Hi Jonathan / Gwen, For some reason labels are enabled at the map service level rather than for each individual layer so therefore if you add the whole service to your Silverlight App then the labels should appear and turn on/off with the layer. If you add the layers individually then the labels will not appear and as far as I am aware there is not an option to turn them on. An alternative work around is to convert the labels to geodatabase annotation and then they can be added as a layer in their own right. Hope this helps Tim ... View more

Hi Akhil, Thanks for the reply. The issue we (and I presume James) are having is specifying default values at the feature template level not the geodatabase level. We have successfully created SQL Server feature classes with default values which is great but what we really want to do is to apply default values at the project/mxd/mobile service/feature template level. For example, we have a standard form for bird surveys and some of the attributes are default for all surveys which we have specified at the geodatabase level in ArcCatalog but others vary on a project basis such as project code, surveyors, visit number, etc which in theory we could set the defaults for in ArcMap feature templates but at the moment they are not maintained when creating a mobile service or mobile cache. Does this make sense? Any thoughts or ideas would be much appreciated (a homepage might well solve the problem!) Cheers Tim ... View more

Hi James Did you manage to solve this? We are up against the same issue. Cheers Tim ... View more

Hi Ivan Unfortunately this is a long running issue / deficiency which has not been solved / enabled with the current releases... We, in the UK, would like to use OS British National Grid but have to collect data in WGS84 and then transform using the geoprocessing tools... It might be solved in ArcGIS Mobile 10.2.1 or 10.3 but I'm not holding my breathe... We are now looking at Collector / developing our own Runtime Apps instead as I'm not sure there is much more development planned for ArcGIS Mobile. Hope this helps Cheers Tim ... View more

Hi Doug, Yes I uninstalled 3.2 via control panel / add remove programs and then re-installed 3.1 from downloaded exe Just to be on the safe side I made copies of the files and folders which are affected by the install - Apps, Builder, the xml files, etc Once the 3.1 install has completed you can then rename them back to their original names and replace/merge the newly created folders as required... Hope this helps - let us know if there is anything else. Cheers Tim ... View more

Hi Doug / all, I could not find a solution to this so rolled back to v3.1 which still works fine. I wasn't sure if it was an issue caused by ArcGIS 10.2.1 but can confirm it isn't for us. Would be grateful to hear any successful solutions. Cheers Tim ... View more

Hi All and Sergio in particular, We are having the same issue with Application Builder on IE10 - see attachment. It works fine when opened on the server machine where it is installed but the errors occur when opening from other machines on our network. Did anyone find a solution to this? Thanks in advance Tim ... View more

Hi there, Two possible suggestions: If you know all the keywords that the user is likely to input then you can set Filter parameter to Value List which will then allow you to enter all the possible options and when the tool is run they are a tick list. The other possibility is using a RecordSet variable with a very simple single field table as the schema... http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#//002w00000023000000 hope this helps - let us know if you need anything else Cheers Tim ...

Hi All I know this thread is quite old but having just spent all morning registering and changing permissions on folders, sharing, creating local users, etc from suggestions on this thread I found another solution which was to re-run the "Configure ArcGIS Server Account utility" - just enter the username and password (twice), click next / next (the directories should stay the same) and then Configure... BINGO...! for me I can now successfully publish and use layers and raster catalogs saved on a network share outside of our ArcGIS Server machines... hope this helps others too cheers Tim ...

morning all, I think the day is finally here...ArcGIS for Windows Mobile 10.2 is available for download from the Customer Care Portal... next question - who is going to be brave enough to give it a try...? cheers Tim ... View more

We would also appreciate this to give us time to test over the winter before the start of next survey season... Also, a list of bug fixes and enhancements would be helpful too... thanks Tim ... View more

no worries mark - if you are working in arcmap then in the first instance I would just run the code line by line in the python window: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//002100000017000000 you can then copy my code statement by statement into this, hit return after each line and see if it runs ok - you'll get red error messages if it doesn't which will help to resolve any issues - there might be a couple. when you have fixed all the niggles and run it a few times then you can save it as a python script, add to a toolbox and define your input/output parameters: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/Adding_a_script_tool/00150000001r000000/ cheers Tim ...

Hi Mark, For rows in the same table you can use a search cursor to iterate through and get the required value for each field: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//002z0000001q000000 if there are only 2 records in your table you could quickly use 2 search cursors with a where clause to get the required row values... something like: import arcpy fc = "c:/...your featureclass" use_field = "UseClass" length_field = "SUM_SHAPE_Length" # Create an expression with proper delimiters # a1expression = arcpy.AddFieldDelimiters(fc, Use_field) + " = A1" with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(fc, (use_field, length_field),                            where_clause=a1expression) as a1cursor:     for row in a1cursor:         a1value = row[1] d1expression = arcpy.AddFieldDelimiters(fc, Use_field) + " = D1" with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(fc, (use_field, length_field),                            where_clause=d1expression) as d1cursor:     for row in d1cursor:         d1value = row[1] ## you can then use a1value and d1value in an if statement to calculate the percentages in the same way as field calculator if d1value > (a1value * .2):    print "more than 20%" ## if you are running as a script tool then use arcpy.AddMessage("more than 20%") elif d1value < (a1value * .2):    print "less than 20%" ## if you are running as a script tool then use arcpy.AddMessage("less than 20%") elif d1value == (a1value * .2):    print "exactly 20%" ## if you are running as a script tool then use arcpy.AddMessage("exactly 20%") else:    print "invalid calculation - please check inputs and try again" del a1value, d1value, a1cursor, d1cursor, a1expression, d1expression, row, use_field, length_field, fc hope this makes sense - I have just typed as thought and not checked at all so might need some syntax corrections but hope it gives you the right idea.

just out of interest - why do you makefeaturelayer? and redefine selected_features? i think you should be able to simplify your script to just: import arcpy # Script arguments Selecting_Features = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) value = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1) # Local variables: Input_Points = "D:\\ArcGISData\\ESRI_GEO_EX\\GDB.gdb\\SamplePoints" # Process: Select Layer By Location arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management(Input_Points, "INTERSECT", Selecting_Features, "", "NEW_SELECTION") # Process: Calculate Field arcpy.CalculateField_management(Input_Points, "EditField", str(value), "PYTHON_9.3") thanks Tim ...
