Hi All. I have custom models loaded into the Tools section of the Analysis Ribbon in ArcGIS Pro. Originally, one of my tools had a description (originally built in ArcMap) that now displays as the ScreenTip when you hover over the tool. I want to update the ScreenTip as the tool has been heavily modified with the new functionality in ArcGIS Pro but I can't find anyway to edit the ScreenTip. I've tried editing the Metadata page but this won't flow through to the tool (even after removing it and adding it again).  ... View more

I've got a feature class that I am trying to remove the Global ID and editor information fields from. So far, the best way I can figure out is to create a new version of the feature class without the fields and append the data across. I've tried the following code I found online and tweaked, but am stuck on the field mapping.  The input FC is "Prod_Temp" and I want the output to be "Prod_Sync". The fields listed in myfields are the fields in "Prod_Temp" that I want to retain. When I run the script, it complains about something around Line 10. I think I'm misunderstanding the input option for map.addInputField(existingFC, field).  Any pointers? # feature class I want to copy from existingFC = (r"W:\TEMP\Prod_Temp.gdb\Prod_Temp") # list of fields I want to keep (capitalization counts!) myfields = ['FPCBusinessArea', 'Location', 'OpType', 'OperationStatus', 'Contractor', 'ContractorSupervisor', 'SupervisorPhone', 'FPCOIC', 'FPCOICPhone', 'Machinery', 'Comments', ] # create an empty field mapping object mapS = arcpy.FieldMappings() # for each field, create an individual field map, and add it to the field mapping object for field in myfields : map = arcpy.FieldMap() map.addInputField(existingFC, field) mapS.addFieldMap(map) # copy the feature class using the fields you want Prod_Sync = arcpy.FeatureClassToFeatureClass_conversion(existingFC, r"W:\TEMP\Prod_Sync.gdb", "Prod_Sync", "", mapS)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

I have an ArcGIS Pro project with 2 maps and a layout. I have an ArcOnline feature service loaded in which has labels. I am attempting to convert those labels to Annotation so that I can move some of them off of the feature they are covering up (also tried doing this through the Maplex positioning functions and haven't had much luck there either). In the map window, I right-click the labelled layer and select "Convert Labels to Annotation...". I then check all the settings in the Geoprocessing window to be the correct map, convert Single Layer, reflect the correct layer, have the scale set to 1:10,000 (matches the map reference scale), I've selected an output GDB, changed the suffix (and tried leaving as default too), checked the Extent is the same as Current Display Extent and then "Run".  It supposedly runs successfully but the output Annotation layer is empty - and I'm at a loss as to why!!!  We had one run actually successful with 3 labels (by accident trying to show a colleague the issue) and now can't repeat it.  Yes, ArcGIS Pro is the latest version too.  ...

Can someone please explain to me what the perceived benefits of using Contingent Values are instead of using SubTypes? Contingent values—Geodatabases | ArcGIS Desktop  I understand that by using Contingent values you essentially have 2 lists (Domains), with the 2nd list being filtered by the selection from the first list. This compares to Subtypes where the selection of the first list would determine which secondary list another field looks to (multiple lists to pick from).  Also, what I can't find anywhere is if I setup data using Contingent Values and publish the layer as a service to ArcOnline, will the Contingent values be honoured (and be editable via the Data tab on the service overview page as you can with Domains)? ...

I have 2 dictionaries (A and B). A is a new list of keys which is being checked against B. If a key is in B but not A (is an old value), I'm attempting to get the first value from the associated key in the dictionary (in this case an OBJECTID).  The issues I'm having are with line 32. As far as I can tell, this should iterate through all the keys in B, see if they're in A, and if not, write their value to a text file. As it happens, the text file is just getting the full list of old values (dictionary B) instead of only the ones not in both feature classes/dictionaries. Where are we going wrong? I've attached the output text file import arcpy # Set environmental variables arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True new = r"W:\Mapping\ArcGIS Online\ArcGIS Online Features.gdb\Collector_patch" #new feature class old = r"W:\Mapping\ArcGIS Online\Upload.gdb\AGOL_Export" #old feature class field = 'LinkKey', 'OBJECTID' #feature class fields to compare & return fout = r"W:\Mapping\ArcGIS Online\FPC Plantations Features to Delete.txt" #output text file a = {} b = {} #The old feature class is loaded into dictionary b with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(old, (field)) as rows:     for row in rows:         if row[0] not in b:             b[row[0]] = [row[1]] #The new feature class is loaded into dictionary a with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(new, (field)) as rows:     for row in rows:         if row[0] not in a:             a[row[0]] = [row[1]]         #Below compares the dictionaries and extracts features with old Linkkeys" fo = open(fout, "w") for k, v in b.iteritems():     if k not in a.items()[0]:         print k         print v         fo.write(str(v[0]) + ',') print "Linkkeys not in new feature class exported" fo.close()‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...
