There's some certificate/PKI stuff you can specify also in GIS(.. https://developers.arcgis.com/python/api-reference/arcgis.gis.toc.html#gis   but well out of my depth there, good luck! ... View more

Hi, What is the projection of the second shapefile? You can project it to the same as the 'big' shapefile. I guess the pictures will explain it better but they just show as 'virus scan in progress' for me and I can't open them. I'd certainly say you could find triangles and quadrilaterals easily enough by looking at the geometries, but 'perfect' squares and triangles would have to be fuzzy-matched in a more complex process as they are unlikely to be digitized exactly.  Bringing projection geometry shifts into the mix could also warp the features. ...

I'm not entirely getting your workflow, but the OBJECTID is usually mangled in certain geoprocessing workflows (e.g. where datasets are combined, joined etc.) and when dealing with tables in relational databases. Without elaborating a bit more, the only thing I could think of is exporting to something like a shapefile, deleting the old OBJECTID field (shapefile has an FID field now), then exporting back to an FGDB.  However I appreciate you may have millions of records or complex relationship classes etc.  ...

ArcMap seems to have a parcel division tool: https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/10.3/manage-data/editing-parcels/dividingparcelsbyarea.htm though I've never done parcel fabrics and can't give any more advice on this.   If you can get a go on pro: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/data-management/subdivide-polygon.htm seems like a good option.   Would love to see the code behind these tools, this seemed like a very complex ask for irregular polygons. ...

Can you share the parameters of the iterate feature selection? I would guess it's not iterating over the fields properly if you don't get more than 1 output. You could buffer all the data by the width field then run the iterate feature selection on that to then export as new shapefiles, if that doesn't work then you know it's the iterator at fault. I don't use model builder, so I don't quite get the 'width to buffer distance' coming from the iterator, shouldn't you just specify the 'width' field as a parameter in the buffer (or is that what it shows?).   ...

It's a bit of a blunt instrument, but you could run a generate near table https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/analysis/generate-near-table.htm   then filter the results in excel etc. i.e. get rid of matches where PlaceName is not the same.   Model builder you would do something like iterate feature selection on the place points, but it gets complicated by having to filter the home locations by workplace at the same time.       ...

Does your shapefile display properly in Arc? does running the check geometry tool return anything funky? Can you show the projection info etc also. ... View more

I've never done a field calculation in Pro I admit, but unless the syntax has changed quite a bit here's my take on it: Ensure the python parser is used. I've also added an else to catch where condition 1 and 2 are not met (which I believe is a possibility) expression = calc(!Other!, !F25_29!) def calc(field1, field2): if field1 >= 1 and field2 >=1: result = field1 + field2 elif field1 <1 and field2 < 1: result = 0 else: result = -9999 return result‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

For the sake of efficiency, it might be better to verify the data first (perhaps use bookmarks or map series navigation to go through them, or create a locator from the feature to easily search). Then export the entire map series on the verified data. (or just export the entire series and do the validation from the pdf's? although of-course I'm not sure if the validation is that simple).  It's a step in the right direction to automate the map creation, but why have a tool to do it individually still? There's also the python option of replicating the Map Series functionality. If you give more info on the task, there might be some other processes that can be automated, although the user may not be as delighted at this as you may expect....
