I do not perform lidar processing, but you could probably make some assumptions and build a model to test for these assumptions to pull the power lines from the data (That is if these are high tension power lines that would be away from trees).  High tension power lines would be some distance from the tree line (There might be a spec for minimum distance that you could try to google), so you could first get tree lines from the lidar data.  Then in the areas with no trees you could look for lidar shots where there is some elevation between a 1st shot and 2nd shot.  From my limited training with lidar data, the 1st shot would be lidar hitting the power line and the 2nd shot would be the lidar hitting the ground.  You could make up an assumed distance range of say 12-15 foot difference (average elevation above the ground for the wires - I would research specs for minimum elevation high tension wires need to be placed above the ground surface) that you would use to extract the power line lidar shots.  I hope this can be of some help to you. ...

I would at the least upgrade ArcGIS Desktop to v10.1 on the ArcGIS Server (AGS) machine so you can administer services.  Then upgrade on that machine.  I would then upgrade the remaining desktops.  Then finally I would upgrade SDE. What type of connections do you make to SDE (service or direct)? ... View more

"Otherwise, an easy thing to do to see if it is working is to just watch your workspace in Windows Explorer and see if you see either a shared or exclusive lock file is being applied. They should be pretty easy to spot and will show up as a data type of LOCK." Would this method of spotting lock files only apply to shapefile, personal and file geodatabases? Would you need to worry about locks from arcpy.da if you are working with an SDE geodatabase that is built to accomodate multiple users? ... View more

Thanks Robert. I will wait until Flex 3.2 comes out and test if it works then. ... View more

Bjorn: As per a previous thread I have the following setup and I am generating the following error: This is the first line in my modified RouteWidget.xml file. <routetasksolver>http://route.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/Route/NAServer/Route</routetasksolver> (I've also tried <routetasksolver>https://route.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/Route/NAServer/Route</routetasksolver>) When I use this URL in the route widget, I get a sign in screen which I populate with my AGOL for Organizations account. Unfortunately after I enter my destination point, I get the error 9004$LAYER_NOT_EXIST. Clear and start again or add another valid stop. If I click the reset button and add 2 more points, I still get the same error message. I thought you have said that the IdentityManager should already be enabled so the Route service should work successfully. ... View more

Bjorn: I understand that I need to use the Route Service URL you are specifying. http://route.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/Route/NAServer/Route The problem is when I try to use the Route Widget with this newer secured service, after I enter my AGOL for Organizations account credentials, I get the following error: Unfortunately, I get the error 9004$LAYER_NOT_EXIST. Clear and start again or add another valid stop. How do I configure the widget (easier) or the uncompiled code (difficult) to accept the secured service? ... View more

Thanks Robert. Does anyone know where I would change the uncompiled code on the Route Widget to allow the use of secured services? ... View more

Lucas: Thank you for confirming that ArcGIS v9.3.1 can be installed in a Windows 7 environment.  I was only speaking about the environment where I have worked in with Windows 7 and no lower than ArcGIS Desktop v10.0. ... View more

That is the same question I was thinking about when ESRI does upgrade desktop to 64 bit. Does anyone from ESRI have any details on this subject moving forward? ... View more

Anthony: I did choose one of the particular categories.  I now realize, based on your previous thread, that even though I chose the template to be a specific category, I changed the category when I was filling out the attribute information. So even though you have the ability to change the category in the drop-down menu after selecting a template to draw with, you should not do this as the category you chose disagrees with the template, even though no error is displayed, because the new record will not get added to the SDE feature class. I hope my explanation makes sense as that is what seems to be occurring. ... View more

I made some modifications to my main config.xml file when I was specifying the feature server based on the last thread of the below post: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/72321-Adding-new-features-with-EDIT-WIDGET?highlight=edit+widget+flex+viewer Now the feature layer is displaying on the map and I can make edits to the feature service. ...

Yes, I had that setup in SDE before I even created the mapservice that has feature access capability. ... View more
