Hello, I'm creating a ToolBox with an Linear Unit Input Parameter. And I want to use this Parameter with the "geometry.buffer(distance)" function (not the arcpy.Buffer_analysis Tool ). How do I change the Unit of the Input Parameter to the Unit of the Geometry-Object? Is there a Conversion Tool or somthing? Cheers Mickey ... View more

Hi, I have made an extension for ArcMap. In this extention you can open a window(non-modal-window) with a MapControl in it. In this MapContol the Scrollbars are always deactivated and it is not possible to activate them over the GUI. So, if the window with my MapControl is open and I change the view in ArcMap, from data view to layout view, the Scrollbars in ArcMap disappear. During Debug-Mode I found out, that ArcMap uses the MapControl Settings of my window. I can only change them for both. How do i set the Scrollbars for arcmap visible and for my MapContol invisible? Thanks for your help. Cheers Mickey ... View more

Hello, i want to copy a FeatureClass which is in a Feature-Dataset into an other Feature-Class (which is also in a Feature-Dataset).Both Feature-Classes are on different SDEs. arcpy.Copy_management(fromgdbpath + "\\" + fd + "\\" + fc,  togdbpath + "\\" + toschema + "." + outfd+ "\\" + toschema + "." + outfc, "FeatureClass") I always get the following error: ('ERROR 000258: Output C:\\...<Path>... already exists\nFailed to execute (Copy).\n',) Of course the Output-FC already exists, but why is this a Problem? If I use the Copy-Geoprocessintool in ArcCatalog with the same Parameters everything works fine! And if i copy Feature-Classes into other Feature-Classes which are not in a Feature-Dataset, it works, too. Thanks for your help! Cheers Mickey ... View more

Hello, I'm trying to change the data source of layers in an mxd-file with a python script and found several possible solutions: e.g. 1. mxd.replaceWorkspaces(...) 2. lyr.replaceDataSource(...) Both data sources (the new and old one) are an ArcSDE (Oracle), but the Owners are different. No matter which Function (1 or 2) i use, the data source change works fine but an other problem occurs: The symbology of one Layer was set to default: Symbologytype of the Layer: UNIQUE_VALUES And the Value Field is an other than before the data source was changed. I have no idea why. The new FeatureClass has the same name as the old one (except the owner-part in front of the Featureclass name) and the Value Field also exists in the new FeatureClass. Any idea what could be the reason for this? If I open the mxd-file in ArcMap and set a new datasource (Properties\Source\Set Data Source...) the same problem occurs --> the symbology is gone 😞 (I have exported the Layer and attached it as a zip, so you can try to change the data source, yourself) Thanks Mickey ...

Hello, if I double click on a Node in an ITOCControl (ITOCControlEvents.OnDoubleClick Event) it toggles the Node (+ to - or - to + ). But I just want to open a Form. Is it possible to turn off this "toggle-behaviour"? Cheers ... View more

Hello, I renamed a Field of a FeatureClass in an ArcSDE with the IClassSchemaEdit4.AlterFieldName Method. This works fine, but as soon as I create a Cursor to iterate the FeatureClass I get an SQL Server Native Client Error, which can't find the old(!!) Fieldname in the Database. m_pCursor = pFeatureClass.Search(Nothing, False) But if i look for the renamed Field in the FeatureClass everything is fine --> I can't find the old fieldname and the new one is there. I have no idea why the Native Client is looking for the old Fieldname? Do I have to refresh the Client somehow? If I restart my application or look at the FeatureClass with ArcCatalog everything works fine. Any idea whats going on with the Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0? Thanks Mickey ... View more
