This worked for a student of mine as well, so I created a document to make it easier to find the fix ArcMap Search Window Missing‌

‎09-23-2019

Issue In ArcMap, the user clicks the Search button and nothing happens (no search window opens or appears) Explanation This can happen if ArcMap fails unexpectedly and the search window location stored in the user's profile gets corrupted, or sometimes when the user moved the search window to another display and that display is no longer connected. (The search window may come up, but who knows at what screen address!) Suggested fixes Here are a few fixes to try, in this order. Close ArcMap, try the fix, and restart ArcMap and see if it fixed the problem. 1. Reset Normal.mxt in the user app profile: Resetting your ArcGIS application profile‌ 2. Reset the entire Esri folder Resetting your ArcGIS application profile‌ 3. Delete any DefaultDomain_Path folders. (Note, this may also help if the search window appears, but doesn't find anything) a. Open Windows File Explorer b. In the file path box type: %APPDATA% c. Click the up arrow to go up one folder d. Open the Local folder, in that open the ESRI folder (you should now be at: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\ESRI) e. Delete any folders with a name starting with: DefaultDomain_Path...

I think you are on the right track to do this with a script, when looping gets really complicated python scripting is much easier to work with and more robust. ArcMap background processing (64 bit) and ArcGIS Pro will not recognize them. Note, that if you have the ArcMap x64 geoprocessing installed and you run the python script from the command line, the x64 arcpy is the one you get.

It sounds like you want to nest iterators one for iterating tables, and iteration for reach row in each table. This is done by creating a submodel that iterates by row on one table, then adding that model to another model that iterates by table. There are examples in the help: ArcMap: Integrating a model within a model—Help | ArcGIS Desktop ArcGIS Pro: Add a submodel to a model—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop

So Q.1 does the order you insert a tool into the modelbuilder really matter? Q.2 is there any way of seeing the order of tools in a model and when they run in an iterator and rearranging that order to ensure the correct one runs first. The default order of execution is dependent on the order things are added to ModelBuilder. You can control the order of execution by making the output of one tool (the one you want to run first) a precondition to the tool you want to run second. In your example, make %NoExt% a precondition to your Raster To Polygon tool. Q.3 In general, is there another way of doing all of this, it seems to work OK - the main issue I had was how to save feature classes keeping the same filename but omitting the .tif but using Parse seems to work as it gives a variable without the .tif suffix. I think your method works fine. The output path you specify to Raster To Polygon can include any model variables in the path name. A few of the useful built-in model variables you can use in the output pathname are: %n% - the iteration (0,1,2,3) %workspace% - the current environment workspace %NoExt% - a model element generated by the iterator (you can use any of them). Hope you find this information helpful!

Welcome to GeoNet! The way to loop a model is set it up with parameters and then create a "driver model" that iterates and calls the your first model (submodel). In your case the 'outside' model would probably use the append tool to add the results of each iteration to your output table. Add a submodel to a model—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop

It was a fun presentation, but unfortunately Bill Moreland (the developer of ArcEdit!) explained to the audience at the one I went to that he had a lot of material that he did not permissions to share so it would not be shared publicly in the proceedings. It would be cool if Esri put some resources into that presentation as there was some good stuff in there. I got the impression it was kind of a volunteer fun thing Bill put together on his own time.

why is it not possible to get the connections remembered by default Many settings that are by-user in ArcMap are by-project in Pro, this was a design decision they made. However, you can make a connection available to all projects by wither making that connection a favorite or choosing to add that connection to all new projects.

Some things are better in Pro and one issue you may have been running into is ArcMap background processing which is the default setup. ArcMap foreground and background often have problems with various things, including file locks and properly passing layers between the foreground and background. In Pro -- all tools are run in the "background" in the GP processing thread.

Even better, in 2.4.1 this has been moved to the top of the menu instead of way down at the bottom!

‎09-07-2019

I subscribed to the bug to add to the pressure - but the bug now says it was addressed and fixed "near term" modified 8/9. That's a good sign it will be in 2.4.2. We can hope! Thank for pushing Jamal, I think the overall number is needed too!

I know of no tools that can recover corrupt tbx files (along the lines of MXD Doctor).

Hi Matt. Instead of futzing with registry group policy (which can have all kinds of nasty side effects, and may be rolled back by changes in group policy upstream of you) I suggest using scripts that use Windows environment variables to modify the seat type and license manager. I think this is easy workaround that doesn't require any tricky Windows permission setups. I have posted an example script here. ArcMap Basic Standard Professional Startup Script‌ Another approach which I think is better (less risky) than wholesale registry permissions changes is to use a securely accessed script that is set up in Windows to crank up as elevated to do a specific task like this (modify registry keys to change seat licensing) that users can launch from Windows Software Center. Hope this helps!

Frank, I suggest trying outputting to tiff or grid. Over the years, I have had all kinds of nasty bit depth problems with file geodatabase rasters. I should mention it has gotten better over the years. But, I have found raster processing more efficient and robust when working with file based formats. Map Algebra uses .tif as its intermediate format of raster processing workflows (not fgdb). I will often get my processing done, and then as a final step copy to fgdb if I need it there (carefully setting options for bit depth and nodata).

Have you looked at the VAAs, with cumulative upstream area, arbolate sum, and more arcane things like LevelPathID? These VAA attributes are very useful sometimes when manipulating NHDPlus. Also, the NHD now includes a scale attribute that can be used to select out tiny features you don't want when displaying at smaller scales. This is a new update to the NHD data model, and USGS would love some feedback if you find it useful (or not). Not really a spatial analyst question so I am tagging Arc Hydro‌ as folks there may have more to add.
