Hi, This isn't out-of-the-box functionality - but the good news is that it is relatively straightforward to add. There's a sample in the SDK (http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisexplorer/1500/sdk/conceptualhelp/index.html#//00020000003z000000) which demonstrates this. You can use the SDK with Visual Studio Express if you don't already have a development environment. If you weren't looking for this level of involvement just yet - i could build the sample and post on ArcGIS.com for you. There are also some other great Add-ins available on ArcGIS.com - try http://www.arcgis.com/home/search.html?q=ArcGIs%20Explorer&t=content&focus=tools and look for Query Plus. Select-o-Matic might also be useful to you. Regards Mike ... View more

Hi, As far as I'm aware application virtualization/streaming platforms such as Microsoft's App-V are not officially supported in the sense that ESRI may not be able to offer you technical support in all cases. However, looking online there are a number of customers who have attempted to use ArcGIS and App-V with many of them sharing their tips and tricks (particularly for dependencies on DLLs outside of ArcGIS). Microsoft also released a hotfix for App-V which includes a fix specifically addressing an ArcGIS-related issue - http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=959834. I suggest contacting your ESRI account manager for more advice on the use of virtualization and automated deployment technologies to ensure you choose the correct approach from the outset.

Hi, Thanks to BKBroiler for sharing their experience and advice on the practicalities of enterprise deployments of ArcGIS Explorer. Additionally there is some technical documentation for this process online: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisexplorer/1500/install_guides/arcgis_explorer_install_guide.htm. Additionally, there is documentation on enterprise deployment of the other ArcGIS products (which might provide a useful reference) at http://downloads2.esri.com/support/whitepapers/other_/ArcGIS_10_Enterprise_Deployment.pdf.

Gary, I would definitely suggest updating your graphics drivers - check the Dell website. I'm not familiar with the Latitude 2100 but you used the word "netbook" which to me suggests it's probably only got the basic onboard graphics. ArcGIS Explorer, in both 2D and 3D has relatively high graphics requirements (dedicated graphics card with >= 256MB memory and good OpenGL support). There's a system requirements checker you can run at http://cyri.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri_if/1186/10895 Regards Mike ... View more

Ben, It should be working fine - but I'll take a look. Cheers Mike ... View more

Gary, Can you load any other content - e.g. from ArcGIS.com try http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=a18dae40fb4c45fb8bb50ffbf065965a. Regards Mike ... View more

Hi, I'm discussing this with colleagues - I'll post here as soon as I have an answer. Regards Mike ... View more

Hi, Configurations (.NCFGs) actually contain the map, Add-ins, etc - so you'll need to re-add the map to the NCFG and re save then copy to your central location. Regards Mike ... View more

Hi, This should work as expected if you call the MapDisplay.TiltTo() method e.g.       Random random = new Random();       // mX and mY are the Lat/Long to zoom to       ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.Geometry.Point pt = new ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.Geometry.Point(random.Next(-180, 180), random.Next(-90, 90));       double altitude = mapDisplay.Altitude;       double tilt = mapDisplay.TiltAngle;       double angle = mapDisplay.Rotation;       MessageBox.Show("current tilt = " + tilt.ToString() + " & current rotation = " + angle.ToString());       mapDisplay.ZoomTo(pt, altitude);       MessageBox.Show("tilt after zoom = " + mapDisplay.TiltAngle.ToString() + " & rotation after zoom = " + mapDisplay.Rotation.ToString());       mapDisplay.RotateTo(angle);       mapDisplay.TiltTo(tilt);       MessageBox.Show("final tilt = " + mapDisplay.TiltAngle.ToString() + " & final zoom = " + mapDisplay.Rotation.ToString()); Regards Mike ...

Hi, It's possible DGN files might be viewable in Explorer if added as a Layer File (this means creating the Layer File in ArcMap). Alternatively, as you suggest, another approach would be to create a GP service which takes a DGN file and returns some form of Layer - I'd suggest a Layer Package because then you could define the rendering for the data to view in Explorer. Perhaps it's possible to import the rendering from the DGN file itself? (I'm not familiar with the technical implementation of that format). Regards Mike ... View more

Ben, I believe you're receiving Tech Support on this issue currently? - if that's the case probably better to pursue through that avenue for better traceability. I'm not currently aware of any differences in the WSDL between an MXD-based service and an MSD-based service. However, it's possible that my Add-in was using an old SOAP proxy library. Perhaps try downloading the 10.0 pre-generated proxies (or generate new ones yourself if you prefer) - http://help.arcgis.com/EN/arcgisserver/10.0/apis/soap/Pre-generated_proxies.htm.
