MapSAR and 10.3

[AdamFrantz]

Does anyone know if MapSAR will support 10.3? Are there any known issues with running MapSAR on ArcGIS 10.3?

I just downloaded it and ran the 10.2 bat file and didn't get any errors.

I have MapSAR, and we just upgraded to 10.3 yesterday. The Toolbar appears as before, although I haven't tried doing any analysis with it yet. I opened one of the tools, and did notice the error message below. I'm not certain though, that this is due to the upgrade.

I've been having problems with the Make Map button. When the script runs, it says that no assignments are found and does not produce any maps.

[SepheFox]

As an exercise, I'm going to go through the process. I'll let you know what happens.

[SepheFox]

Did you create some assignment polygons? If so, did you create them by digitizing polygons in the Assignments layer?

[AdamFrantz]

That's exactly how I did it.

Ok, I went through the steps and didn't have any problems, so I would say this is not a problem with 10.3, but some other issue. There are some troubleshooting tips in the checklist PDF:

-The DDP Script Tool in MapSAR won’t create Assignment maps.

The error message is:

Assignments Selected are [1, 2, 3]

There is no assignment # 1 in the system

There is no assignment # 2 in the system

There is no assignment # 3 in the system

a. I’ve found this to happen when you choose the wrong SAR Incident folder containing the Assignment DDP templates. MapSAR will retain the last project folder you were in as default, so check to make sure you’re in the current project and path to your current project’s map templates.

b. If the problem persists (as I had happen once) it might be related to a .Lock problem (above). Save, Close out, delete other ArcMap.exe process then try again. Use the Unlocker utility.

c. If the MapSAR DDP Tool (the icon) still doesn’t work, the standard Data Driven Pages Tool Bar will still print your maps. For that workflow, see the Using GIS for Wildland SAR book, Exercise 8A, Print for how to do it.

Still not running. I've been working at it all morning trying to figure out what the problem is. There is a work-around so it's not a huge deal, just annoying.

What exactly is the error message you are getting?
