Hi Please try this tool: http://resources.arcgis.com/gallery/file/geoprocessing/details?entryID=E780BB87-1422-2418-7FD8-A1A0D8167AAF Regards ... View more

Hello Jun If you implement a process which maintains the copy of the address table in your GIS database (say by nightly update), and you have a locator in the same workspace as the table, then you can re-geocode automatically on update by using the option shown in the attached dialog (also available in the Geocode Addresses geoprocessing tool) to create a dynamic feature class related to the table. Regards ... View more

Hi Jun The input to the Geocode Addresses geoprocessing tool must be a table object, not a table view such as Make Query Table outputs.  Add a step to write the view into a workspace and geocode from that. Regards ... View more

All Please also see: http://resources.arcgis.com/gallery/file/geoprocessing/details?entryID=AA23C5C6-1422-2418-8811-1365253A756A There is a model variable (not exposed as a parameter) that will let you play with the number of nearest neighbours for the hull boundary, controlling smoothness.

Hi Only ESRI applications or SDK's will understand the CPG file, you may have to handle the Unicode encoding yourself in another environment. Regards ... View more

Hi If your DBF file is part of a shapefile, then you will need a codepage file to correctly interpret any Unicode strings.  If your shapefile root name is "xyz" then create a text file xyz.cpg with the contents "UTF-8" (not quoted) and hopefully that will work for you. Regards ... View more

Hi You can do this with a model using iterators.  I attach an example working with contour features. Regards ... View more

Hi John The Python snippet below (requires ArcInfo 10) finds parcels that have neighbouring parcels greater than a certain area in size.  I'm not sure from your post your exact requirement for selecting parcels, but you should be able to monkey with the logic to get there. Regards import arcpy arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True parcels = r"C:\Temp\Parcels.shp" lines = r"C:\Temp\Lines.shp" arcpy.PolygonToLine_management(parcels,lines,"IDENTIFY_NEIGHBORS") bigParcelList = [p.fid for p in arcpy.SearchCursor(parcels,"shape_area > 12000")] hasBigNeighbourSet = set([l.right_fid for l in arcpy.SearchCursor(lines) if l.left_fid  in bigParcelList] + \                          [l.left_fid  for l in arcpy.SearchCursor(lines) if l.right_fid in bigParcelList]) hasBigNeighbourSet.remove(-1) #any parcels on the edge of the world bigneighbours = r"C:\Temp\BigNeighbours.shp" expression = "fid in " + repr(list(hasBigNeighbourSet)).replace("[","(").replace("]",")") arcpy.FeatureClassToFeatureClass_conversion(parcels, r"C:\Temp", "BigNeighbours.shp", expression) ...

Hi Daniel Joe is correct, but I would still try merging your features into a single features class in a file geodatabase then making an ArcGIS 10 locator from it.  Esri creates locators with this order of magnitude of features in hours. Regards ... View more

Hi Not much help at 9.3 I know, but ArcPy geometry objects have a "contains" method: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/Polygon/000v000000n1000000/ Regards ... View more

Hello Bangqian With the Data Interoperability extension turned on, can you navigate to the 0107veg_shape.e00 file in ArcCatalog and expand the feature set into its component feature geometries? If you are able, please send me 0107veg_shape.e00 attached to an email, to [email protected], and I will take a look. Regards ... View more

Hi Troy This will be workspace dependent.  For example in SQL Server 2008 you could have a field of type UniqueIdentifier and create values with the UUIDGenerator in your workbench.  Data Interop will populate the uniqueidentifier field. You can mimic this behavior with integers you make unique using a Counter transformer, it depends on the quality of result you are looking for. Regards ... View more

Hi Parthiban Data Interoperability is an extra cost extension delivered on all ArcGIS desktop install media.  You can install it without licensing it and use a small subset of its functionality (reading GML-based formats) but the full functionality requires a license, just like other extensions.

Does anyone know a tool that will help me export all tools to a table/spreadsheet? (for Arc10) I used to use Geodatabase Reporter, but there is not a version for Arc10.  The domain-to-table works well enough for a single table, but not really for a gdb w/ 250 domains in it... Hi ArcPy Describe properties include a Python list of domains for any workspace which you could loop through the Domain to Table GP tool and make your tables. Regards ... View more

Hello Nelson Can you please log a support call; there must be another issue beside the one addressed in SP1 for background geoprocessing.  Please reference this forum thread when logging the call, and be ready to share test data, and of course your tool.  Thank you for helping us troubleshoot this issue.
