Most of my shapefile's attribute table are in arabic font and on the pop.ups, txt are appeared in different characters which cant be read...i really appreciate for any help on this matter...thanks I think this problem is windows related! please, see the screenshots below and try to adjust your settings accordingly. [ATTACH=CONFIG]11376[/ATTACH], [ATTACH=CONFIG]11377[/ATTACH], [ATTACH=CONFIG]11378[/ATTACH] let me know if that has worked best Jamal ... View more

Hi Jamal, Please provide specific examples and I can provide comments/history. Thanks, Eric Hi Eric, hope this post finds you well. other exmaples why the arcGIS is confusing: - the command "Explode" has two different names (screenshot 1) - the command planarize doesn't exist on the toolbox (screenshot 2) what do you think? all the best Jamal ...

The cell size and scale of the aerial photography should be available when the imagery is purchased.  I am not sure what you mean by accuracy.   For aerial photography there may be a tag on it, that will indicate all of this information. If the information has been removed, then you will have to hope the metadata will include the focal length of the camera or scale.  Trying to reverse engineer the information without the components may be very challenging.  There are resources on the web that discuss the photogrammetric calculations. Accuracy is usually the result of a classification, which is obtained through an accuracy assessment. Thank you Jeff for the answer. I'm not sure why the properties of the aerial photos just shows the cell size but neither the scale nor the accuracy! i didn't mean by the accuracy the one that is calculated from the classification! what i mean is the degree by which the digitized object are close to the actual value. for example, suppose that an edge of building is digitized to have 20 meter while the actual value of this edge is 21 meter, then there is an error of 1 meter between the digitized value (which is obtained from the aerial photo) and the true value measured on the ground. likewise, if the aerial photo measures the elevation, then there is an accuracy in measuring the elevations! how these values are represented on the properties of the aerial photo? regards Jamal ...

Thanks for posting the shapefile. The shapefile is ANSI, and the Language ID in the file is indicating ANSI. I'll have to refer this issue to another team, and I'll post back here with any information I can. The dbfDefault setting will definately not make any difference to the upload or display in the browser - its only going to affect viewing the shapefile in ArcGIS Desktop on your system (the Silverlight runtime does not have access to your system registry to read this for security reasons). I was trying to find out any other ways around this issue - After doing some more research, I'm not sure that the windows arabic codepage can be encoded into the ANSI dbf file structure (there is not enough space available in the file structure to indicate the higher codepages). According to KB article 21106, you can have UTF-8 unicode shapefiles, so they would be able to store arabic characters correctly and it's possible the upload would work then; however, I cannot find out how to create a file like this, so I'm afraid I have no solution for this at the moment and I'll have to post back when I get some more information. Hi, I've a problem now with the arabic font in ArcGIS 10 While ArcGIS 9.3 can read the domain of a geodatabase written in arabic, ArcGIS 10 can't!!!!! please, see the attached screenshots how can i solve this problem? i need to work with my old geodatabases (that contain domains in arabic) in ArcGIS 10 thank you in advance, regards Jamal ...

As in the SL API there is no out-of-the-box functionalities to display shapefiles, we would need more infos about your process: How do you display your shapefiles? What kind of error do you run into?

Hi Scott: I'm not sure exactly what you mean by your first question - the "toolbar" is integrated with the SharePoint ribbon and the title is part of the web part.  So the Map Web Part's ribbon tabs will be rendered whereever the SharePoint ribbon is.  You can move the ribbon by editing the aspx page's markup.  The title shown above the web part cannot be moved, but it can be changed or hidden.  Is this what you're asking about? As to the rest, the answer is basically no.  Version 2.0 of ArcGIS Mapping for SharePoint cannot be localized.  We are planning to make 2.1 localizable, but right-to-left probably will not be supported yet.

