@astauffer While I am not Rapier216 I think I know where this user is coming from.  In Windows 7 there is the option of snaping to certain parts of the screen and in ArcMap 10 this is similar functionality to this as well but the problem is just as clm42 commented the map may need to be an independent window so that the map doesn't go across the gap just the toolbars/tables/other windows.  I am moved items around to make this work but I think a bit more working on this may be in order.  ...

My problem is not as complicated.  I am appending to a feature class that requires a join before the append.  I used to do this manually but wanted to automate and speed up the process a bit by using model builder.  I only have ArcEditor so there are some options unavailable to me.  Is there a way to join a table in model builder before appending the resulting feature class to the previously mentioned empty feature class? ...

I tried out several of these, all good.  I did have one question though, how are they organized in the code gallery?  The order that they come up in makes no sense to me.  I think that it should be organized by date added or if you use search, then of course the ability to search by relevance would also be helpful.  Switching back and forth would be very beneficial too. ...

All,  Just a reminder that the   Flex-A-Widget Challenge deadline is this   Friday Feb 18th!!!  All widgets on the Viewer code gallery are eligible for the competition as long as they work with ArcGIS Viewer for Flex 2.2 or higher. Please ensure that your widgets are submitted by the deadline.  Good luck and thanks for your participation, Earlier in the thread it says Feb 25 not the 18th. I was going to suggest that if somebody really wants to create a widget, one on my wish list is some sort of enhanced print widget or CreatePDF widget. The operations dashboard template has a CreatePDF widget but I can't seem to replicate it and don't know who wrote the code. If something like this was available on the Resource Center I would be really happy. ... View more

I am in the process of migrating my modifications from 2.1 to 2.2, and for every code module and configuration file I wonder if there are any changes at all to the new version.  If I knew there were no changes I could just use my previous file, but I'm going through the tedious process of finding all my modifications and editing them into the new files.  At the risk of asking too much, would it be too difficult to put a date and/or version number in each file (.xml, .mxml, .as) so we could save some time with the migration?  Or perhaps provide a list of changed or unchanged files (whichever is easier)? Thanks, Marc What I would really like is just a very simple wizard that does the migration similar to a normal software update.  Many of us that are using the Flex Viewer are newbies to programming and are not very comfortable constantly making changes to xml files.  bjorn suggested we just copy the old xml into the new but how do I know what exactly to copy? ...

I would also like such a feature.  My reasons are for organizational purposes but I can definitely also understand access restrictions too.  Essentially ESRI's thinking is that since tables can't be included in a topology and have to spatial charateristics then they don't need to be able to be in a dataset but there are a number of other reasons for wanting to put it in a dataset. ...

I would also like to add that we need more Regional US user conferences.  In my area there aren't any.  ... View more

I'd still like the conferences to move around.  It is a hassle to have to go all the way to San Diego everytime.  Maybe move it to the midwest one year and then the east coast another and make it move around.  This could work for both DevSummits and the UC.  Its just aggravating that they are doing it there for their convenience rather than the customer's convenience.  As much as I hate to say it because I am from the states, I would also think that Europe and Asia would like to host it as well.  I just couldn't go that year.  ...

How do we flag posts that are obviously fraudulent and abusive?  I found a somewhat subtle spam attempt (which could easily be much nastier, if it linked to a malformed web page) at http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/14634-property-tax-map?p=45968#post45968 but could find no link from that page to warn moderators, flag the malicious intent, or at least nullify it. I visited that link and wonder what about that would be spam, perhaps you meant to post a different link? ... View more

I have the same issue what I do is put the 1/2 as a unit rather than part of the address number itself.  Rounding can cause problems. ... View more

We have Trimble Nomads that we use in conjunction with Pro XH receivers.  The Nomad works great for taking the pictures and attaching the photo to the feature as a BLOB. ... View more

The good news is that dockable windows will be fully available in version 10. ... View more
