Let me add someone who works in your field in case he has some ideas on why this is occurring: jborgion  Chris Donohue, GISP ... View more

What processes are you trying to do with Modelbuilder?  I ask as there have been several bugs in the past and many are linked to specific processes. One general fix that sometimes works is to turn off "Background Processing".  In ArcGIS, at the top, Geoprocessing, Geoprocessing Options..., then uncheck the Background Processing box.

I believe you can accomplish this with Data Driven Pages and Dynamic Text.  First, one would set up the Data Driven pages, then once that is set one would use Dynamic Text to label the Specie and Season by drawing on an attribute field.

More of a longshot, but I'll throw it out there in case the issue is unresolved.  Something I noticed which may be tripping things up is the use of a restricted character in your file path.  Note the hyphen symbol in the last folder before the csv.  While not always a game-stopper, there are several processes in ArcGIS which trip up when fed a file located in a folder with a restricted character.  So if things are still not working, try renaming that folder to see if it clears things up.  For example, an underscore is acceptable in ArcGIS, so can be used instead of the hyphen. Current: O:\plan\luam\1p2007\2018\LOC2018-0027\addresses.csv Better: O:\plan\luam\1p2007\2018\LOC2018_0027\addresses.csv Chris Donohue, GISP ... View more

ésolé si cela sort étrange - je ne sais pas le français, donc j'utilise Google Translate. Dans ArcMap, les fichiers CSV peuvent être reliés comme des classes d'entités et d'autres types de fichiers. Voir le lien ci-dessous pour plus d'informations. Si les informations contenues dans le lien ne résolvent pas votre problème, pouvez-vous fournir plus de détails sur les logiciels spécifiques que vous utilisez, sur les symptômes et sur les problèmes que vous avez tentés de résoudre? Cela aidera les autres à apporter des solutions. ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2) - Repairing Broken Links English: Sorry if this comes out strange - I don't know French, so am using Google Translate. In ArcMap, CSV files can be relinked like feature classes and other types of files.  See the link below for more information. If the information in the link does not solve your issue, can you provide more details on what specific software you are using, what the symptoms are, and what things you have tried to resolve the issue?  This will help others in proving solutions.

Here's an older blog post that may be of help.  I suspect there are some minor changes in the last several years that may need some adjusting, but at least it will provide some ideas. Generating a choice list from a field | ArcGIS Blog  Also, I'm not sure if this would be of use, but I'll toss it out there as conceptually it matches a possible solution: ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2) - Using Feedback in Iteration Chris Donohue, GISP ...

The suggestion by Jim Cousins works.  They key is to Dissolve by streetname before running the Intersect to derive the intersection points. Chris Donohue, GISP ... View more

On the manual side, it is possible to repair all the links in one shot. "When the repair to the data link is made from the table of contents, ArcMap repairs the selected layer using the data source you browse to and automatically repairs other broken layers if it can find their data sources in the same location of the data source you specified." See the Section "Repairing broken links for multiple layers" in this link: ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2)  On the automating side, I know many folks have the same issue you have in that they need to update many mxds, so have written Python code to automatically do the re-linking. There is some information on that approach in the link above, in the section "Using the arcpy.mapping module to find and repair data links for a number of map documents".  Hopefully some folks here on GeoNet can post some example code also.

I'm not sure if this will lead to a solution for your issue, but here's a similar issue that comes up in Modelbuilder and how to resolve it. Incomplete Derived Data:  ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2)  Chris Donohue, GISP ... View more

There used to be a download at the California Spatial Information Library (CASIL) for the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) "aka Township, Section, and Range data", but that site has now been rolled into the State of California Geoportal, which is a bit harder to navigate to find data.  I did a quick look and found some data for specific counties, but didn't run across the statewide layer, though it is probably there.  Also, one thing to look out for, the data is often in California Teal Albers projection, so don't be surprised by that if you are not familiar with California State datasets. Geoportal  Another option is the Bureau of Land Management.  I've used their PLSS data in California before. http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=0648d4cc4f234180bd39eaa352f99331  Chris Donohue, GISP ...

Any chance the cell size varies between your files?  This might account for the volume difference. Also, when you are doing any processing, is a Snap Raster being set in the Environments setting? ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2)  Chris Donohue, GISP ... View more

As  Abdullah Anter  mentioned, using Maplex instead of the Standard Label Engine is a good starting point.  By playing with the Maplex label settings, one can often resolve issues with overlapping labels.  However, it is not perfect, so if there is a need for a high quality map with well-placed labels, you may need to dump out the labels as annotation (either in the map or in a geodatabase), and then manually work on them.  If you go the annotation route, Maplex is still a good start - using it will reduce the amount of manually annotation work.

I've not done many Least Cost Path runs, so am not sure. However, there are some possibilities out there: As you mentioned, one possibility is to use Modelbuilder to batch process all the individual runs.  One would employ an Iterator in Modelbuilder to loop through all the populations by Least Cost Paths. You'd have to play with Modelbuilder a bit to figure it out - it's not hard to learn, but does have its quirks. ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2) If you are skilled at programming, another option is to use Python to do the batching.  This is a more elegant and efficient way to do it, but requires more skills.

It's linked - click on the text "home range tool or program".  At least, it works for me.  Does the link go anywhere for you?  If it only goes to the GeoNet homepage and not to the specific post, that apparently is a JIVE issue (the software that runs GeoNet). Chris Donohue, GISP ... View more
