[Fix] Bold, Blurry or Hard to Read Font Problem in Windows 8.1 - AskVG Since we started this discussion I've gotten a new 8.1 machine, and while not the ultra hi-res situation you guys have, I had noticed some blurry dialogue boxes (Device Manager, etc., scaling issues) - the above link appears to have resolved most of them for me...worth a shot. ...

Hi Koreen - did you figure out how to calculate the geometric mean with the raster calculator? Thanks! ... View more

Hi Amy - Did you ever find a way to do this in ArcMap? ... View more

"Whilst calculating the average of the cell a weighted distance value will be assigned to all neighboring points within the cell. In case of the max value not being located in the center of the cell, it will be weighted according to its distance from the center of the cell and nearby points. Hence the max value does not show up as the final cell value. Is this right?" I'm interested in knowing the answer to this specific part of this person's question, and what if my point is a physical sample location with analytical results (i.e. metals, petroleum, etc.) and I need to preserve these values? I believe in my case, by making the measurement error = 0 during kriging I've made it an exact interpolator - is that a correct assumption? And if so what's the process to preserve these "exact" values at my sample locations in the exported raster then if there's always going to be some averaging going on to get to a cell size, what if my sample point is not exactly in the center - is there a way to center them? It seems I've seen this in my resultant rasters where the values at my sample locations are not honored but "averaged over" during cell creation/export - could someone explain the process in this context, wherein I can preserve the exact max/min of and values of my samples at their locations? Thanks! ... View more

I typically create a color ramp on a dummy data set that contains my min-max values, then in the next/new layer simply go to properties>symbology>import and import the classification/ramp from the dummy layer to the new layer, hope that helps! ... View more

Wow, somehow I just did not see the exp10 in the raster calculator list the first time - thanks Dan! ... View more

Maybe try to delete your normal.mxt template first: ArcGIS Desktop Look at the last couple paragraphs here.  I haven't experimented much with 8.1 and dual monitors, but if ArcMap is not sticking to one monitor or the other each time you open and you haven't changed anything I would suspect ArcMap rather than monitor settings.  Check in there anyway and make sure nothing funky is checked, just extend desktop to 2nd monitor and make sure 1 and 2 are where you want them...I found this quote and maybe it's related: I had a similar issue and was able to resolve it by turning on the: "Let me choose one scaling level for all of my displays" feature under the display settings. People in the comments were complaining about small type, fuzzy, and 4k similar to what you're describing...good luck! ... View more

def FindLabel ( [OwnerName] 😞   rawName = [OwnerName]   commaNum = rawName.find(",")   formatName = rawName[:commaNum+2:] + " " + rawName[:commaNum]   return formatName do you need to add a colon before the first commaNum above? ... View more

Seems like there is only an idea page ArcGIS Idea - Ability to save .mxd and .lyr files into a geodatabase at this time, nothing that's built into ArcGIS. Maybe someone form ESRI could comment on any successful versioning processes they've seen in the wild used successfully? I've heard good things about Subversion, but haven't used it personally - I think third party tools would be kind of a headache to integrate, but that's just me - I guess it depends on how critical it is for your workflow. ...
