Image date: simply use the info tool on the image to get the date information. Be aware that different tiles may have different dates. For imagery that is taken on a frequent basis, you would probably need to look into sattelite imagery, and I do not know if the resolution would meet your needs. If you need infrequent images, terraserver may meet your needs, although you will need to pay a nominal fee to search and view imagery, and a fee to acquire it. Regards, Jim ... View more

Do you have a license for Adobe Acrobat? If so, try printing to pdf instead of exporting. If not, what is the resolution you are using? Are you setting a background color? This will cause rendering of the entire page, so setting it to null may reduce the output size. Do you have layers and / or attributes enabled under the advanced settings? Is the background a raster? can you resample it to reduce file size? Regards Jim ... View more

There was not a mention of anything like this in your post, and this is a bit vague. Could you be more specific about your comment and just what it is you wish to do? Jim ... View more

A few comments: You need to use a variable to return the value, not the column name itself You need and End If at the end of your code After the Else statement, you need to also use the same variable to return the 0 value I am assuming that you are using the code block for the field calculation. set the Expression  = result in the code block (I created fields from your table snapshot) If [species] = "Pinus" and [class1] = 1 and [condition] ="G" then result = [ITID] elseif [species] = "Pinus" and [class1] = 1 and [condition] ="M" then result = [ITID] elseif [species] = "Pinus" and [class1] = 2 and [condition] ="G" then result = [ITID] elseif [species] = "Pinus" and [class1] = 2 and [condition] ="M" then result = [ITID] Else result = 0 End if ...

I do not have a file of that size to test with. Smaller files (@ 100mb) convert without issues. Regarding reducing the number of rows and columns, you can not do this without loss of image quality, as this is a resampling function, and will create cells at a larger size to reduce the row / column of the image. Is the entire image needed? If you can crop the image, you will retain the original resolution / quality, and reduce the number of rows / columns. Another possibility is to split the image into more manageable pieces, and then work with those instead of the entire source all at once. Regards, Jim ... View more

Try putting your variables in quotes. Code example from buffer help: import arcpy arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/data" arcpy.Buffer_analysis("roads", "C:/output/majorrdsBuffered", "100 Feet", "FULL", "ROUND", "LIST", "Distance") Regards, Jim ... View more

Irene,   Your code is displayed on a single line, making it almost unreadable.

Could you be more specific? What does "I went to Google Earth and created a point file and converted to a shape file, extracted a Contour map"   mean? when you create a point file and convert to shapefile, what are the attributes? Why are you using Google Earth?  Do you have ArcMap? If so, what version and what license level do you have? ... View more

Have you explored pasting as an enhanced metafile? I find that these are pretty clear. ... View more

Hello, Jessica.  Yes. When you add your image file (jpg) to the map, it should show up in the georeferencing toolbar as the image of interest. If not, use the drop down menu to select it. Set your map extent to the approximate area of interest, and then use the drop down menu for "Georeferncing" to select "Fit to display". This will put your non-georeferenced image in the general vicinity of the correct location, and from there, you can add control points to place it correctly. Regards, Jim ... View more

Hi, Jeanette.   What happens if you insert it as a picture element (Device independent bitmap, or an enhanced metafile)? Regards, Jim ... View more

Tom,   You can open the picture in the standard windows photo viewer, rotate it if necessary, (although it rotated my test image for me) and save it with a different name. The photo should drop into your map with the correct orientation. Regards, Jim ... View more

Perhaps I am still not understanding your goal. Can you do the union to maintain the boundaries of the 3 features, and add an identifying attribute like “Feature set 1” for the territory, and add another attribute “Type” and identify water or land. Then set symbology based on the “unique values, many fields” of these attributes? I am assuming you will have multiple territories, but this would allow you to differentiate between land and water, and between territories. If I am still not helping you, perhaps you should re-post with your full explanation, as a question with this many responses is typically assumed answered. Best of Luck, Manuel.

Now I see. That is a different problem. Essentially you want a multipart feature – one row in the attribute table, that retains the star shape inside the square shape, and when you select either one of them, both are selected, as they are parts of the same object. The problem is that one feature completely contains the other. I do not know of a way to accomplish that. What are you attempting to accomplish? Perhaps there is a different workflow solution. jim Jim Cousins GIS Project Scientist S.S.
