You will just need to add pythonaddins.Messagebox to the end of your code.  Ex: import arcpy import pythonaddins class XYTool(object):     """Implementation for xy_addin.XYTool (Tool)"""    def __init__(self):         self.enabled = True         self.cursor=3     def onMouseDownMap(self, x, y, button, shift):                 mxd=arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("current")         df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd)[0]         pt=arcpy.PointGeometry(arcpy.Point(x,y))         #ptfeat=arcpy.management.CopyFeatures(pt,r"in_memory\pt")         print x,y         pythonaddins.MessageBox(str(x) + ", " + str(y), 'Coordinates', 0) ...

This command will only update the layer specified with the '-l' option.  In the example above, only the "airports" feature class extent will be updated. ... View more

You can use the 'sdelayer -o alter' command with the '-E' option to calculate the extent.  Ex: sdelayer -o alter -l airports,shape -E calc -D gis -i sde:sqlserver:server -u vector -p vector For the '-E' option you can use 'calc' to automatically calculate the extent, or you can enter the extent manually, i.e. (-E -75.07,40.03,-74.98,40.10) ...

You would just need to add '+ ".jpg"' to the code.  Ex: for name in list:     arcpy.MakeRasterLayer_management(r"C:\ArcGISProjects\SamplePhotos" + "\\" + name + ".jpg", name) ... View more

Hi Megan, First, make a Raster Layer from the JPEG, and then use the AddLayer function to add the raster layer to the MXD.  Ex: import arcpy arcpy.MakeRasterLayer_management(r"C:\DATA\RASTER\JPG\barberspt.jpg", "BarbersPt") mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"C:\Temp\Python\Harbour.mxd") df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd)[0] addLayer = arcpy.mapping.Layer("BarbersPt") arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(df, addLayer, "BOTTOM") mxd.save() del mxd ...

As a test, try creating a SQL Server Authenticated user to see if you can connect using a database user rather than a windows user.  Steps for this can be found here. Before creating the user, make sure the SQL Server Express instance is configured to accept SQL Server and Windows Authentication.  You can configure this by right-clicking on the instance in SQL Server Management Studio > Properties > Security > Server Authentication. ...

Hi Daniel, You won't have to compress to a state of 0, but a few things you will have to do: 1.  If you have any replicas, synchronize each one. 2.  Reconcile each other version.  If you are using ArcGIS 10.1, you can see the other versions to reconcile and perform the reconciliation by looking at the Reconcile Order tab. 3.  Make sure no other users are connected, this includes ArcGIS Server services.  You can disconnect users at 10.1 as well. After the above criteria is met, you can compress the database, and the edits will be reflected in your Query Layer. ... View more

Hi Yan, The map services are in different geographic areas.  So, after you click the drop down button to show the other map service you will need to update the extent using the setExtent method.  Ex: function createdropbutton()       {          var splitbutoon=new Ext.button.Split({              renderTo: "extSlider",              frame:true,              text:'�??换',              menu:new Ext.menu.Menu({                  items: [             // these will render as dropdown menu items when the arrow is clicked:             {text: '影�?�', handler: function(){                // alert("Item 1 clicked");basemapGallery.select("basemap_0");}                     Dbasemap1.setVisibility(true);                     Ybasemap.setVisibility(false);                     var originalExtent = new esri.geometry.Extent({"xmin":-86.309,"ymin":37.895,"xmax":-85.044,"ymax":38.515,"spatialReference":{"wkid":4326}});                     map.setExtent(originalExtent);                 }             },             {text: '�?�形', handler: function(){               //alert("Item 2 clicked");basemapGallery.select("basemap_1"); }                     Dbasemap1.setVisibility(false);                     Ybasemap.setVisibility(true);                     var newExtent = new esri.geometry.Extent({"xmin":-80.466,"ymin":27.287,"xmax":-80.248,"ymax":27.536,"spatialReference":{"wkid":4326}});                     map.setExtent(newExtent);                         }             }                 ]              })           }); ...
