Kevin, You can do this through the sequence of Symbology screens in the image   >  Symbol Selector > Symbol Property Editor > Line Decoration Editor.  Get to these by this route: 1. Layer properties > Symbology Tab 2. clicking on the Symbol which opens Symbol Selector 3. Properties Button to Symbol Property Editor 4. In Type: select any of cartographic, hash or marker Line Symbol and click the Line Properties Tab 5. In Line Decorations select the right pointing arrow and then the Properties button below it. 6. In Line Decoration Editor screen In "Number of Positions" increase this to whatever looks good and leave the Flip: blank and Rotate properties:  as follow line angle 7. OK and Apply your way out of the screens and check how it looks; you can modify the arrows or change the intervals through the same process. [ATTACH=CONFIG]14759[/ATTACH] As well you can "Hatch" the routes to show distances along them and this will run in the same direction as the arrows:  Go to Layer Properties >  Hatches Tab; check Hatch features in the layer; in the TOC of Layer properties ... Hatch Class > Hatch Interval to a number greater than zero; then Hatch Def( x). "Place these hatches every" e.g. 1 "hatch intervals" (the "x" in the brackets after Hatch Def (x) is the number you enter for intervals, so you can have several hatch types at differnet interval) ; put in a hatch line length;  and in Labels box check "Label these hatches".      Apply, OK and your routes will also have distance markers.

I'm having similar problem and wish someone would answer this. If there isn't a tool for this kind of operation, I hope it is something ESRI looks into developing. Sorry I couldn't help. I just wanted to let you know you are not alone. ... View more

I figured out what was wrong. I was connecting to the server but IP address was off. Thanks anyways! ... View more

I'm using GPS pathfinder office to process waypoints and I keep getting this: "No processing performed as base data does not have carrier data" I'm pretty sure it has something to do with me configuring the IP address of the server of the basestation I use but I don't know how to do that.  Can you modify the IP address of a "system-defined" server?  Is it done through the Correction Wizrd? Help! ... View more

Well then, I'll just say this.  You should never be afraid to ask a question.  Its better to ask and sound like an idiot than to do it incorrectly and mess everything up.  Your boss is not a very good boss if he tries to fire you for asking a legitimate question in order to make sure the job is done correctly.  Also, you are an intern, you should not automatically be expected to know EVERYTHING.  An intern should be seen as a worker-in-training that's why you don't get the big bucks yet.  That said, good luck, and remember integrity is an employer's greatest asset. Also just look on the technical support website (mentioned above), it may be there somewhere. Well...I came to a GIS forum looking for GPS advice and got lessons on integrity. Who would've thought? 😉 I agree that integrity is an employee's best asset (in employer's perspective) but I also know that impressing the boss is never a bad thing. Thank you for your help. I will contact Trimble and if all else fails, then I will resort to asking my boss. I will post the answer to my question here as soon as I find out what it is! ... View more

Thank you for responding! I am open to this suggestion, however, will my boss be notified by the distributor if I (an intern) contact them? If that is the case, then I might as well just ask the people at the office. Any suggestions as to where to look in Pathfinder Office to adjust these settings? (changing a basestation IP address) Again, thank you for your help. ... View more

The field names all have spaces at the end.  Once I removed the spaces, the data loads and the xy events display in the correct locations. Thank you. You're help is appreciated! ... View more

Hey Kevin, I tried out the Excel table and got the same results you did. The points showed up at 0,0. I believe there is something wrong with the spreadsheet. I'm not sure if it is the table or a format issue; however, I was able to get it to work. From ArcMap I exported the Excel table to a .dbf table. The new .dbf table displayed the points in the correct location when using the Display XY Data function. Try that out and let me know if it works. Thank you! What you said worked, as did Lenny's advice (comment below this one). ... View more
