I need to modify other properties on the tab, such as Trasparancy, and Hyperlinks. Well now it seems like its sticking.  The last thing I did was click the script radio and open the expression dialog, so maybe that fixed the bug for me  for today.  Good enough. ... View more

I think this is an enhancement that just makes sense.  I have taken my data from 850,000 parcels down to 157,000 parcels, and the speed is still slow for Scene.  If Basemaps were supported, this would greatly enhance the display performance WITHOUT A DOUBT. ... View more

Yep, I remember that post, just did not read it, saw try except (which I use), and moved on, but I see now about the result objects, so I will need to re read, whats happening on the blog side of gp.  Perhaps a blog post about all the new MB iterators would be nice.  C'mon Ash. ... View more

Not entirely sure what you mean. Right now there is a workflow that might work for you to add data to an MXD: Save out a layer file with the desired symbology, with any data source Use arcpy.mapping.Layer(filename) object to get a handle to it in Python Change the layer.dataSource property to your new data source (make sure it's the same feature type as the saved layer; point/poly/etc) Use arcpy.mapping.AddLayer to add the edited layer to the desired dataframe There is also the arcpy.mapping.UpdateDataSources function which has bulk data source updating capability on map documents. I will play with this, I think the AddLayer may work for us, so will play with it, thank you Jason.  I haven't entered the Mapping package, officially yet.  I was trying to setup a test database for Scene, which I am doing in Map, the addLayer would be handy for populating a sxd after I do selections in Map, so will tinker. Based on Name Add Layer denotes a feature layer rather than a feature class, though. ... View more

in the following help topic: http://help.esri.com/en/arcgisdesktop/9.4/help/index.htm#/Feature-Class-To-Feature-Class/001200000020000000/ The py window shows everything as a string, while the standalone approach is representative of setting variables for reference inside of the function.  So, I am assuming that this is just indicative of different ways to represent parameters from the different components in the new gp.  I am hopefully over thinking/over analyzing this, right? ...
