All, 1/ I do query and zoom to selection in layout view. 2/ If I have only 1 map frame, the below codes work just fine. 3/ When I added a another map frame for locator map, I got the error "layer does not exist". I guess I have to specify which map it should use but I don't know how. Thanks for your help. var myLyr = MapView.Active.Map.FindLayers(featureLayerName).FirstOrDefault() as FeatureLayer; if (myLyr == null) throw new Exception(string.Format("The feature class: {0} does not exist", featureLayerName));‍‍‍

Hi Uma Harano‌, Line 12 returns an error : graphic shape property can not be null or empty. What did I do wrong? maxPoint is not null. Thank you! var poly = shape.GetShape() as Polygon; var maxX= poly.Extent.MMax; var maxY= poly.Extent.YMax; MapPoint maxPoint = MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(maxX, maxY); if (maxPoint != null) { myLabelGraphic.Shape = maxPoint; myLabelGraphic.Placement = Anchor.CenterPoint; myLabelGraphic.Text = myText; myLabelGraphic.Symbol = myTextSymbol.MakeSymbolReference(); graphicsLayer.AddElement(myLabelGraphic); }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hi I'm trying to have an element placed at the bottom left corner of the selected feature but can't figure out how to do it. I can place it at the center of the polygon fine but not at any other positions. Your help is much appreciated. while (foundCursor.MoveNext()) { using (var row = foundCursor.Current) { var shape = row as Feature; var poly = shape.GetShape() as Polygon; myLabelGraphic.Shape = poly.Extent; myLabelGraphic.Placement = Anchor.BottomLeftCorner; }

I guess I didn't have it defined. I'm not familiar with python so please excuse my stupid questions above. I'll try to see if I can define the argv. Thank you!

All, My python codes were generated from ModelBuilder. At the process of "Table To Excel" I need to have 2 parameters: File_Path and File_Name. So in "Properties" of Script, I add those 2 parameters but the parameter for File Path doesn't work. No error but file was saved to the "Scratch" folder. What step that I missed? Thanks for your help. # Model Environment settings with arcpy.EnvManager(scratchWorkspace=r"C:\ModelBuilder\Scratch\Output.gdb", workspace=r"C:\ModelBuilder\Scratch\Output.gdb"): Output_gdb = "C:\\ModelBuilder\\Scratch\\Output.gdb" # Process: Table To Excel (Table To Excel) (conversion) arcpy.conversion.TableToExcel(Input_Table=Parcels_Lots_DeleteIdentical, Output_Excel_File=ExcelFileName_xls, Use_field_alias_as_column_header="ALIAS", Use_domain_and_subtype_description="DESCRIPTION") if __name__ == '__main__': SqftMapToExcelNewLoc(*argv[2:])‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

That's it. Triple quotes solved my issue. Thank you so much Dan Patterson.

All, My model works fine but when I export it to python I got syntax error SyntaxError: "EOL while scanning string literal" . Any idea why? I've tried many simple calculation functions. Got same errors for all. Thank you! EX: # Process: CalField_Ac (Calculate Field) (management) ToAcres = arcpy.management.CalculateField(in_table=FromSqft, field="Acres", expression="round((float(!Sqft!)/43560),4)", expression_type="PYTHON3", code_block="", field_type="TEXT")[0] ‍‍ or # Process: CalField_BlkNum (Calculate Field) (management) Calculate_BlkNum = arcpy.management.CalculateField(in_table=myTable, field="Blk_Num", expression="fn(!Blk_Num!,!Acct_Num!)", expression_type="PYTHON3", code_block="def fn(Blk_Num,Acct_Num): if (Blk_Num) is not None: return Blk_Num else: return 1 ", field_type="TEXT")[0]‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks Rich!

Hi Rich, I'm a little confused here so let's clarify more about my table. Yes I can have my table live inside a geodatabase but my table is just a tabular table. In ArcObjects for Arcmap addin, I used these codes to update a sql table doesn't matter where my table is. So you say in ProSDK I can no longer do that? Thanks Rich! Dim sqlConnection As New SqlConnection(sConStr) Dim cmdUpdate As New SqlCommand cmdUpdate.Connection = sqlConnection cmdUpdate.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure cmdUpdate.CommandText = "sp_CalculateRate" cmdUpdate.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter With {.ParameterName = "@ABCD", .SqlDbType = SqlDbType.VarChar, .Value = strABCD}) cmdUpdate.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter With {.ParameterName = "@EFGH", .SqlDbType = SqlDbType.VarChar, .Value = strEFGH}) sqlConnection.Open() cmdUpdate.ExecuteNonQuery() cmdUpdate.Dispose() sqlConnection.Close()

Correct it's just a sql table in database NOT a geodatabase. My end goal to to have a sql table with a common field with my feature layer and the two joined so I can label my feature layer using a field from the sql table since I'm not allowed to edit the feature layer. Or is there a better way to achieve what I need to do? Thank you Rich.

