Hi everyone, I'm wondering if it might be possible to download an entire public (municipal) ArcGIS site for offline use. I'm taking time off soon and want to work on a personal project but internet will be spotty at best. Apologies in advance if I have posted in the wrong forum. Thank you, Sarah ArcGIS Pro 2.8.0   ...

I"m a new, self-taught user and could use some advice. I'm working with municipal property SHP files. I decided to add a calculated field for a file in order to track a key metric. I did a spatial join of two SHP files then performed the add join with the two column (the common field and the common field). While AGP almost instantly announced "Add Join Completed" the program was unusable for 13 minutes while the add join completed. All data is stored locally (though I'm not sure whether AGP phones home nevertheless), and my computer passed the ESRI online test. There are about 70k rows. AGP warned me that neither the shape file nor the two-column table were indexed. I started searching the issue and came across an ESRI treatment but it's too technical for me -- the page contains code sample and I am not a programmer. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/data- management/add-spatial-index.htm Is there anything a non-programmer like me can do to speed things up? Thanks. ... View more

Hi everyone, I'm new to GIS and I'm in over my head. I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. I'm working with municipal parcels and need to perform some proximity analysis: Number of parcels zoned residential that are adjacent to, or within X units of distance from, parcels zoned industrial. This is a polygon shape file with no need for reference to another data source. Number of parcels zoned residential that face streets with certain street attributes (posted speed limit, if it's a hazardous waste route, etc). This requires the parcel shape file mentioned above but also a second shape (line) file which contains these street features. Is there a way to easily identify parcels on corners (at intersections)? I've spent hours online looking for solutions but I haven't had any success so far. I had assumed this type of analysis would be relatively easy for me but either I'm wrong or my search skills are lacking. I've read about proximity analysis and polygon neighbors, and I'm still stumped. If anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sarah ... View more
