Does any know if this will be released for ArcGIS Pro independently of Enterprise? As of now I use the US govt Utility Network Template for storm, water and sanitary which I adapted for use in Canada and have been awaiting geometric network support in ArcGIS Pro.

AA only works on newly created objects for me. If I try to modify an existing one I receive the error shown below in the attachment. If I click okay a "processing rules" windows comes up but never finishes. I have to close ArcMap and start over. I am using the Canadian Municipal model if that makes any difference.

We are having issues loading maps in Explorer, pretty well every map displays "Unable to open Map - Invalid XML" upon trying to open. I believe this has been a random problem in the past but now all maps will not load. All of these maps worked perfectly in the past.

Thanks, that solved the problem.

We are trying to document a storm event here so I grabbed our Ipad and went out taking what I thought where geotagged pics with Long and Lat. Unfortunately not, someone had turned off Location services for the camera. I was able to download an app called GEO photo for Win 10 and locate the pictures manually. However when I bring them into ArcGIS they are all upside down. I tried copying the directory the photos were in and turning them all upside down, then brought them with the script. Still upside down. Any ideas?

Running the abandon tool tool gives me the following message: "Traceback (most recent call last): File "T:\GIS\ESRI\WaterUtilityNetworkEditingA4W\MapsandGeodatabase\Local Government.tbx#AbandonFeatures_localgov.py", line 70, in <module> AttributeError: DescribeData: Method nameString does not exist Failed to execute (AbandonFeatures). Failed at Thu Apr 07 14:58:11 2016 (Elapsed Time: 21.97 seconds)" 68 AbLinesShapeFieldName = str(descAbLines.shapeFieldName) 69 AbLinesOIDFieldName = str(descAbLines.OIDFieldName) 70 AbLinesNameString = str(descAbLines.nameString) 71 AbLinesFeatureType = str(descAbLines.featureType) 72 AbLinesShapeType = str(descAbLines.shapeType) 73 AbLinesLenFld = str(descAbLines.lengthFieldName) I am in an edit mode and can edit either layer before I start. I thought my issue might be that I run the Canadian Data Model and also have additional fields in my Feature Class. However, if I run the sample ESRI map of Naperville I receive the same error. See the attached python script for full code.

Same situation here with the Canadian Municipal Model.

Everything looks fine here:

Same issue here and none of the above seems to help. I can edit, create and delete but unable to move a feature. The only to move the feature is to bring it back to my desktop and work on it (slow) or move it in Collector.

I finally got this straightened out for loading directly without a user account to another organization to which I shared the URL. I had a custom basemap that was not set public. On my computer my passwords are cached and the map would load from the url but I was signed in automatically. That's why I could see our featured content. When it working right all you can see is the published map, anything on the home button pulldown takes you to the ArcGIS homepage. Going through your suggestions and seeing I was already setup that way tipped me off that something else was wrong

The guest users can see the home page or featured content and if they click on the page it is loaded. Our featured content is enabled by a group called featured content. It is set the same as you show above.

‎09-29-2015

I am able to share maps outside the organization either with or without login but if the home button is clicked and home selected in the pull-down our internal featured content is viewable. How do I disable this for guests or external users?

Removing the affected content from the map and then republishing fixes the problem.

I converted our data over to CMDM about two years back. I must say I am pretty disappointed at the speed that ESRI Canada has been releasing templates for CMDM. I cannot speak for many of the templates but we use the Water Utility Network Editing template and tools here and even though it does not work 100% it is awesome. The attribute assistant does not work at all and some of the tools need parameter modifications to work properly. Some things that bother me: 1. Incredibly difficult to update versions. The LGIM has a schema migration template but no such animal exists for CMDM. It might be possible to modify but version updates shouldn't be so difficult. 2. ArcGIS Pro does not yet work with geometric networks. Apparently that m ay be coming in the next version, I am holding my breath for that one.

If I click on a watermain the info for a water meter is pops up. If I look in the table of contents the names of each item are scrambled. I had planned on just removing the affected items and re-adding content but but I cannot right click to remove any of the affected items. I am using the Canadian Municipal Data Model. Any ideas? I'd hate to have to totally recreate the map.
