Hello LGM Community, I have some questions regarding the ???Facilities Streets??? feature dataset, and the ???Street Furniture??? FC.  Historically we (I work for a small town municipal government) tracked many of those features that would be stored in the street furniture FC individually/ as separate FCs. For instance, we have feature classes for large garbage bins, small garbage bins, recycling bins, benches, bike racks, picnic tables etc??? And within each of those FC???s we tracked additional and specific attribute information (which differs between FC???s).  So how do we best incorporate all these old FC???s into one giant FC called Street Furniture,  and not lose all the other specific data that was tracked within each of them. Just add tons of additional columns I guess?! Also, we were interested in making subtypes for some of the street furniture types. For example: a feature could be coded as a trash can but it could have a subtype to represent whether it is a large bin, small bin and what type of bin it is??? However, I think we can???t make subtypes on a string domain type it has to be a short integer or long integer domain type. So is it OK to change the domain type from text to short integer for the TYPE of street furniture to accommodate for subtypes?? One other thing, it appears that hydrants are tracked within the street furniture FC, but there is also a separate FC in the Water gdb for water hydrants (which seems to make more sense for grouping data).  So the types of items tracked within the street furniture feature class are optional, because at times they are tracked elsewhere as well? Please let me know your thoughts or advice on 1. effectively combining old data and all their relevant attributes into the new feature class, 2. the potential future effects of changing the field type of a domain to create a subtype, and 3. the frequency of tracking features in two different places... Thanks in advance! Hailey ... View more

Hello, This seems simple, yet every time I use the "export to CAD" conversion tool, I come out with a DWG where any converted GIS point data appears invisible in AutoCAD (despite it being in the layer properties widnow of AutoCAD). What do I need to do to make these points convert to CAD points? Or something like that? (I have tried changing the symbology in AutoCAD, but I had no luck affecting the visibility of those points). Thanks in advance for your help or advice 🙂 H.M ... View more

Hi, Wihtin model builder I have used the field calculator, to try and populate a new empty field (called Water_Classification) based on the contents of another field. However, my VB statement is not working and I am unable to figure out why? If anybody can help, it would be much appreciated 🙂 I would like to put numeric values in a field called [Water_Classification] depending on what the string values are from another field called [CLASSIFICATION_1] This is what I currently have: If [CLASSIFICATION_1] = "High" then    x =5 ElseIf [CLASSIFICATION_1] = "Medium" then    x =3 ElseIf [CLASSIFICATION_1] = "Low" then    x =1 ElseIf [CLASSIFICATION_1] = "<null>" then    x =0 Else    x = 9999 EndIf At the end (in the box at the bottom), I have: Water_Classification = x If anybody has any advice or tips, pelase let me know, Thanks! ...
