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.

I have a tool that gets map coordinates from a mouse click and then does some work. In code add a marker symbol at the location the person clicked. The user may click multiple times prior to exiting the tool. On exiting I would like the overlay to be cleared. To add the points I'm doing this: var disposable = await QueuedTask.Run(() => { return mapView.AddOverlay(myPoint, SymbolFactory.ConstructPointSymbol(ColorFactory.CreateRGBColor(255,255,0), 10.0, SimpleMarkerStyle.Cross).MakeSymbolReference()); }); Do I need to keep track of all the disposable vars (perhapse in an array) to do: disposable.Dispose(); for each maker? What I would like is a mapView.ClearOverlayAsync() command similar to the existing mapView.ClearSketchAsync();. Ideas? Rich

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.

In the DAML for a Add-In you can define the png image to use for a tool. <tool id="BasicMapTool_BasicMapTool" caption="Show Coordinates" keytip="T1" className="BasicMapTool" loadOnClick="true" smallImage="Images\crosshair16.png" largeImage="Images\crosshair32.png" condition="esri_mapping_mapPane"> Generally if you stay with one of the ESRI default icons they will appear. However, based on the pathing any 16 and 32 pixel png image referenced at .\Images should be usable. Where is this location? I've tried deploying them to the assembly cache (e.g., C:\Users\<user id here>\AppData\Local\ESRI\ArcGISPro\AssemblyCache\{ff226987-8efd-4d34-b606-3e731c8cd2ad}\Images) but that does not appear to work. In Visual Studio 2013 it the setup looks like this (see attached screen shot_. Rich D.

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.

Hello, I have a custom MapTool Add-in created in C# for ArcGIS Pro 1.3.1. The tool works and allows me to click on the map, obtain a point, and do some work with it and display the results in a Windows Form. However the tool stays selected in the ribbon. I would like to unselect the tool in the ribbon after the user clicks on the map so it is not highlighted in the interface (i.e., blue background shows on tool in the ribbon) and the System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.goes back to a default ArcGIS Pro cursor -e.g., used for pan and zoom. Here is the DAML defining the tool: <tool id="StreetView_Core" caption="StreetView" className="StreetView" loadOnClick="true" smallImage="Images\GenericButtonRed16.png" largeImage="Images\GenericButtonRed32.png" condition="esri_mapping_mapPane" keytip="StreetView"> <tooltip heading="StreetView">StreetView Tool<disabledText /></tooltip> </tool> This is my class: internal class StreetView : MapTool I've tried this but it does not have any effect. protected override void OnToolMouseUp(MapViewMouseButtonEventArgs e) { if (e.ChangedButton == System.Windows.Input.MouseButton.Left) { var mapView = MapView.Active; if (mapView != null) { ActivateSelectAsync(false); } } } Another option would be to programmatically change to another tool.

Hello, One issue that was identified and 'fixed' some of the MXD's is related to the defaul printer setting and mapped printers. After an in-place upgrade to Windows 10 some printer drivers are not upgraded, this does not ensure they actually work with Windows 10 since in our case we moved from 32-bit to 64-bit operating system. Thus if you have a MXD that references an unsupported printer driver the application may hang or crash when attempting to open the MXD -since it trys to read the printer page size information from the printer. Things to verify are (1) is a working default printer is set at the Windows level and (2) have the printer drivers for your other printers been upgraded to Win 10 compliant versions -especially with your 36" HP plotters :-).

Starting at ArcGIS Pro 1.2 you can create and add Add-ins to Pro as a new tab. I used Visual Studio 2013 with the Pro SDK. If you click on the Project tab in ArcGIS Pro you will now see a link to the #Add-In Manager. This page shows the currently installed add-ins in your c:\users\<your user id>\documents\ArcGIS\AddIns\ArcGISPro folder. To add additional locations Click the 'Options' folder. The paths entered here available in other projects opened by the same user. By default the path is saved to HKEY_CU\Software\ESRI\ArcGISPro\Settings\Add-Folders instead of HEKY_LOCAL_MACHINE. However, you can export this key from the registry and update it, and import it into HEKY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Now the add-ins located at the designated folder will be shown under Shared Add-Ins area in the ArcGIS Pro interface. When doing this ensure the folder you use is public -such as C:\\ProgramData\\<your addin name> or C:\Users\All Users\<your addin name>. This is where your would deploy your application too.

