Hi there Donald, any chance you have discovered a solution, reported it as a bug, or seen this issue otherwise resolve itself? I will be submitting this to ESRI tech support for guidance and will reference your post, but thought you might also have some insight! We just discovered the same issue today in AGserver 10.3 and were able to work around it by unchecking the "invert" property on the layer symbology as well. Do you recall for what data type you discovered this problem? We have seen it on file based, RLE compressed IMG files and wondered if it is specific to that data type or a broader problem. Our next problem is that we have 1200 map documents created by external folks and don't know if any others use the invert property - I'm a python coder but this property is only exposed in ArcObjects.

It would be nice to be able to detect this information in python with a previous version to trap errors!!  For example: I am working with 10.0 and trying to open and manipulate map documents. Currently I get a fatal error when trying to list the data frames in a map document that is 10.1 - nonetype object is not callable. I supposed I can check for "None" to be returned on the arcpy.mapping.mapdocument(myfile) and trap for it, but I would like to be able to report back an informative error message to the user, instead of "Gee, I don't know what happened" THanx! ...

I do believe there is an option to do this, but I think it does require annotation as you mention. I agree that it should be possible without having to convert to annotation! ... View more
