I made this function for adding a string date field. Hope it helps someone: def addStringDate(gdbname,tablename,datefieldname): arcpy.AddField_management(in_table=gdbname+"/"+tablename, field_name=datefieldname+"_STR", field_type="TEXT", field_precision="", field_scale="", field_length="10", field_alias="", field_is_nullable="NULLABLE", field_is_required="NON_REQUIRED", field_domain="") arcpy.CalculateField_management(in_table=gdbname+"/"+tablename, field=datefieldname+"_STR", expression="arcpy.time.ParseDateTimeString( !"+datefieldname+"!).strftime('%Y%m%d')", expression_type="PYTHON", code_block="")‍‍‍ ...

Super cool! A perfect example of why pie charts are terrible obviously but cool nonetheless. I'm going to have a go. ... View more

There's a lot of talk here about people being too used to ArcMap. The way I see it that is not the problem. Pro is awful. It's unstable and missing important features. Some of the features that are present are so bad it's ridiculous (who wants to talk legends? The thing is the same could be said about ArcMap. It was falling behind and it was getting to the stage where it would never catch up with Quantum without an entire redesign. Yes the ESRI online stuff is awesome but if you want to do actual GIS then your best bet right now is a free application. Not an excellent state of affairs for ESRI! It's very lucky for them that most organisations won't touch open source with a 10ft barge pole. At the end of the day though ArcPro is currently in version 1 so what do you expect. It has seen significant improvements in the past couple of years but yes it is still a buggy unfinished mess and absolutely horrible to work with. I can understand why newbies might prefer the style at first glance and I'm sure those of use who were students in the ArcMap years have some stories of utter hatred to tell but believe me the advantage ends there unless you work in 3D which you probably don't. Personally I'm keeping my eye on it. I regularly attempt projects in it (I say attempt because it usually transpires that the feature I need is missing, half baked or broken) and I'll roll it out to the organisation when it's actually ready. Until then we're stuck on the antiquated and always lively ArcMap but make no mistake I can't wait for the day we can finally ditch it in favour of stable 64 bit goodness.  We just need to get ESRI to listen to their users. This is something I think they've always had trouble with. Please don't forget the basics. GIS is more than pretty pictures. We need a basic suite of reliable software to work with and for the past 2 or 3 years or so I would say you don't have a product. At least not one that I would buy if we weren't so heavily invested. Yes the online stuff is cool. We see that but it's not the be all and end all for your users. ... View more

It all looks good to me. Maybe someone can spot the issue in the config file here. I know the builder is notoriously bad at writing this file. <ESRI.Configuration xmlns="http://schemas.esri.com/Desktop/AddIns" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><Name>Select by Location</Name><AddInID>{e002960a-47b7-48cd-a903-93e51be400f7}</AddInID><Description>New Addin</Description><Version>0.1</Version><Image>Images\AddInDesktop32.png</Image><Author>Untitled</Author><Company>Untitled</Company><Date>10/24/2016</Date><Targets><Target name="Desktop" version="10.4" /></Targets><AddIn language="PYTHON" library="SelectbyLocation_addin.py" namespace="SelectbyLocation_addin"><ArcMap> <Commands> <Button caption="Select by Location" category="Select by Location" class="ButtonClass1" id="SelectbyLocation_addin.button" image="Images\SelectionSelectByLocation16.png" message="Select by Location" tip="Select by Location"><Help heading="Select by Location">Select by Location</Help></Button> </Commands> <Extensions> </Extensions> <Toolbars> <Toolbar caption="select by location" category="Select by Location" id="SelectbyLocation_addin.toolbar" showInitially="true"><Items><Button refID="SelectbyLocation_addin.button" /></Items></Toolbar> </Toolbars> <Menus> </Menus> </ArcMap></AddIn></ESRI.Configuration>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

Thanks. Unfortunately this just gives me >>>SelectByLocation( You may have helped my indirectly though. When I ran the tool afterwards with the python window open it said ButtonClass1 object is not callable. I'll go back and check my class definitions to see if this is the problem. ... View more