To get some of the buttons/tools to work you need to programmatically activate the tab that the tool or button is on prior to executing. This is because the tool/button is disabled if the tab is not the current tab. For example, the following activates the Analyst ribbon/tab: FrameworkApplication.ActivateTab("esri_core_analysisTab"); If you are running a gp that is inside a group (vs. just a button) you may also need to 'run' the DAML Id of the group it is in. IPlugInWrapper wrapper = FrameworkApplication.GetPlugInWrapper("esri_geoprocessing_analysisTools"); var command = wrapper as ICommand; // tool and command(Button) supports this if ((command != null) && command.CanExecute(null)) command.Execute(null); then you can run the gp. var param_values3 = Geoprocessing.MakeValueArray(null,null,"2 Miles"); //run the geoprocessing tool Geoprocessing.OpenToolDialog("analysis.Buffer", param_values3);

In the snippits gallery there is an example of executing a built in ArcGIS Pro command. Does anyone know where I can find the list of these commands? Rich Daniels --- IPlugInWrapper wrapper = FrameworkApplication.GetPlugInWrapper("esri_editing_ShowAttributes"); var command = wrapper as ICommand; // tool and command(Button) supports this if ((command != null) && command.CanExecute(null)) command.Execute(null);

There are several environment variables used by ArcGIS Desktop that when set override the settings in the registry (which are managed by ArcGIS Administrator). For this issue you need the ESRI_SOFTWARE_CLASS environment variable. Valid settings are Advanced, Editor, and Viewer. In my case I just create a shortcut that points to a DOS Batch file that does the following: _______ REM Setup Advanced license level prior to starting ArcMap ECHO OFF SET ESRI_SOFTWARE_CLASS=Advanced IF NOT EXIST "C:\Program Files (X86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.3\bin" GOTO TRYFAIL SET THEVER="C:\Program Files (X86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.3\bin" cd %THEVER% ArcMap.exe ECHO ON EXIT :TRYFAIL ECHO ON ECHO ArcMap not found, exiting... PAUSE EXIT _________ Of course you would change the path above to match your current version of Desktop. We do the same for ArcCatalog and ArcEditor licenses then build a package that adds these shortcuts to Start | All apps | ArcGIS. This allows us to install ArcGIS Desktop and the 'basic' level on all machines in the agency while allowing the end user to switch between license levels when needed. Rich

I opened a ticket with ESRI on this and they were able to replicate the problem. They went through all the components loaded by the SQL 2016 install and narrowed it down to the Microsoft® ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server. When this is loaded it takes precedence over the SQL 2012 Native Client, which causes 10.2 and prior SDE Connections to fail.

Microsoft SQL 2016 Management Studio breaks ArcGIS Pro 1.3 and 1.3.1 SDE data connections I ran across this on Monday and wanted to make others aware of the issue. I will post the fix after I try somethings out. Issue: Had ArcGIS Pro 1.3 installed and working with SDE Connections to SDE 10.1-10.3 databases. Installed Microsoft SQL 2016 Server Management Studio from Microsoft at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt238290.aspx. At the next start of ArcGIS Pro 1.3 all connections to SDE data sources were Brocken (Red ! marks). Tried: 1. installed ArcGIS Pro Patch #1, did not resolve the problem. 2. repairing SQL 2012 Native Clients, did not resolve the problem. 3. Uninstalled ALL Microsoft SQL Server 2016 components from add/remove programs, failed to remove all components 4. rebooted 5. Re-downloaded the SQL 2016 Server Management Studio install package and ran it, but selected UNINSTALL. This successfully removed all components. 6. Uninstalled SQL 2012 Native Client (64bit) 7. Reinstalled SQL 2012 Native Clients (64 bit) Now all the connections are working again. Note - attached is the ArcGIS Pro error message I received when I navigated directly to the SDE connection file I was using in my basemap. Note this message implies ArcGIS Pro 'does not support the given version or format' of the SDE database; in reality it is the Microsoft SQL components that do not support it, when you load/reinstall the correct (older) versions the SDE connections come back to life.
