Just found out that when the user (with the problem) loads the raster's into ArcMap it is shown as a AIG format. AIG turns out to be a ArcGIS Binary Grid (AIG) format -which I have never heard of. When other people load the same data is appears as GRID in the layer properties vs. AIG. ... View more

are you sure it is not opening on your second screen or is minimized? If the above is not the case try deleting \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ESRI\ArcGISPro\Licensing. This key will be recreated the next time you start ArcGIS Pro. ... View more

Within a python program you can do this to get the values from the Model Process that called it. #Check to see if we have the expected number of parameters, in this case 2 if arcpy.GetParameterCount !=2:   print "Script requires two arguments (table file name and a field name)."   raise Exception # Gets the value from the Model Process theFileName= arcpy.getparameterastext(0) theFieldName= arcpy.getparameterastext(1) Some coders also use theFileName= sys.argv[1].lower() theFieldName=sys.argv[2].lower() In this case sys.argv[0] would be the name of the 'program' itself.

As requested.  I also installed ArcGIS Pro on this machine. I have Pro setup to use Concurrent Use licensing and the licenses area installed on the same server as ArcGIS Desktop licenses. Interestingly ArcGIS Pro can reach the server and get a license (Basic) while ArcMap, on the same machine, cannot.  Rich ... View more

yes the ArcGIS license manager is at 10.5.1. Note - it is not a user environment issue since multiple people have had the same issue on this machine. Rich ... View more

Sounds like you are going to re-digitize the "graphic" and Create a new feature class? If you are giving up on defining your projection correctly then you should covert the DXF to a feature class then Georefernce the data in ArcMap instead. As a reference layer load a feature class that is in the projection that you want and contains lines or points that are shown in your CAD drawing. This could be a layer with Survey control points that are shown on your DXF or an airphoto of the area you are working with (e.g., has a road that is shown on your DXF).   See details at for georeferencing: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/Georeferencing_a_CAD_dataset/001000000010000000/ As a side note, at ArcGIS 10.5.1/10.4.1 they changed how what data is allowed in a project file (.prj). In the past you could include comments in your PRJ file. Now if you have comments the prj file will not be read by ArcMap. Check your .prj that came with your DXF and remove any comments. Rich ...

To be more precise, the Locate Features Along Routes tool in the Linear Referencing toolbox will do this for you. The output of the tool is an Event Table with point data showing where your polygons intersect your routes. ... View more

Good news! with ArcGIS Desktop 10.5.1 and Windows 10 Build 1703 .xlsx file now work without issue. On the downside Microsoft just released a new KB, KB4041676 (OS Build 15063.674), patch on October 10th, 2017 that breaks connects to .xls file 😞 More at information on this at http://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000016969 ...

One issue with this solution is if you install the 2007 components then run Access 2016, Office will automatically 'upgrade' some components, which breaks this Fix. As a work around, install the 2007 components as Administrator. If your regular users do not have Admin permissions, when they run Access 2016, Office will be unable to 'auto upgrade'.  Rich ...
