We need to add metadata in either  the ISO 19139 Metadata Implementation Specification or the ISO 19139 Metadata Implementation Specification GML3.2 style, See below. How can I activate the dropdown? I can enter the information in the ISO style in Arcmap but not Pro. ... View more

To get it working a gain I click the line that I am tracing to end that tracing and after a minute I can usually start tracing again. After continuing to trace it stalls again. There are also instances where it will stall and lock up Pro. Doing the same task works fine (and faster) in Arcmap. ... View more

As part of a Python script I am trying to pass coordinates into CreateFishnet_management. According to the help file, the syntax for the origin coordinate should be '610433.5 4956420.5'; however, my code throws the following error: Invalid value type for parameter origin_coord. Here is part of my script fcFishnet = "C:\\Users\\fastth\\Documents\\Projects\\Eau Claire\\SmallNetTest.shp" xOrigin = 610433.5 yOrigin = 4956420.5 xOppositeCorner = 610484.5 yOppositeCorne = 4956480.5 plotWidth = 1.5 plotHeight = 5 units = "Feet" originCoord = "'" + str(xOrigin) + " " + str(yOrigin) + "'" print originCoord oppositeCoord = "'" + str(plotWidth) + " " + str(plotHeight) + "'" #Create the fishnet arcpy.CreateFishnet_management(fcFishnet, originCoord, originCoord, plotHeight, plotWidth, oppositeCoord, "NO_LABELS", "DEFAULT", "POLYGON") The print statement returns '610433.5 4956420.5' I tried reversinig the use of single & double quotes to get "610433.5 4956420.5" Finally I tried: originCoord = arcpy.Point(xOrigin,yOrigin) No luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (code [thread=48475]formatted[/thread]) ... View more

I would like to change the color of directories in a model. Normally they are represented by a blue oval. I tried changing it to have a light purple fill color by right-clicking on it and selecting Display Properties. The moment the model is validated it reverts back to blue (even if I save the model first). How do I set the model to retain this color? ... View more

I am new to model builder. I have a model which requires the user to enter the field name for  a Calculate Field GP task. My question is how do I set up in Model builder so that when the user starts it it gives him the choice of which Field Name to use for the Calculate Field GP step in the model? Calculate field does not seem to be able to allow the user to enter in a field name. Here is a screen shot of my model: ... View more
