Looking for the eventlog as well. I have looked all through the help. So far I have not found where it is stored. Any help is appreciated.

If we are talking about resizing text on a CAD annotation layer, it can be done. But the changes to the font are not always obeyed. Sometimes the font will change, other times it will not. The image of the dialog below shows where the font controls are. Could this be related? http://support.esri.com/en/bugs/nimbus/TklNMDEwOTI0 This issue has been around in ArcMap as long as I can remember. [ATTACH=CONFIG]17209[/ATTACH]

Using Mobile 3.0 on Windows XP. The project is stored on an ArcGIS Server 10.0 instance. The project appears when I open the Mobile application. After it attempts to download the data (services on the same server), I get this error message: "Name resolution failure. The name resolver service could not resolve the host name." These same services could be downloaded previously using Mobile 10.0. The mobile content and rest endpoint web pages are visible from the web browser. What are the odds that Mobile 3.0 requires Server 10.1? Thanks for any help, Paul Lohr

Trevor, I think the key is using the Trimble GPS Controller software to output NMEA from the Trimble GPS hardware. I have not been able to do this yet. So far ArcGIS Mobile 10 will not recognize the NMEA output. I think the problem is in the NMEA output settings.

What type of data? Point / polygon / line?

I wonder if you need to ask the UINavigationController instance for the proper size of the item you are adding to it?

I am having trouble getting multiple feature to show up in my popup view controller. I get creating the Mutable array for the popups but I am not sure where to populate it. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/runtime-ios-sdk/concepts/#/Displaying_Web_Map_Popups/00pw0000005n000000/ Looking at the linked page above, I don't see the code for putting the AGSGraphics into an array. Are we supposed to get all the features on the map, put them into AGSGraphics objects, then put those into an array? Just a guess. If you don't get a response (you probably will), you might take a look at the samples.

I would work on building your foundation knowledge of iOS through books such as iOS Programming by Big Nerd Ranch and Cocoa Programming by Big Nerd Ranch. I would go through the Cocoa book first since many of the concepts for iOS were developed from Cocoa under Mac OS X. This way you will see some of the evolution of iOS. I have read these and a handful of other iOS / Cocoa books. These two books are the best of what I've seen. I suspect that many people have difficulty understanding the Apple documentation. Hopefully you won't fall into this category (but I do). My opinion is that Apple documentation is written for well experienced programmers. Don't feel bad if you have trouble with it. Instructor-led training is pretty expensive. I've not done this yet but it would be helpful. The advantages are obvious: someone experienced there to help you, and immersion in iOS programming for some number of days. Compare this to pecking away at some iOS book for a few hours per day with no help. This is one of the less expensive training classes I have seen: http://iphonebootcampnyc.com/iphonetraining/

Do you have all the dependent libraries added to your project? See "2. Add dependent libraries" at the link below. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/runtime-ios-sdk/concepts/#/Configuring_an_Xcode_Project/00pw00000044000000/

[INDENT]"1) Will the ArcGIS iOS app handle this capability - can it talk to an external barcode reader, and use the output of the barcode reader to edit an attribute?" [/INDENT] I don't know of a way the ArcGIS app can do this. If someone knows how it can be done, I'd like to hear about it. [INDENT]"2) Assuming that it can't and we need to write an our own app, are there any mechanisms within the iOS API which allow talking to hardware devices?" [/INDENT] Pretty sure you will want to rely on the API from your bar code scanner to communicate with it. Once the scan and conversion to text has occurred, I think the ArcGIS SDK would be used to connect to a feature service and add the bar code generated text as an attribute. I've not done this yet. If anyone has corrections, I am open to hearing them.

Nimesh helped me when my points were showing up at 0,0 as well. Thanks for helping us, Nimesh. This is the code I used to put the points in the web mercator coordinate system: NSMutableArray *myMarkerPointArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; // note that textFileMgmt1.points returns an NSDictionary for ( NSDictionary *item in textFileMgmt1.points ) { AGSPoint *myPoint; myPoint = [AGSPoint pointWithX:[[item valueForKey:@"dict_x_long"] doubleValue] y:[[item valueForKey:@"dict_y_lat"] doubleValue] spatialReference:[AGSSpatialReference wgs84SpatialReference]]; AGSGeometry *myPointReprojected; AGSGeometryEngine *ge = [AGSGeometryEngine defaultGeometryEngine]; myPointReprojected = [ge projectGeometry:myPoint toSpatialReference:[AGSSpatialReference webMercatorSpatialReference]]; [myMarkerPointArray addObject:myPointReprojected]; }

This is good, Divesh. Thank you for taking your time to work this out for me. I did not realize the usefulness of JSON and the methods in ArcGIS.h for working with JSON. Much appreciated, sir. Paul Lohr

I ended up putting AGSEnvelope.xmin, xmax, ymin, and ymax into double data type variables, I then put the doubles into an NSDictionary, then I put the NSDictionary into an NSUserDefaults variable. That's a handful of steps but it works. In case you missed it or I was unclear, the problem was that AGSEnvelope could not be put into an NSData variable. I wanted to do this because NSData will go directly into an NSUserDefaults variable. This is a little cleaner than going to a double. Perhaps there is a way to get AGSEnvelope to inherit from NSCoding but I don't know how that would be done. If AGSEnvelope implemented NSCoding's encodeWithEncoder, AGSEnvelope could be put directly into an NSData variable. If you can help with this, I'd appreciate it. Paul Lohr

I was trying to push an AGSEnvelope into NSUserDefaults: //.h file @property (nonatomic) IBOutlet AGSMapView *mapView; @property (nonatomic, strong) AGSEnvelope *mapExtent; //.m file NSString *kMapExtent = @"mapExtent"; AGSPolygon *mapExtentPoly = self.mapView.visibleArea; // see above...self.mapExtent is of type AGSEnvelope self.mapExtent = mapExtentPoly.envelope; // this is key to the problem...attempt to convert AGSEnvelope so it can be used as NSData in NSUserDefaults. self.dataForMapExtent = [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:self.mapExtent]; // the program crashes after this line is run NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]; [defaults setObject:self.dataForMapExtent forKey:kMapExtent]; [defaults synchronize]; This is the error message I get when the program crashes: [AGSEnvelope encodeWithCoder:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance I think Apple's classes that inherit from NSCoding can convert themselves to NSData. I see that AGSEnvelope inherits from AGSCoding but it looks to only encode/decode JSON. Do I need to convert the AGSEnvelope to something like an NSDictionary before putting it into NSUserDefaults? Is this the best solution? Thanks for any help, Paul Lohr

I assume you have looked for free of charge imagery for your area of interest, Russell? I would assume that you could find USGS imagery or property appraiser imagery (sometimes inexpensive) and put one of those into a tile package? Paul Lohr
