As John Lucotch mentioned, if GeoWare is built off of SQL Server, then you could make a database connection to the SQL Server database and see the tables in there.  Are you attempting to make an ArcMap Join to tie the 2 tables together?  Pls advise. Regards, Robert LeClair Esri-Denver ... View more

Essy - would you be able to provide more details?  As you know, an *.apm is an ArcPad Map Document that can reference shapefiles.  Are you trying to convert the ArcPad document to a shapefile or something else?  Pls advise. ... View more

Esri Downloads - updated link. I suspect it will not work for 10.4 as this has not been a supported tab for a few releases now. ... View more

In researching further, an analyst found the workaround may be somewhat resolved by: <CLIP> On my system, if I click over 2 data driven pages, then click back one, the second page exports correctly also.  However, this workaround does not work on the customer's systems! The hang appears to occur when the single arrow, to change over one page, in the Data Driven Pages is clicked.  If the single arrow is clicked twice, the next page exports. <END CLIP> The bug is listed high priority but I don't see a planned resolution date. ...

Jonathan - yes, renaming/deleting the ..\ESRI folder will reset ArcMap back to "factory settings" - as you pointed out, there would be substantial loss.  In further researching this issue, there is a bug 000084894 related to exporting Data Driven Pages Map Book to PDF that throws this error.  The workaround in this case is to export the entire document page by page - not ideal.  Are you exporting a Map Book series to PDF?  Pls advise. ...

Frank - I looked into the status update for bug 85475 and it's marked a "High Severity", the status is "Open:  Assigned" but I'm not seeing when it's to be fixed.  I'd suggest contacting Support Services to have your Customer Number added to the bug report and ask when they know when it may be addressed. ...

Luke - per my discussions with the Pro Dev Team, they said that "coming in 1.2, customers can request to use Single Use, Concurrent Use, or Named Users.  In fact, customers don't have to wait until their maintenance times out to request the appropriate license for their site."  A blog post has not been written yet but there will be in the near future - so soon.  Hope this helps. ...

Michael - another suggestion.  Is your data being stored in a multiuser geodatabase?  From my research, there could be a version with invalid geometries.  If so, delete the features.  Delete the spatial grid index.  Recreate a new spatial grid index.  Recalculate the spatial extent of the feature class.  ...

Depending on how the original numbers are represented, the field calculations would be pretty easy as documented here - Converting degrees-minutes-seconds values to decimal Ddegree values—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop From there, you could add it as an XY Event Layer in ArcMap and export it to a new feature class. ...

By chance, are you projecting on the fly with your layers in the data frame?  For example, you're dataframe coordinate system is WGS1984 while the layers are in your local state frame?  If so, then this may explain the issue you're seeing. ... View more

You're welcome Matt.  To clarify the "may request" - if a customer chooses not to renew their maintenance, no problem.  The customer would contact My Esri/Customer Care Portal and download the release locked Pro license to continue using Pro. As this information has been public for many months, I highly doubt Esri would go back upon it.  Caveat - I do not work for the Esri Pro Dev Team and am an Esri ArcGIS Pro/Desktop/ArcSDE Instructor.  This is what I've been able to ascertain from conferences, discussions with the Pro Team, etc...  With regard to investing workflows in Pro, you can run parallel workflows in ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro concurrently.  If and/or when you choose to switch to ArcGIS Pro is up to you and your organization.  Hope this clarifies my comments. ...

Graeme - No public announcement per se but at the 2015 International Users Conference, ArcGIS Pro presenters in the Technical Workshops mentioned new licensing options for Pro 1.2 (scheduled for Q1 2016). Concurrent licensing - uses same/similar ArcGIS License Administrator as ArcMap. SIngle Use License - if you discontinue maintenance, a user may request a release locked standalone license for Pro.  Pro will not be eligible for updates.  It will open *.aprx's and be locked to that release where maintenance was discontinued.  One would still have access to ArcGIS Online/Portal services. ...