We include the source code with the tool, I would suggest implementing this change in your toolset. Many thanks Michael. Unfortunately, i don't have enough experience to implement such change. I'm really stuck at this point. how can i go forward? regards Jamal ... View more

I suppose it depends on how you are going to use the GM.  I work for an electric utility.  for us it is essential that we have things linked together correctly from Substation to Meter.  We use it to make sure the are no loops, (meaning a short circuit where the electricity loops back on itself). We need 100% connectivity in order to export features to WindMil for load management purposes.  If you wish to use the GM for routing you need it intact. Also, we use it for analysis in load management to determine how many miles of conductor we have of each phase.  we can  use it to determine the  number and size of transformers on a particular section of line.  Also it can be used as a basic outage management tool.  You place a flag on each customer that calls in an outage and do Find Common ancestors and have it only search for sectionalizing devices. If you have built yours with weights you can use find upstream accumulation to determine the resistance to the destination Thank you Robert for the elaboration. this is quite useful. I got from your notes the power of using the "Weight" in the analysis. 1) i tried to create a weight to represent the length of the pipes such that the cost can indicate the distance from the flag to the source but sounds to not work properly! 2) why we have two weights (along/against the digitized direction) for the edge considering that the flow is one-direction based? 3) if your time permits, please, consider the attached screenshots and a sample of my database, how can i create a weight to reflects and calculates the length of the pipe from a flag to the source? appreciated, Jamal ...

I) path tasks: 1.Find path upstream   You place a flag and it finds the direct path to the SOURCE using weights 2. Find path   You place two flags and it finds the direct path between the two flags using weights II) upstream tasks:  FIND Paths will use any weights you have built into your Geometric Network.  Trace will simply find the most direct route. 1. Find path upstream 2. Find upstream accumulation 3. Trace upstream III) Trace and Find:  Same answer.  Trace finds the most direct route, FIND uses the path of least resistance. 1. Trace upstream 2. Find path upstream Many thanks Robert. this really helps I'm not sure if I'm right when i say that the whole idea behind the geometric network and then the "Utility network analyst" is just to have 3 main tasks: - up/downstream - connected/disconnected - loops is that all the power that the "Utility network analyst" has? does this satisfy all the needs of the end-user? even with the add-in features, they are not of that super power! regards Jamal ...

In the TOC turn off the selection for the fittings. Hi Michael, I tried to follow your advice in turning off the layer but found that it is not practical! In this case, I need to turn off: Meters, Fittings, Hydrants and re-turn them on again and again! Can the code itself be developed to deselect all the layers except the Valves and the pipes (main and lateral)? In other words, I need the �??Valve Isolation Trace�?� command to select only the valves and the pipes (main and lateral). Is that possible through the code itself? Thank you Regards Jamal ...

Hi Jamal, I was hoping to keep this specific to either 3D or Spatial Analyst, but I'll run with what you've provided.  The Export Data dialog has several equivalent geoprocessing tools.  Because of this, it can't have the exact same name as a single tool in ArcToolbox.  The raster > Data > Export Data dialog provides the following capabilities. Converting your input raster to another format Projecting your raster to another coordinate system Changing the cell size of your raster Clipping a raster dataset Sub setting a raster dataset with more than 3 bands, so that you just get the 3 bands being displayed. e.g. Converting 7 band landsat to 3 band landsat Permanently applying a stretch to an image (No single equivalent GP tool because it needs the renderer information to do this.) In ArcToolbox you would use these tools to mimic the Export Raster Data dialog. Copy Raster Project Raster Resample Clip Composite Bands Make Raster Layer The export dialog is more of an interactive user experience and while GP can be run from the Desktop, it is often run via scripting.  There is no way we would make a single GP tool with all of the possible parameters that could be called from the export dialog.  Regards, Eric Thank you Eric for the elaboration. this is quite helpful. what if we need to "Export Data" for a vector layer (polygons not Raster)? what is the equivalent tool in the ArcToolbox? regards Jamal ...

The issues is a data issue.  If you scroll to the right, you will see that the water main is Capped.  This means no water is entering the main, means no pressure, means no reason to turn the valve since no pressure is coming is coming from that side.  The tools checks each valve and makes sure it is feed by a source(it will not trace through other valves returned by the trace). Many thanks Michael for your colossal effort. Please, have a look on the screenshot which shows how the �??Valve isolation trace�?� tool can select all the sources of water in the system by modifying the code as follows: ------------------------------- <add key="TraceIsolation_Source_FeatureLayer" value="Reservoir|Valves|Meters" />     <!-- The layer used to stop the trace. Used by the Iso Trace and the Summary Iso trace and the Toggle operable staus-->     <add key="TraceIsolation_Valve_FeatureLayer" value="Valves" /> -------------------------------- What's surprising that this modification does exactly what I've been looking for except one thing: selecting the fittings!!! How can i modify the code further so that the fittings are not selected? regards Jamal ... View more
