This is a perfect scenario for setting up your geodatabase to use subtypes!! Using subtypes will allow you to apply coded or ranged domains to features, enabling you to constrain input information to a valid set of values. For example, in a water distribution network, the subtype 'water mains' could have a coded domain for building materials restricting them to be made of cast iron, ductile iron, or copper. Subtype/domain relationships in the geodatabase are exported to ArcPad during checkout using the Data Manager Toolbar. - Hannah ... View more

Hey Colin, The tool is still included in ArcPad - it's just not on the default toolbars 🙂 You can add it to your Favourites Toolbar by checking the box next to the 'Reproject Shapefile' Tool or, Drag and Drop the tool onto a Default (or new) Toolbar in the Toolbar Editor (for ArcPad 10.0.2 +) 🙂 - Hannah ...

After saving your changes in ArcPad Studio, make sure you close the AXF before trying to use it in ArcPad. Avoid having a single AXF open for editing in both ArcPad and ArcPad Studio 🙂 Hannah ... View more

THE 10.0.4 DOWNLOAD ON THE CUSTOMER CARE PORTAL IS NOT CORRUPTED!! Just make sure that you do not have your internet browser open when you are installing and you should have no issues. The Esri true type fonts will not install if you have an active internet browser session open. NOTE: especially when using Windows 8 (different mechanism for closing win8 apps) - make sure the browser is CLOSED and not running in the background Thanks, Hannah ... View more

If you are having connectivity issues, you always have the option to copy the ArcPad Application.ARM.CAB file (found in the C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\ArcPad10.0\CABs Folder) onto your device using an SD Card. Then, on your Windows Mobile Device, simply select the .CAB file in File Explorer to install ArcPad. You could also try an uninstall/reinstall of Windows Mobile Device Centre/ActiveSync or a hard reset of your device to fix your connectivity issues... Hope this helps, Hannah ... View more

Not quite my area of expertise, but it seems that there may be a license restriction on adding attachments using the GeoTagged Photos to Points Tool. Adding attachments requires at minimum an ArcGIS for Desktop Standard license, and the output feature class must be in a version 10 or higher geodatabase. See the ArcGIS 10.1 Help 🙂 ... View more

Hi Daniel, An ArcPad Photo Layer is a collection of Photos that have Location Information in the EXIF Header (Geo-Tagged Photos). See this ArcWatch Article to learn how to import geo-tagged photos into ArcMap. But if you wanted to use ArcPad, we have included a tool to make a shapefile using the photo locations and reference the Photo names in the attributes... The Photo Layer to Shapefile Applet is included in the ArcPad Install in the C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\ArcPad10\Tools Folder. Simply copy all of the Photo Layer files to your Applets Folder (C:\Users\Public\Documents\ArcPad\Applets) and open ArcPad to use the Tool. Hope this helps!! Hannah ... View more

Hello! ArcPad Photo Layers (and shapefiles made from Photo Layers) are not designed to include the folder location of the photos. However, ArcPad will do this when you are taking photos attached to features. When you are using the Data Manager to check out your feature layer, be sure to configure you photo folder location on the Picture Options page. [ATTACH=CONFIG]20566[/ATTACH] This way, when you check your data back in, the full folder path will be included in the specified Photo Field to work as a hyperlink in ArcGIS Desktop. If this function is really important to your workflow, consider creating a point layer with a photo field to capture your pictures using the ArcPad Data Manager to check in and out of ArcGIS Desktop instead of an ArcPad Photo Layer. Hope this helps, Hannah ... View more
