I'm creating a new map with similar symbology. The one I've been working on is too big to send. Before I do though I've done some more experimenting and it looks like the font that is not embedding is one that contains our department's official sybology.  Could there be something with the font that would stop it from embedding? Thanks,  Mark ... View more

After recruiting some help from someone who does not have any ArcGIS products installed it looks like both embedded and not embedded pdf files are showing the wrong symbols. I also opened the pdf files on my iPad and both are showing incorrectly.  So, it looks like not embedding fonts is displaying correctly; with the pdf using the font installed on my computer. And it looks like embedding fonts is not working correctly.  Thanks,  Mark ... View more

I have ArcGIS Pro 2.1.0 installed. When I have the Embed Fonts not selected the symbols appear correctly: When I have the Embed Fonts selected the symbols do not appear correctly: And when I try to open the pdf file I get this error: Fonts need to be embedded on our maps because they get posted to the web site and sometimes get printed for publications.  Thanks,  Mark ...

After looking through my mxd the problem is that I still have some layers in a personal geodatabase and I have been using a 64-bit IDE. So, that would account for having a difference between the IDE and ArcMap. ... View more

Here's the code I have have tried. It's pretty simple: it makes a list of all the layers with joins and then makes a list of the layers with joins and the name of the tables they join with. mxd=arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("current") ##mxd=arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"\\some.mxd") layers=arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd) joinList=[] tableList=[] # Discover which spatial layers have joins and add to join list for l in layers:     if l.isFeatureLayer and not l.isBroken:         flist=arcpy.Describe(l).fields         for f in flist:             if f.name.find(l.datasetName) >-1:                 joinList.append(l)                 break # Discover the tables that are joined to the spatial layers for l in joinList:     flist=arcpy.Describe(l).fields     for f in flist:         if f.name.find(l.datasetName) ==-1:             if [l.name,f.name[0:f.name.rfind(".")]] not in tableList:                 tableList.append([l.name,f.name[0:f.name.rfind(".")]]) # List spatial layer and which tables are joined to it for t in tableList:     print t‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Sorry for the formatting; I haven't posted code before. Switch the "mxd=" lines depending if you're using and IDE or the ArcMap python window. ... View more

I installed PyCharm and did this: Browse to C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3 and choose python.exe. Click OK to set the project interpreter. Click OK to close the Default Settings window. Note: It may take a moment for the settings  When I try to run the script I get an error when it tries to import arcpy. ... View more

I followed the instructions. So I set it as local and navigated to the Python.exe file in the indicated ArcGIS Pro/Python 3.5 subdirectory. ... View more

Right, I'm able to determine if a layer has a join based on the field names; but that only works if I run the script in ArcMap with the mxd open and I can determine the name of the table but not the file path. It looks like I can use that same strategy using an IDE but only if the tables are also in the same mxd with the layers they join to. When I run the script on a test mxd I get six layers with joins if I run it in the mxd and four if I use an IDE. It would be nice if I could get the table name, data source, join field, etc. Thanks ... View more

I only have one feature in the feature class that I'm deleting so switching to TruncateTable_management might not make any difference. I also create temporary sde connections in my script and then delete them at the end. ... View more

When I run DeleteRows_management nothing happens if I use the 64-bit IDE but it works with the 32-bit IDE. No error messages, not versioned, no edit session. I run DeleteRows_management on the sde feature class to clear the existing features and then run Append_management to load the new ones. ... View more
