I am quite sure Autocad will be unable to directly edit data stored in an enterprise geodatabase, versions or no versions, managed using ArcGIS. Reading the data into Autocad may have improved (I have no access to a newer system to test it on) from the 2013 version I had a chance to work with. But reading or writing to an ESRI geodatabase (personal/file/enterprise) has always been a bit problematic (unless you were using arcgis) and you would need something like FME to move data in or out of the geodatabase into dwg or any other format. I also think ArcGIS for Autocad was designed more for additional flexibility working with autocad dwg files in arcgis desktop rather than working with geodatabase data in Autocad. I had a quick look at ArcGIS for AutoCAD | Key Features and you can edit Enterprise Geodatabases through ArcGIS for Server Feature Services so maybe that is the way to go.

Hi, Have you tried making a connection file using the tools, or via

Have you tried the Conversion tool - Raster to ASCII? You would of course have to convert the BMP first into a rasterdataset. Raster to Point also comes in mind if you were wanting the latitude/longitude in a table.

You would need to convert your Single use to a Concurrent use license which will always be more expensive so be prepared to pay more when you call your ESRI rep. Even if you only buy 1 license, you could install the desktop software on every machine where you can potentially run ArcGIS Desktop from but as you only have 1 license (stored in a license manager which is usually installed in a server) only 1 machine can use the software at any one time. The moment a user exits the application, the license automatically gets freed up and anyone else can jump in and start their own ArcMAP or ArcCatalog session from their machine. If I remember right, the difference in cost for a single Advanced (aka ARCINFO) license is not much when you buy one Advanced and one Basic (aka ARCVIEW) license. You would then need to get only 1 license for any of the extensions which is also stored and used concurrently in your license manager.

I can't say that one can somehow track a record that is deleted from a feature class as it won't be there tomorrow if it was deleted today, unless you had a copy of the feature class today and then compare it to tomorrows. As for insertions and updates, if you add 2 date fields in your feature class and then enable Editor Tracking, then assign the create date field and the edit date field appropriately, then you should have a way of tracking when a record was created and/or edited.

had an almost similar request a while back and i used arcscene to create a 3d perspective view of the main points of interest and the road that were all geographically correct. exported it out as an Illustrator file (.ai), added clip art on top of the points of interest, "sketched" by mouse the road then added the cosmetics and text. I did have an artist finish it off as I am not very good with that.

I would expect an mxd to be substantially bigger if stored with an image (usually as part of a layout) compared to the actual size of the source image as it is most likely the case that the source image is compressed, whereas when storing it with an mxd it will most likely be stored uncompressed.

exactly. that is why it should be the input table for the next step which is the "calculate field'.

‎11-12-2015

I can't open your tbx, so I can't see how you've set it up but from the image, I can see that in_memory is not the output of your create table. Should it not be the input used for the calculate field?

Had the same requirement before and the only way I could make it work was to export to pdf with legend and without legend for each combination. I then put together the individual pdf's in Acrobat Pro as separate layers you can turn on or off.

Yes indeed Alex. All those calculations you can do with Spatial Analyst and if you do it on a fairly regular basis and in varying localities, you can even set up some model builder tools to semi-automate the process. And as Chris mentions below there are also a lot of tools in there that can help you better visualize your data.

It would be easier to go and take one of the free online courses available. Highly recommended. Esri Training | Turning Data into Information Using ArcGIS 10.0. You would probably be able to see what 'could' you use it for. Cheers, Mike

Based on experience, projecting it before exporting will allow you to choose the Geographic Transformation that will be applied. In the case of NZMG to NZTM. choosing the NTv2 transformation yields the most accurate projection. The default transformation that is used (can't remember which one) was not so good. Then of course if there was only one transformation method for your particular projection then I would like to think that there should be no difference but you never will know until.... so maybe Dan Patterson's suggestion is the only way to be sure.

You could try rasterizing your geology layer to the same pixels as your DEM.

‎08-16-2015

So the geology layer is using the base height of your DEM X 10? Why not use the DEM as the source of the base height for your geology layer and apply an offset?
