All I have been wanting this functionality as we are having to place section ties and GPS monuments based on published coordinates.  I have extended the smart editor widget to place a graphic location then you can use the graphic location to snap your features to that location.  It is a 2 step process, but that is all I could come up with at this time.  I thought I would share.  All of my widget.js changes start with the comment Added MWY then End Added MWY.  I have a projection in my updates as some of our submittals are in decimal degrees WGS 84 and some are in State Plane.  All of our maps are in Iowa State Plane South so I need to reproject using the WGS 84 output Spatial Reference and use the correct Transformation.  If you are going to stay in the basemaps current coordinate system there is no need for a reprojection.  If you do need to reproject you will have to update the url to your geometry service and also update all of the WKIDs on line 223,228, and 229 in widget.js. This is what the widget will look like. It is not the complete solution that you are looking for, but a step in the right direction.  Points are easy, line and polygons will work if you create all your snap points first.  The zip file below should go in your stemapp folder if you want this functionality on all smart editor widgets, or just put it in the specific app widgets folder. ...

That is exactly what I needed. Thanks Mark Yerington, GISP MAGIC GIS Systems Analyst 3205 CEDAR ST | MUSCATINE, IA 52761 PH: 563.262.3316 | CELL: 563.260.4525 ... View more

Michael Thank you for this!  So we should be able to upgrade our installation of our desktop version to the latest version as everything that is incorporated in 10.1 between 10.5 should be incorporated.  We were told we couldn't upgrade as that was the last supported release.  But from what I am reading from you it should be forward compatible which makes sense to me.  We will discuss with our developer. Thanks ... View more

That would be my next step is to contact the account rep, but sometimes it is easier to ask on here.  The account rep will just have to contact a utility expert and I thought some may be watching on here to answer the simple question of can custom tools be compiled with the newer versions of ArcGIS desktop and have full geometric network functionality supported. ...

I would vote that android handle the search of a domain like IOS.  If you want to search on something then you select the filter window.  When you are in a domain it completely fill out the screen with the domain.  The android 10.4.2 on a small device is very inefficient with this virtual keyboard active all the time.  I am even seeing when you hit the arrow key old domain popups are staying active and the field you are on just pops up on top.  Our field workers are very frustrated with this. ...

That was it. I thought I had all the layers cleared up in the webmap, but I had to turn all layers on to find out that there were others referenced with HTTP. Thanks that was my fault.

Wow lots of activity, I will try adding metadata fields to the dataset and see what happens.  Thanks! ... View more

Yes you have to use integrated receiver .  That is the only way I can get GPS to be active at all with the latest collector for ArcGIS.  I have no idea how esri is getting it to work otherwise with this many people having the same problem. ... View more

Sounds good Matthew.  I still believe that esri should state to use the integrated receiver settings on the links from above if you are suppose to set it to integrated receiver for all compatible devices.  You can set up a connection in Collector for ArcGIS for the R1, but the GPS will not work.  As long as I am getting good GPS I really don't care but you have to turn up your accuracy settings so it will accept 16.4 feet, which would not be acceptable if this is what the GPS is really returning to the device. Thanks for the clarification and I am glad that others are experiencing the same things so this will be fixed in future releases. ... View more

I am using a Trimble R1 also. I would say there is a bug in the communication between the receiver and collector.  I to cannot get GPS to function when choosing the Trimble Receiver.  The only way I can get GPS to function is use the integrated receiver.  Then in the accuracy down at the bottom of collector the lowest I could get the read out to display was 16.4 ft, while GNSS status read 13 in. and  my actual repeated shot locations are 6" to a 1'  horizontal residual on a known control monument. ...

Is there any other business systems running on the server?  We have a similar setup to you guys and we never see an issue with CPU.  We did see some stability issues when we were running SQL and ArcGIS server on the same machine, because SQL would try to chew up all the memory during a cache process and there would be memory contention.  We just throttled back the max memory consumption in the interim until we got a new server for SQL to off load that load. The only instability that I have seen is from the above, or the javaw.exe ArcGIS server process that runs and grabs a bunch of memory that will bring a site to a crawl.  This has not been an issue since upgrading to 10.3.1.  All of our instability is due to memory consumption, definitely not CPU intensive unless a cache process is taking place.  We never have issues with allocating more instances to a service within the means of our allotted memory on the server, we are even starting to increase min instances on our popular services to the max that ArcGIS server statistics have shown spun up at any one time. All of our services have a max of 40 which is higher than I have ever seen used by any one service as one of the old ESRI guys Tom Brenneman mentioned in his blog to allocate as many instances as possible to each service for best performance. He has a lot of server knowledge The GISTom blog ... View more