Hi, I'd like to update my stand alone sql table base on values returned from my selection set. I was able to get the selection part but I couldn't find any snippets for updating sql table. Thank you for your help. Your help is greatly appreciated.

In ArcObjects I placed text element at centroid of selected features. If I want to do the same thing in Pro SDK what snippets should I look for ? Is it the overlay? Can I do this in layout view ? My users asked me to keep the old way so they can move the callouts around to their taste . Thank you. Public Sub AddCompCallout_mapview(pFeature As IFeature, strCompLabel As String, strCompNum As String) 'add callout text Dim pTextElement As ITextElement pTextElement = New TextElement Dim pElement As IElement pElement = pTextElement pTextElement.Text = strCompLabel + " " + strCompNum Dim pArea As IArea Dim pPointCentroid As IPoint = New Point Dim pPointAnchor As IPoint = New Point Dim pEnv As New Envelope pEnv = pActiveview.Extent pEnv.XMax = pFeature.Shape.Envelope.XMax pEnv.XMin = pFeature.Shape.Envelope.XMin pEnv.YMax = pFeature.Shape.Envelope.YMax pEnv.YMin = pFeature.Shape.Envelope.YMin pArea = pFeature.Shape pPointCentroid.PutCoords(pEnv.LowerRight.X, pEnv.UpperRight.Y) pPointAnchor = pArea.Centroid pElement.Geometry = pPointCentroid 'font Dim pFontDisp As stdole.IFontDisp pFontDisp = New stdole.StdFont pFontDisp.Name = "Arial" pFontDisp.Bold = True pFontDisp.Size = 14 'color Dim pColor As ESRI.ArcGIS.Display.IRgbColor = New RgbColor pColor.Blue = 255 pColor.Green = 0 pColor.Red = 0 Dim pTextSymbol As IFormattedTextSymbol pTextSymbol = New TextSymbol Dim pCallout As ICallout pCallout = New BalloonCallout pTextSymbol.Background = pCallout pTextSymbol.Color = pColor pTextSymbol.Font = pFontDisp pCallout.AnchorPoint = pPointAnchor Dim pMargin As ITextMargins pMargin = pCallout With pMargin .LeftMargin = 1 .RightMargin = 1 .BottomMargin = 1 .TopMargin = 1 End With pTextElement.Symbol = pTextSymbol Dim pGraphicsContainer As IGraphicsContainer pGraphicsContainer = pMxDoc.ActiveView 'pGraphicsContainer.DeleteAllElements() pGraphicsContainer.AddElement(pElement, 0) pElement.Activate(pMxDoc.ActiveView.ScreenDisplay) pMxDoc.ActiveView.PartialRefresh(esriViewDrawPhase.esriViewGraphics, Nothing, Nothing) End Sub‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Yes there's order. I have a listbox that store all accounts to search for in order. Thanks.

Hi all, My ultimate goal to add callout text to my selected features with an incremental value like "sale 1", "sale 2"," sale 3" ect... What I have right now is to set up label to display label in callout text and use this snippet to turn the label on for selected features. My issue is my label doesn't come from attribute table and each label is different from the others. How do I modify this code to make it work or if this approach doesn't work in my case, what else could I use to accomplish it? Thank you very much. //Layer to label. US Cities lyr was used var lyrOfInterest = MapView.Active.Map.GetLayersAsFlattenedList().OfType<FeatureLayer>().FirstOrDefault(); QueuedTask.Run(() => { var selection = MapView.Active.Map.GetSelection(); //Get the OIDs of the selected features //We will use this to label those features only var selectedOIDs = selection[lyrOfInterest]; //Get the layer's definition var lyrDefn = lyrOfInterest.GetDefinition() as CIMFeatureLayer; if (lyrDefn == null) return; //Get the label classes - we need the first one //Or you could create a new label class var listLabelClasses = lyrDefn.LabelClasses.ToList(); var theLabelClass = listLabelClasses.FirstOrDefault(); //set the label class Expression to use the Arcade expression theLabelClass.Expression = "$feature.CITY_NAME"; //label using city name //Where clause is set to the OIDs of the selected features theLabelClass.WhereClause = $"OBJECTID IN ({string.Join(",", selectedOIDs)})"; //theLabelClass.TextSymbol = Set to any text symbol you want //Set the label definition back to the layer. lyrOfInterest.SetDefinition(lyrDefn); lyrOfInterest.SetLabelVisibility(true); }); ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hello Uma, I hope you could help me a bit more regarding labeling issue above. My end goal is to loop through the selection and assign an incremental # to the label for each selected feature. Ex: Sale 1, Sale 2, Sale 4. These customized labels won't be from in any attribute field. How do I do that? Thanks in advance.
