Hi All, I am trying to setup my legend of a map document and as you can see from the below screen grabs the symbol ends (black arrow heads) in the legend make it impossible to see what color the underlying line is. Can I edit the length of the lines that appear in the legend?? Cheers Needs to look more like this: Not like this: ... View more

Hi, I am using the below code to label contours of a small area. Due to laziness and simplicity, this polyline featureclass has both the contours AND pipes together, but they are easy to identify, as all pipes have a description in the notes field, and they have NULL in the elevation field, and visa versa. Due to these fields being this way, I am hoping to setup a simple python script to label the contours with ELEVATION and pipes with NOTES attribute. I have my code working 99%, but as the contours are so close together I want to only show every 2nd line, so they are all contours with elevation / 0.5 with no remainder. EG it would only return these: 150.00  150.25  150.50  150.75  151.00 151.25...... This code is giving me an error: def FindLabel ( [ELEVATION], [NOTES] ):   el = [ELEVATION]   nt = [NOTES]   if el > 0:     if (el%0.5)==0:       return el # returns the elevation as it contains a value   else:     return nt # returns [NOTES] as label Error: I can remove the line 'if (el%0.5)==0:' and it works fine (just a bit messy). So i know this line contains the problem. Can anyone tell me where I have gone wrong please? Thanks ... View more

Hi All, I have a py script that calls a function from another py script, and I am getting the below error: IOError: The toolbox file C:\Users\benva\AppData\Roaming\Esri\Desktop10.3\ArcCatalog\GISADMIN@SDE_Spatial@Smithy.sde\SDE_SPATIAL.GISADMIN.ToolboxServerAdminToolkit was not found. I am unsure why the below sequence is occurring, I am completely stuck and unsure how to resolve. I have double and even triple checked this directory, and the toolkit most definitely resides in this location, please see evidence of this in the below screen grab: Here is the code of the function throwing the error: - specifically line 4, arcpy.ImportToolbox() def stopStart(stopORstart,service): # set service to be '11111' to stop them all.     import arcpy     # Load required toolboxes     arcpy.ImportToolbox(r"Database Connections\GISADMIN@SDE_Spatial@Smithy.sde\SDE_SPATIAL.GISADMIN.ToolboxServerAdminToolkit")     # List of services to stop/start     Service_List = [["Weave_Main.MapServer",1], ["Weave_Alternate.MapServer",1], ["Weave_Inset.MapServer",1], ["Weave_External.MapServer",1], ["Weave_WSData_Sheets.MapServer",1]]     # Local variables:     Server_Name = "gisserver"     Port = "6080"     Admin_User = "gisadmin"     Admin_Password =     error = False     if len(service) == len(Service_List): # this loop is for checking of the input 'service' It needs to conform to the format of 5 digits (zeros or ones) to run correctly         for x in xrange(0,len(service)):             if (int(service ) != 0) and (int(service ) != 1):                 print "'service' not in the format of zero and ones: %s" % (service )                 error = True             else:                 print "'service' all good, either a zero or one:  %s" % (service )                 error = False     else:         error = True         print "Error in 'service' length: %s\nShould be == : %s" % (len(service),len(Service_List))     if error == False: # error checking, this wont run unless the above test completes         if stopORstart.title() == "Stop":             print "\nStopping Weave Services...\n"         elif stopORstart.title() == "Start":             print "\nStarting Weave Services...\n"         else:             print "\nNeeded 'Stop' or 'Start' passed through, instead this was received: " + stopORstart + "\n"             return         for x in xrange(0,len(service)): # this code manipulates the Service_List to be either zero (dont run) or one (run)             Service_List [1] = service         for x in xrange(0,len(service)):  # this starts or stops the appropriate services, as defined by the services string             if int(Service_List [1]) == 1:                 print Service_List [0] + " is set to " + Service_List [1] + ".
