The points are beneath the image, and can only be seen when the image is moved. My TOC is pretty bare- just the one Shapefile, so it's not as easy as just moving the position of the Shapefile in the TOC. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Chris</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 15 Feb 2013 16:00:23 GMT ChrisKnox 2013-02-15T16:00:23Z Precision and Scale https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/precision-and-scale/m-p/443977#M14953 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Im adding values to the precision and scale of a floating point, although doesn't seem to be working.

So for a number like 42.1 you have to enter 3 as Precision and 1 for Scale.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Regards,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Matthias</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 15 Feb 2013 15:35:44 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/precision-and-scale/m-p/443978#M14954 MatthiasWoerner 2013-02-15T15:35:44Z Re: Precision and Scale https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/precision-and-scale/m-p/443979#M14955 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Great thanks <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span> Sorry but I have another quick question- how do i make the point files sit on top of an image?

You have only one shapefile in the TOC? And that contains points? What do you mean with image - your ArcMap file or a loaded image file in the map? But then it would appear in the TOC, too, wouldn't it?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>If there are several layers loaded and visible in the TOC, you can easily move them up- and downwards there. But I think you know that.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Maybe you can clarify a bit or even attach a screenshot.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Regards,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Matthias</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 15 Feb 2013 18:17:48 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/precision-and-scale/m-p/443980#M14956 MatthiasWoerner 2013-02-15T18:17:48Z Re: Precision and Scale https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/precision-and-scale/m-p/443981#M14957 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi Matthias,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Managed to sort it out- I was importing the image by just going to insert picture, instead of doing it by add data (and appearing in the TOC as a result). </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks for the support- appreciate it.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Chris</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 15 Feb 2013 21:25:06 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/precision-and-scale/m-p/443981#M14957 ChrisKnox 2013-02-15T21:25:06Z Re: Precision and Scale https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/precision-and-scale/m-p/443982#M14958 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi Chris,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>...alright.
