1700 Spatial Query does not list notes for point layer

DarrylDempsey — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 20:18:01 GMT

The new Spatial Query button in 1700 is most welcome.

However we've noticed a strange phenomenon:
If an area layer is selected, users' notes are visible in the combo for selecting a note as the query shape.
If a point layer is selected no notes are available in the combo which forces the user to draw the query shape by hand when querying point layers
Imprecise and frustrating.

Most of our notes are polygons.

Do others have the same problem?

I cannot repro it. I've selected shapefile with point type geometry and I am able to select polygon and polyline notes to do spatial query against them.

Thanks for the quick reply, Andrij.
This occurrs on my test computer (Windows 7).
On a work computer (Windows XP) the notes are indeed available as query feature for point layers.

I have made a screenshot from my test computer where you can see that no notes are available for a (shape) point layer and another screenshot where an area layer has been selected and the notes are then visible.

Unfortunately clicking on the attachments button does nothing, even though the screen says I may post them If you can help me to get the button working I will send the screenshots and any other info you may require.

Andriy,
Here are the screenshots where you can see that for a spatial query of a point layer no notes are visible and for an area layer the notes are available.

Please let me know if you require more info.

Darryl, can you share your data? You can privately share it, so I can take a look at what's going on, otherwise, it is tough to reproduce.

No problem Andriy.

Most of the features are in a (compressed) file gdb of 2MB.
The shape layers are quite large, but it's probably not necessary to upload them since the problem also occurrs with gdb point layers.
The nmc is tiny.

Let me know what you need and how best to do it ..

Andriy,
I was not allowed to attach the gdb because of it's size (1.76mb zipped).
Have therefore enclosed 3 zipped shape files (with most of the data) and my nmf.
Let me know if you need more ...

Darryl, thanks for sharing data, unfortunately, I am not able to reproduce what you see. I selected point data and able to create spatial query against it:

Not really sure what's going on on your machine.

Not really surprising, Andriy. It seems to have something to do with my test computer or it's operating system, Windows 7. No one else on the forum seems to have this problem. I'm thinking about doing a clean install of AGX1700 and starting from scratch with an empty map, to see if that helps.
Thanks for your efforts.
