMap 10.6.1 ... View more
