I use an old ESRI developed batch define (projection) script in a model and it was working until recently. The script has not been altered, so I am unsure of what sparked the change in performance. Here is the error I am getting: Executing: DefineDIAGRID M:\EDS_Library\Scratch_Workspace\Ashley\Default.gdb\newRWsigns_dwg_Polyline_og;M:\EDS_Library\Scratch_Workspace\Ashley\Default.gdb\newRWsigns_dwg_Polygon_og Start Time: Wed Sep 26 14:57:53 2012 Executing (Batch Define Coordinate System): BatchDefine M:\EDS_Library\Scratch_Workspace\Ashley\Default.gdb\newRWsigns_dwg_Polyline_og;M:\EDS_Library\Scratch_Workspace\Ashley\Default.gdb\newRWsigns_dwg_Polygon_og PROJCS['DIA_GRID',GEOGCS['GCS_North_American_1983',DATUM['D_North_American_1983',SPHEROID['GRS_1980',6378137.0,298.257222101]],PRIMEM['Greenwich',0.0],UNIT['Degree',0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION['Lambert_Conformal_Conic'],PARAMETER['False_Easting',-142028.98],PARAMETER['False_Northing',-679801.16],PARAMETER['Central_Meridian',-105.5],PARAMETER['Standard_Parallel_1',38.45],PARAMETER['Standard_Parallel_2',39.75],PARAMETER['Scale_Factor',1.00024481],PARAMETER['Latitude_Of_Origin',37.83333333333334],UNIT['Foot_US',0.3048006096012192]] # Start Time: Wed Sep 26 14:57:53 2012 Running script BatchDefine... <type 'exceptions.SyntaxError'>: EOF while scanning triple-quoted string literal (BatchDefineSR.py, line 94) Failed to execute (Batch Define Coordinate System).

Hi, I have a WMX workflow that launches a .mxd. The .mxd contains a Task Assistant workflow that asks the user to use the "Load Objects" command (Customize > Customize Mode > Commands > Data Converters > Load Objects). This command does not work from a map launched from WMX, but it works from a map that is not launched from WMX. Is this a known issue? ArcGIS 10 sp 4 WMX 10 sp 4 TAM 10 sp 4 Windows 7 ... View more

I use the "Hide Toolbar(s)" command from the "Task Manager Utilities" in a Task Assistant Manager workflow in order to limit the user experience in ArcMap. I set up the "Command Parameters" to hide all toolbars with the exception of just a few. This command works if some of the toolbars already exist in the user's ArcMap. However, when a user enacts the command and those toolbars do not exist in the user's ArcMap the toolbars that should be hidden then all pop up in ArcMap (not docked).  Is there an issue with this command? ...
