Thanks for your follow up questions. Yes, the project delivery subscription can be deployed in the cloud, but not on-premises. Typically, a firm will set up a collaboration between their own Enterprise Portal and their ArcGIS Online org to sync/copy data between the two. Once layers & maps have been copied to your ArcGIS Online org, they can be shared with the project delivery organization using group sharing. This way the client stays out of your internal Portal and you can still automate some data delivery. If your project delivery subscription is deployed on ArcGIS Enterprise in the cloud, then you could establish a collaboration directly between your Enterprise Portal and the project delivery Enterprise Portal in the cloud.  ...

I don't know of a way to do this with data obtained using Collector. There is reporting functionality with data collected using Survey123. Feature Reports became available last summer.  ... View more

Sean, you could use one project delivery subscription for the entire wind farm project you were describing. It would be an isolated environment for project stakeholders to view, add, and edit project data. At the end of the project, the data and Project Delivery organization can be transferred to the client or just incorporated into your system of record. The cost is $1200/year, which includes 2 Creator user types with 500 credits each. You will use one Creator to be the admin for the new ArcGIS Online organization and the other will go to your client to log in and see the maps and apps. If you need additional Creators, Viewers, Editors, Field Workers, etc. they can get added on at their normal price. Luckily, this cost is billable to the project. Thanks for your interest. We will be releasing more documentation soon. Feel free to ask more questions. ... View more

Yes, the clients would be accessing the content privately and yes, it needs to be used for a designated project. All the content that you want to share with a client goes into a group. Then you invite the new users from the project delivery subscription into that group as members from an external organization. A project delivery subscription cannot be used to support the ongoing GIS maintenance of that client. If a project ends before the year is up, you can receive a pro-rated discount or use the project delivery subscription for another project for that same client. (one project after another) Any updates that you make the data or maps will be seen immediately by the client's GIS system. Anything you can create in ArcGIS Online can be shared with your client. ... View more

Those are still available. It is one of our pre-made solutions @ solutions.arcgis.com  You'll need ArcGIS Pro and an ArcGIS Online account to deploy the solution. It will essentially be a set of pre-configured maps, apps & layers that you customize to your organization and add your own data to. You can even try some of them out to see how it will behave and what it will look like.  Adopta (this has been moved to mature support and replaced with the two below) Adopt-A-Stop Adopt-A-Catch Basin ...

Usually when pipes are drawn, they are digitized from start to finish/beginning to end/upstream to downstream. ArcGIS knows where the start and end of the pipe is, so you might be able to apply one of the arrow symbol styles if the pipes were created that way. Someone else asked for something similar in this GeoNet. There are some screenshots and advice to get the desired symbology you're looking for. If the lines were digitized in random directions, you would probably need to do look into Attribute Driven Symbology. ... View more

An AEC Project Delivery subscription is the easiest way to get data to your customers.

If you share it as a web layer to ArcGIS Online, you can access from AutoCAD using the free ArcGIS for AutoCAD plug in. The latest version is currently in beta, but it is vastly superior to the older version. Download the old plug in here. Download and install the beta plug-in here. The beta site also has tutorials and videos that show how to use it. Once your symboloize shapefile is shared online, you can access it through the plug-in.  ... View more

You could use ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro to perform a join on the two datasets. Through a common field, known as a key, you can associate records in one table with records in another table. The result is temporary, but can be exported and made permanent. Overview of Joins & Relates Is that close to what you were asking? If you need this to be done on the fly with a mobile device, you would share the data to ArcGIS Online and set up related tables. ... View more

Would that be a LandXML? There is a tool within the 3D analyst extension called LandXML to TIN that can create a surface called a Triangular Irregular Network (elevation surface) out of a LandXML file. The new TIN can be read by ArcGIS as an elevation surface.  If that method doesn't work for you, there are lot of ways to create TINs for use as elevation surfaces in ArcGIS.  ... View more

One way is create a 3D scene in ArcGIS Pro and add your DSM as an elevation layer. Create an empty line feature class that is z-aware, and begin digitizing your path. Use the Elevation tools on the Edit tab to specify a z-value for the path as you draw (the DSM). ... View more
