Yes, you could try inserting Repair Geometry in the script (ArcGIS Help 10.1). This sometimes needs to be run a few times consecutively to fully repair the geometry. ... View more

Ok. I suggest that you delete one of your posts, and you can share the remaining post in as many places as you like. ... View more

Hi Ken, fellow Oregonian here. I would really like to help, but I don't know much about the Add-in. Where is your state data coming from? Does this add-in allow you to work with the data in ArcMap, or do you work with it in Excel only? ... View more

I'm not clear on what you're asking. You say the code is tested and working correctly, so what is it that is not working correctly? You mention your theory that schema locks are causing an issue, but that is not consistent with the iteration errors you describe. I don't really see how we can help without seeing function 2. ...

Yes, you should expect this warning with the image you're about to georeference. It hasn't been given a spatial reference yet, but that's what you are about to do! ... View more

Oh, so, first you add your basemap that is already georeferenced. Make sure it has an appropriate projection, as Chris warned. Then you add the raster you want to georeference. Scroll and zoom until you are close to the view that your raster takes up (from previous visual inspection), and THEN use "fit to display". Your raster will be fit to the extent of your view. You can always do it again if you want to get closer. After this you fine tune the fit by creating control points--first click on a part of your raster that you can identify on the basemap, then click on the corresponding location on the basemap. Make at least 4 or 5 points, and spread them around the raster if you can. Then you click Update Georeferencing. Look at this for the specific steps:ArcGIS Help 10.1 ... View more

Yes, Joseph, as Chris says, you just have to add your raster using the add button. Please don't jump out of the window though. You've only just begun on your georeferencing journey, and I'm sure there will be roadblocks ahead! Aside from the important things Chris mentioned, you are going to want to choose a layer to reference it to that has some of the same features, and that haven't changed. For example, a building, or a road intersection. Let us know if anything else trips you up! This is a fairly simple procedure once you have done it, but I know at first it can seem like some crazy science. ... View more

Additionally, you can use this same georeferenced image as your basemap, or lay it over another basemap and give it some transparency in the layer properties. Turning it into a vector layer will basically mean digitizing each feature. Not sure if this answers the second part of your question or not. ... View more

Hi Joseph, you create a raster basemap, by adding your tiff to ArcMap, and then georeferencing it. You'll need to use an existing layer to match it to, usually an orthophoto of some kind. I know you said you were trying to avoid reading, but you're basically going to have to read the georeferencing help file, whether you use the one from ESRI, or have someone else retype the same information here : Fundamentals of Georeferencing a Raster ...

Not that I know of. You can easily export maps from ArcGIS as a TIFF or JPG, but I don't know of a way to make them interactive. ... View more
