Good Morning Is there a way to add multiple layers from a web service to a web map at once and have them all as individual layers in the web map? I have a large ArcGIS Server services that has well over 100 layers. I need it in a web map , but I need to create layers groups in that web map and as far as I can see the only way to do that is to import each layer in separately and then add it to a layer groups that I create. Any ideas on how to do this all at once? A script of some sort? Thanks Larisa ... View more

Hi,  I have Excel spreadsheets that happen to have mixed x y coordinates. Some records are in Lat Long and other are in UTM NAD83 (Zone17). This happens often with teh data I get back from my client. I can't change what they are doing. So I need to convert it.  I would like to keep the data in Excel and not have to pop it in and out of ArcGIS to do the conversions, because I do have to return eh data to them in Excel format. Does anyone have a macro or some sort of batch processor that will allow be to convert from Lat Long to UTM with my conversion NAD83(Zone17)?  Thanks Larisa ... View more

Hello,  Can anyone help me configure the search option on a hosted feature layer that I am using in an Experience that I am building? The current search I am using will only return results if they are exact. Is there any way to make this return all results that contain the word I am searching? Thanks Larisa ... View more

Hello, I would like to use one of the many world vector tile maps as a basemap for a map that I am creating in ArcMap. The problem I am having is that I can search for and select the vector tile base map that I want to use, but it will not display in Arcmap. I must be missing something fundamental that I can't figure out. It is one of the Antique style vector maps. any ideas what I am doing wrong? thanks Larisa ... View more

Does anyone know how I can use scripts in a model to publish a map service to ArcGIS  Server Manger from an mxd? I know that I have been circling around the answer and the correct code for days now, but I have two problems...1) I cannot quite get python script to work and 2) I am not sure how to actually add it to a model. I am new to this. I have used the code provided from this link: CreateMapSDDraft—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop  and I can get it to run without errors, BUT I have no idea where my sdraft is...or if it has worked. It looks like it does nothing. I am not sure where the files go!  And then to top it off, I need to have this run in a model. Any help on where (file location) I should be looking for my published service would be great. I know I am missing something small and fundamental. Thanks Larisa ... View more

I have to create a process where once an Excel spreadsheet is updated a model is run to create a series of geocodes and joins to finally spit out a new file in a gdb. I have that down and it works...but I also need that map and the data that belongs to it, exported to pdf. I have that tool, but I am not sure how to link it all up in one model. HELP?! I would normally just run my model, open up the updated mxd and then export it, but I am creating this for people who do not know ArcGIS/ArcMap. They update the spreadsheet, have access to run the model and that is all. The final product that is needed is a pdf of the map. Any ideas on how I can add the "Export map to PDF" in Model Builder once the final files from that model have run and have been added to my mxd?? Thanks Larisa ... View more
