I saw that. Problem there is, how do your sort revers-alphabetically. In Arcmap, all I had to do was click on the "Type" column and sort types up or down, but I could still see them all. With Pro, now an extra few mouse clicks.... ... View more

It's very disappointing to have to document a user story to justify something we already use in ArcMap, which is going away, and won't be able to do in Pro. I'm spending more and more time looking at QGIS, not confident at all that the when ArcMap is gone for good, that Pro will even meet 1/4 of my needs.  ... View more

Even at 300 DPI, the pdf file is 3GB (there is a raster in here). Can't go below 300, or turn off the raster, as the quality requirement is quite high, and I have to print 9 copies of this thing. I always export PDF with no layers or georeference.  ... View more

Great summary! Unfortunately, many of the options do not allow for "alt-text" image description to be rendered in the ESRI online apps, in order to be section 508-compliant.  ... View more

More "Feature Class Already Exists" errors.  So I've been getting a lot of this, and getting really frustrated: ERROR 000258: Output HWA.gdb\HWA_MON_SRV_GRSM_HWA_Mon already exists Failed to execute (CreateFeatureclass).‍‍ frustrated enough to run the py, 1 line at a time, to see what I was doing wrong. Near the end of the whole thing, a line asks the length of the string that is holding the table names, and I found that it was always returning "0", which, would trigger the create tables part of this, hence the error.  So: >>> prefix='HWA_MON_SRV' >>> arcpy.env.workspace = 'HWA.gdb' >>> originalWorkspace = arcpy.env.workspace >>> wildcard = '*{0}*'.format(prefix) if prefix != '' else '*' >>> featureClasses = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses(wildcard) >>> tables = arcpy.ListTables(wildcard) >>> allTables = featureClasses >>> allTables.extend(tables) >>> outTables = [] >>> for t in allTables: tableName = t.split('.')[-1] nameParts = tableName.split('_') if '__ATTACH' not in t: if nameParts[0] == prefix or prefix == '': outTables.append(t) >>> arcpy.env.workspace = originalWorkspace >>> outTables [] >>> wildcard '*HWA_MON_SRV*' >>> nameParts [u'HWA', u'MON', u'SRV', u'BiocontrolSpeciesData']‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Sure enough, outTables is NULL.  There's a tablesplit thing going on here, based on the underscore "_". So what if I DO NOT include an underscore in my prefix name?  >>> prefix='HwaMonSrv' >>> arcpy.env.workspace = 'HWA.gdb' >>> originalWorkspace = arcpy.env.workspace >>> wildcard = '*{0}*'.format(prefix) if prefix != '' else '*' >>> featureClasses = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses(wildcard) >>> tables = arcpy.ListTables(wildcard) >>> allTables = featureClasses >>> allTables.extend(tables) >>> outTables = [] >>> for t in allTables: tableName = t.split('.')[-1] nameParts = tableName.split('_') if '__ATTACH' not in t: if nameParts[0] == prefix or prefix == '': outTables.append(t) >>> outTables [u'HwaMonSrv_GRSM_HWA_Mon', u'HwaMonSrv_IndividualTree', u'HwaMonSrv_BiocontrolSpeciesData'] >>> nameParts [u'HwaMonSrv', u'BiocontrolSpeciesData'] >>> wildcard '*HwaMonSrv*'‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ And now the length of the variable returns "3".  Take home message:  Don't include underscores in your prefix string! ...
