It would be useful if I could add a represenative fraction as dynmaic text so I can then include this in sentances. My work around is to set the representative scale to match the represenrtative fraction and use that. The alternative is not to display an RF at all or to type it in manually. ... View more

Hi there I'm trying to copy a road centre line so that I have a left and right footway. This is in a file geodatabase but the centre road lines come originally from an ArcSDE database. To do this I am using copy parallel as it needs to be linked to an Excel Spreadsheet and representations only work with feature classes. Previously I had managed to do this. Today I was about to do the right hand side and create a feature class with the attributes preserved. However when I tried to do the same to the left hand side I could not get the attributes to come across. As soon as I select more than one line, the option, Treat section as a single line is greyed out. However if it's not possible to have this option available when select multiple lines,  how come I was able to get the right hand side to be created with the attribute information intact. I am using ArcMap 10.0 but I tired it in version 10.3.1 and I'm having the same issues. Also ArcMap 10.0 kept crashing without errors. I think the issue occurs when a line length becomes less than 0. I found this didn't occur in version 10.3.1 and I actually got an error message. Although that didn't explain what was causing the issue. However at least I didn't need to restart ArcMap, which at times can be a slow process on my computer. I was thus able to find the offend row and deal with it manually. However the attributes issue was still present for everything else. Thanks for your help Tim ... View more

It would be really helpful a report could be generated of all stlyes and properties that make up the smybols in use in an ArcMap document. So a character symbol would have: font name size colour percentages off set details and everything else related. ... View more

Hi there I created a model which included creating attribute indexes and 2 attribute joins. This was done in ArcGIS 10sp4. The first two joins were tables in a file geodatabase. The final final was a polyline feature class. For the final part of the model I tried to find an export function, similar to save data when righting clicking on a layer in the table of contents, as I needed a new fully editable table. I couldn't find the same function so I ended up using the feature class to feature class tool. After running the model, I looked at the resulting exported feature class, only to find all the fields which were joined to the polyline feature class contained null. I looked at feature class from which this was copied from and that contained all the additional data from the joins. Does anyone know what I have done wrong? I expected all the join data to be included when running the feature class to feature class tool, especially as the attribute field headers were brought across. I then tried the same thing again, this time without using model builder and doing each step myself. For the final stage I just selected 4 rows of data and didn't select Keep All (optional)? and it worked. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I may have done wrong with my model? If I need to explain things further I can. The problem I have with the model is that it took 54 minutes to run. Most of that time was spent doing the feature class to feature class stage. There were 6819 records to deal with at this stage, not forgetting the joins that were in place. Kind regards Tim ... View more
