I'm building a Streets Network Dataset, nearly identical to one that existed previously.  Every time I try to build the dataset, I receive this error: [ATTACH=CONFIG]32267[/ATTACH] All of the Parameters and Evaluators for my Attributes are the same as the pre-existing Network Dataset. Is there anything else I could look at that this error might be referring to? Any input appreciated.. thanks! ... View more

I'm having a problem geocoding roundabout intersections in my Streets dataset.  I think the reason could be that the two roads actually intersect twice because of the way the roundabout is drawn. Has anyone come into contact with this? Is there a better way to portray a roundabout intersection that will allow a geolocator to find it? [ATTACH=CONFIG]32157[/ATTACH] ... View more

Has anyone noticed that the Validate_Attribute_Lookup method seems to add a space to the end of an attribute value? When I use it to validate a street name from the MasterStreetName table, it adds a trailing space to the value. I don't believe this was happening before I started incorporating the MUNICIPALITY field as part of the same method. I've eliminated the possibility that the space exists in the MasterStreetName table. Anyone have any thoughts on this? ... View more

I use keyboard shortcuts to switch between tools quickly during editing. I would love to be able to set up keyboard shortcuts for "Change Segment to..." for line editing. I currently have to select a line, edit vertices, right-click, hover over 'Change Segment', select type (e.g. bezier). I'm cleaning up Centerlines for our entire County, so a shortcut would save me a great deal of time. Also, I'm not sure why this isn't already around, but I'd like to see a keyboard shortcut for the 'Identify' function. It would be nice to minimize clicks when switching between Identify & Select. ... View more

Is there anything wrong with loading data into versioned feature class using the data load function in ArcCatalog? I performed this task on a Street_Centerlines feature class in my own version, but it appears to have caused a massive data corruption to occur in both my version and the Default version.  I hadn't posted the changes, but I did perform the data load outside of an edit session. I tested this process in an inactive sde database, and it worked flawlessly.  When I later attempted it on the active database (which has considerably more overhead), it broke. The goal here was to delete all features from the Street_Centerlines feature class, and load in an updated version of the feature class without disconnecting users.  I know this isn't the best practice, but I was trying to work around the limitations of using Truncate and Append on a versioned data set.  Any thoughts or insights on this topic are appreciated! ...

I have a RoadCenterline feature class, and have added the parsed FULLNAME attribute fields (ROADPREDIR, ROADNAME, ROADTYPE, ROADPOSTDIR).  I would like to get the associated data for each RoadCenterline feature from its match in the MasterStreetName table. I originally attempted to do this with a simple join, but it's not working correctly.  The issue seems to be in the one-to-many nature of the relationship; each MasterStreetName record applies to many RoadCenterline features. I thought I might be able to concoct a solution using the DynamicValue table.  I'm just not sure which value methods to use, or how to go about doing it efficiently. Does anyone have any ideas, or direction? Thanks! ... View more

Is it possible for the DynamicValue table to handle conditions? For example, if I want to populate the MUNILEFT/MUNIRIGHT fields onCreate of a RoadCenterline feature, how can I populate the attributes when the feature falls outside a municipality? I'd like to populate the attributes with the "County" value in those cases. Can something like this be done without creating a new boundary feature class? ... View more
