Be sure and do a full restart to make sure there aren't headless ArcGIS processes going and try again. @MatthewBliss 's suggestion above is really good, sometimes you see messages in the log file that point you to the problem. If that does not work, I highly recommend contacting tech support as they can help you without breaking your system, which is a real possibility when doing this kind of 'surgery' on your Windows desktop.

Note, your aprx does not include your models, for anyone to see it you would share the tbx, or a complete (hopefully stripped down) copy of the project with all its components in a zipped folder or project package. My only suggestion is to make sure all your models are validated before you call them from another model. Nesting models and using iterators is certainly required when you have a lot of tools. Using iteration can simplify your model (fewer tools to validate) so @DanPatterson is right on there. However, even if you are very organized, new inputs (ie ones different from the inputs you used when building the model) may trigger validation of all your tools, which can take a long time for a complex model. In my experience there is a level of complexity (number of tools) beyond which you want to move to Python to avoid ModelBuilder tool validation. Hoping the new upcoming toolbox format (2.8?) may provide some faster/smarter validation or maybe more control to optimize validation. We shall see!

Hi udai, CSDGM (FGDC) metadata that is shared must be upgraded in ArcMap to the ArcGIS metadata format. The upgrade process should copy the needed fields from the FGDC tags to the ArcGIS metadata tags. On the publish side, the metadata is stored in Enterprise in the ArcGIS format, but you can specify a format for publishing--but only one format per portal. If you update metadata on the desktop and re-publish the service, the metadata should publish with the data. You can also edit the metadata directly on the server through a web interface.

Mark, These Python toolboxes are not new. @DanPatterson is talking about a new toolbox format only used for system tools that will be available to users at a later release.

I like your style! ArcView 3.2 is based on a very old (long unsupported, company is long gone) runtime environment ("Neuron Data") c. 1998 so you may be out of luck. Though, before you give up I would try running ArcView in compatibility mode. Or, it may be a matter of installing some fonts that are on your old machine that aren't on the new one. Here's a post on Stack Exchange that does mention the fonts that may be needed to be installed.

Guess you need to sign up for 2.8 testing, which I'm sure will be coming soon now that 2.7 is out the door! http://earlyadopter.esri.com

I was told during beta testing that this is being set up for Esri distributed tools only and they will expose tools and documentation so users can create their own toolbox folders in a later release. There are apparently some huge performance and functionality improvements with this new format.

It is best to avoid OBJECTID as a key in joins for any datasets that persist for any length of time because this is a system maintained value that may be (and often is) modified by edits to the dataset, which includes format conversions and data copies that happen when publishing feature layers. It is best practice to create non-objectid fields (which can be populated by copying the OBJECTID field to them) to use as join fields (keys) in your data model.

Nice ModelBuilder workaround @NeelKumar ! I now remember hearing about this method from @ShitijMehta at the Esri UC! @MarkFawkes : AS posted in my reply to Dan, I do have a workaround using insertLayer in arcpy.mapping which would seem to be something to get what I want - just need to delve a bit more into ArcPy to get this working. You could use arcpy.mapping insertLayer method within a python function using the Calculate Value tool ( avoiding the need to create and attach a Python script.) Good thread - we have identified two approaches for ModelBuilder tool to add a layer without exposing a parameter!

I would check to see if the inputs all have M and Z enabled (or not). Something to try is to copy to an intermediate working file geodatabase and try to merge the output. These datasets can be really detailed so I recommend creating a empty template dataset (using Create Feature Class) and running Append to avoid introducing domain/resolution changes.

If you are running a model as a tool, in the model properties set the output dataset model parameter to Derived (not Input or Output). Then the parameter will not show up in the tool dialog but it still will be added to the map when the model is run as a tool. (Add to Display only works when running the model in Edit mode, which I don't think is what you are doing here.) This advice applies to both ArcMap and Pro. Update: @NeelKumar is correct, my mistake, this parameter choice only applies to script tools.

Go to the Selection menu and look at the selection options, the settings there (mxd-specific) that set the current 'interactive selection method'. By default, the method is new selection (shift makes it temporarily add to selection) but if add to selection is the current selection method, clicking on more points (without shift) adds them to the current selection. See the help here.
