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 ...

  This applies to ArcGIS Server 10.5 through 10.8.1 The general rule is 4-5 map services per CPU core or 16-20 services on a standard 4 core CPU. Each service can also have from 0 to ~24 instances. This rule assumes the services are in continues use (a few times a minute or greater); if you have services that are used infrequently the threads can be recyled freeing up resources.    For example, if an ArcGIS Server was federated with a Portal, and the server was used to host AGOL type 'map services' produced by logged-in indivudal users then the services would only be used by the owner (unless they shared them). In those cases you could host >100 or more services on a single box -the limit being your physical memory on the server. To reduce the impact of a large number of underused services on memory, in ArcGIS Server Manager set the minimum number of instances to 'MinInstances = 0' vs. the default of 1.    For ArcGIS Server 10.5 minimum physical memory is 8 GB per license installed. If Portal and ArcGIS Server were installed on the same machine then you would want 16 GB physical memory. General rule of thumb is your vitual memory should be 2x your physcial memory (i.e., 32 GB on a local disk). You cache or d:\data drive should be on a fast storage device and should start at 500 Gb with the ability to grow to 2 TB if you were using the server as given in this example. Each service takes a minimum of 2 MB of memory.   CPU is 4 core, >=3.5 GHz, and should support graphics; but that is the hard one with all the changes in the last few years... 😞  ... View more

Kuba,  ArcGIS License Manager 10.5.1 fully supports concurrent use licensing for ArcGIS Pro. If you already have your Pro licenses loaded into the license manager they will carry over to the 10.5.1 LM when you upgrade in-place. One key NEW feature with the ArcGIS Pro 2.0 install package is the addition of several new install properties for the package. ArcGIS Pro 1.4.1 you only had one property (ALLUSES), with 2.0 you have the following: msiexec /i ArcGISPro.msi ALLUSERS=1 ESRI_LICENSE_HOST=<license server> SOFTWARE_CLASS=BASIC AUTHORIZATION_TYPE=CONCURRENT_USE So for the first time Enterprise deployments are practical.

If ArcGIS full supported T-SQL we could just do WHERE DATENAME(weekday, DueDate) <> 'Sunday'  or DATENAME(weekday,GETDATE()) = 'Thursday' https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174395(v=sql.105).aspx If your data is in a database, I would suggest calculating the Day there and save the result into a new field, then use a method similar to the one described above for mapping. ...

In python the seperator between your properties is the | symbol, not a space. Your properties would be "routeID|Line|inBMP|inEMP". If you called the same model from C# you would use spaces. ... View more

The main problem with most of the new ArcGIS "Explorer" type solutions is demonstrated by the following quote from the Explorer for ArcGIS Application. "To use your maps in Explorer, you must have an ArcGIS organizational account. ArcGIS Online and Portal for ArcGIS 10.3.1 and later are supported." This means their solutions require a internet connection and AGOL accounts to work. Thus they do not provide a cost free environment for development. ... View more

Does this work, or should we be using HandleMouseDownAsync instated of HandleKeyDownAsync? protected override async Task HandleMouseDownAsync(MapViewMouseButtonEventArgs e) { //Convert the clicked point in client coordinates to the corresponding map coordinates. mapPoint = await QueuedTask.Run(() => MapView.Active.ClientToMap(e.ClientPoint)); } What is needed is a code example of the basic process of 'selecting tool from list (e.g., a combobox)', then click on map to get coordinates, then do something with them (e.g., display coord in pop-up). This is not provided as a code snip it in the SDK help documents. BASED on the new sample published on GeoNet (7/2016) they are using:  protected override void OnToolMouseDown(MapViewMouseButtonEventArgs e) { .. } and protected override Task HandleMouseDownAsync(MapViewMouseButtonEventArgs e) { ... } which appears to work. ...
