Agree, being able to create several layouts from one map would be fantastic. So much more productive and efficient. A must would also be that each layout could utilise independent definition queries from the same source map. For me, one of the biggest benefits would be that symbology changes would automatically change for all layouts if they were all fed from one map. We should check if this has been added to the ideas list and if not it should be added. ... View more

Hi Kory. Thanks for the reply. Following your help I have now gotten this to work. Initially it didn't but... if I changed the fitting strategy to something else then back to 'adjust columns and font size' I was able to move the x and y dimensions independently. As I mentioned, perhaps this is a bug as the original template was loaded from an mxd then saved as a layout?  I also tested and a brand new legend works correctly so no issues there! Thanks for helping me as this was a genuine frustration I was having with Pro! ... View more

I've been working with Pro as and when I can. Generally I've been happy with things. Now that I have some layout templates in place life is a lot easier. One major issue is creating a legend easily. As mentioned previously a lot of the options are hidden away. Partly this is just something to learn but partly it seems to have gotten harder. The main issue I have with the legend is that when trying to enlarge the legend area I can only expand diagonally. Most of the time I have plenty of space to the right but no more space below but reshaping the box forces expansion across and down. Hopefully there is a simple fix? Maybe it is because I'm bringing in xmd templates to begin with? Any advice would be welcomed David ... View more

I have also wondered this through ArcGIS Portal. It can get tricky if the original uploader is busy/away/left. Workarounds result in multiple versions of the service which can get messy and confusing. ... View more

Hi Doug This now works but I'm having an issue downloading for offline collection in the Collector App. I get an error saying it cannot replicate. Any ideas? I have tested by adding to a map that definitely worked for download previously but get the same issue Any ideas? ... View more

Hi Doug I was able to get it to work on a simplified version of the data collection. I think linking the relationship table via ObjectID was probably a mistake. When linking it to something else it worked of in the simple version. I'll try adding in domains again and see if it works still Thanks ... View more

Thanks for your answer Matthias. That would appear to work well but we are hoping to keep everything in one self-contain python script. I'll keep it in mind for other work though ... View more

import arcpy import arcgisscripting gp = arcgisscripting.create() def Message(sMsg):     print sMsg     gp.AddMessage(sMsg) # Define the feature class  table = r"Z:\test1.xls\Sheet1$" keyField = "ID" keyIdx = -1 fields = arcpy.ListFields(table) # Get Key column Id fIdx = 0 for field in fields:     if field.name == keyField:         keyIdx = fIdx     break     fIdx += 1 dictionary = {} with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(table, ("*")) as cursor:   for row in cursor:     idx = 0     for cell in row:         if idx == fIdx:             if dictionary.has_key(str(cell)) == False:                 dictionary[str(cell)] = []         else:             if dictionary.has_key(str(row[fIdx])) == True:                 dictionary[str(row[fIdx])].append(cell)     idx += 1 # Print whole dictionary Message(str(dictionary.items())) for key in dictionary.keys():   # Print Values   Message(str(dictionary[key])) this is the updated code (not sure why the extra empty lines have added, that isn't shown on my screen!), again apologies if I've mess with how it works because we seem to have differing outputs. If it helps at all I'm using Python in PythonWin rather than directly through ArcGIS. Thanks for your help ... View more
