Hi, We are using Field Maps for aerial surveys and the altitude value of the points collected is very important in survey estimates. We understand that points collected directly at your location are attributed with the GPS metadata, but if the points are offset no metadata is included. As a post-survey work around I need to determine the altitude from the nearest tracker points for all offset points. We have been trying to use the arcgis API for Python to go through each point in the survey point feature layer,  find the nearest track point and altitude value, then update the survey point altitude with the nearest track point altitude value. Similar to this post,  we are getting the Exception: Invalid format of input layer. Below is an example of the code we have tried. According to the api-reference,  the input types should accept simple point coordinates and the lat., long. pair should be fine, but this does not work. Is there a way to get the input to accept a feature or a feature converted to a point geometry object? Can someone please assist!   tracks_lyr = FeatureLayer(tracks_svc) i = 0 for key, value in calc_dict.items(): while i in range(len(calc_dict.items())): print(i) for point in key: oid = point.attributes['OBJECTID'] print(oid) x = point.geometry["x"] y = point.geometry["y"] pt_coord = (x,y) tracks_nearby = find_nearest(analysis_layer = pt_coord, near_layer=tracks_lyr, measurement_type="StraightLine", max_count =3) print(tracks_nearby) try: for r in cur: with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(herring_svc, ["ESRIGNSS_ALTITUDE"]) as cur: if r[0] == 1500: print(r[0]) cur.updateRow(r) else: print("pt has altitude value of " + str(r[0])) except Exception as e: #arcpy.AddMessage("Error updating point: " + str(e)) print("Error updating point: " + str(e))   Thanks in advance!

Hi, I am new to Experience Builder and would like the current local date to appear in a text box. The idea is the map displays current survey day results for surveys and then another page displays all surveys, so the '3/2/2021' would update dynamically each day. Is there a way to accomplish this? I'm not seeing an option since its not directly linked to selected data. Thanks in advance, Kathy ... View more

Hello, I am putting together base map imagery .tpkx files to sideload on iPads for use in ArcGIS Field Maps in offline data collection environments. The surveys are for aerial surveys and cover large areas. The iPads have internal storage of 256 GB so we have lots of space. I've created .tpkx files that are range from 5 GB to 12 GB to date. The basemaps .tpkx seem to function ok within Field Maps, but we haven't thoroughly tested. Is there a limit or maximum size recommended for the .tpkx when using in Field Maps? Does the size of the .tpkx slow down the app or cause issues? I have only read more of the device limitations if there isn't enough space to store the larger .tpkx, but I haven't found anything on the app functionality. Thanks in advance for any info, Kathy ...

Hello, I have an ArcGIS Pro (2.7) project set up that is using feature layers from AGOL. I then have a script tool and Notebook I have been using for a number of tasks including updating definition queries for a number of layers in several of the maps. This has been working fine until today. Today the same feature layers are  not updated or even allow definition queries. In the code to help troubleshoot we checked to see if the feature layer supports definition queries: print(lyr.name, "", lyr.supports("DEFINITIONQUERY")) and it returns false for a number of layers. It does work for updating the definition query in the tracks layer I have in the project. I'm so perplexed on why the feature layers no longer support definition queries using python? I can manually do this in the project, but obviously this is not what I want. I have tried several different feature layer services and I'm running into the same issue. These are ones I shared thru ArcGIS Pro to AGOL, but the script/definition query was working last week. What could cause this change in the feature layer service for the layer to return a 'false' on supporting DEFINITIONQUERY????? Thanks in advance!!! Kathy ... View more
