I am deploying GIS to our field workers using ArcGIS Online and mobile apps like collector, survey123, etc.  We are at the phase where we need to choose which hardware we will use.  In past projects I have used iPads successfully.  We are currently looking at both the iPad Air2 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 as options.  Some of our basic requirement are: ~9.7" in size Have LTE Cellular capability built in 64 GB of storage or more Have rugged (i.e. Otter Box Defender) case available Be purchasable through main stream channels (we are a local government agency) Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated. #Mobile #Hardware Chris McClain Lakewood MUA ...

I am having some issues with the Process MultiNet Street Data tool from the Street Data Processing Toolbox created by the Network Analyst team (found here http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=755f96fcde454ece8f790fecb3e031c7). Unfortunately this tool isn’t supported by tech support.  Do any of you have a contact within the Network Analyst team that might be able to help me. It appears the tool doesn’t like something about the Sign Path Table from TomTom.  Here is the Error from Creating signpost feature class and table... Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index at System.Collections.ArrayList.get_Item(Int32 index) at GPProcessVendorDataFunctions.ProcessMultiNetDataFunction.MakeSignGeometry(ArrayList edgesData, ArrayList reverseEdge) at GPProcessVendorDataFunctions.ProcessMultiNetDataFunction.CreateSignposts(String inputSITablePath, String inputSPTablePath, String outputFileGdbPath, IGPMessages messages, ITrackCancel trackcancel) at GPProcessVendorDataFunctions.ProcessMultiNetDataFunction.Execute(IArray paramvalues, ITrackCancel trackcancel, IGPEnvironmentManager envMgr, IGPMessages messages) Failed to execute (ProcessMultiNetData). Any help would be appreciated. Christopher McClain Sr. GIS Specialist Brick Township MUA ... View more

Is there a way to bulk load files (in this case pdfs) up to me ArcGIS Online for Organizations account?  I have some files I would like to post here but it looks like I have to load them one at a time which is a deal breaker due to volume of files. Chris M ... View more

I have uploaded Parcel Data (polygon) and Pipe Information (line) to hosted services in a free trial ArcGIS Online for Orgs hosted service.  It appears that not all of the features are coming across.  Random features seem to be dropped during the upload process.  Has anyone else seen this happen?

I would really like to see an export to CAD option or separate GP tool that would allow you to select a single or multiple attributes fields from the featureclass to define which CAD Layer the individual features will be placed.  I think with type of tool would be tremendously helpful to Utility, Waste/Water, and Local Government users who frequently need to provide data to CAD users.  In most cases you are faced with either exporting the data out without the attribute data or doing a lot of data prep or multiple selections and exports to get the desired product.  I know this can be done using model builder and automated using python but that would require a great deal of pre-planning.  I have looked at adding some of the CAD Layer properties fields to my Geodatabase but seems like a lot of data to add and maintain to add what is basically redundant data. ...

I think when I save a bookmark it should save the data frame value along with the scales and extent.  I often use bookmarks when setting up projects that will involve hard copy deliverables.  By doing this I am able to edit and work with the data at an appropriate scale and still be able to zoom back to my "layout" extent.  If i have to change the rotation either intentionally or accidentally I would like to be able to use book marks to go back to my saved "layout" via bookmark. ...
