Quick summary: ArcGIS Pro 2.2: arcpy starts an editing session on a polygon Feature Class in a File Geodatase (LOCK files created in FGDB), exports a MapSeries map to JPG with that Feature Class as the index layer, then stops editing on that Feature Class (LOCK files automatically delete from FGDB). ArcGIS Pro 2.4.1: arcpy starts an editing session on a polygon Feature Class in a File Geodatase (LOCK files created in FGDB), exports a MapSeries map to JPG with that Feature Class as the index layer, then stops editing on that Feature Class (LOCK files REMAIN in FGDB). The arcpy script moves on to create the next polygon in order to export the next mapseries page but then ERRORS with: 000464: Cannot get exclusive schema lock. Either being edited or in use by another application.—Help | ArcGIS Desktop  Updating software is meant to fix problems like this, not introduce them... I'm assuming this is a bug? As expected, uninstalling 2.4.1 and reinstalling 2.2 solves this issue. I have logged a bug report with ESRI. But I'd like to hear other people's thoughts here. ... View more

In the latest ArcGIS Pro, one of my maps appears to be missing the top and bottom of the frame. Why is this? I haven't changed any map settings. How can I get it to fill the whole frame? Other maps in my project are fine. ??? ... View more

I have a Table stored in a Geodatabase. It has 11 or so fields (text, long) containing address information. It has an ID column too. I also have a polygon shapefile of the property boundaries for these addresses. The shapefile only has an ID column. I use Join Field to join the Table to the shapefile using the matching ID columns as the join field. However, joining all the fields from the Table in one go results in error '000852 cannot add field'. arcpy.management.JoinField(r"D:\Dropbox\Internal Software\Report_WKTs\Ground_WKTs\recover\GroundWKTsites.shp", "Id", r"D:\Tasks_D\GroundRviewer\Ground_R\GR_temp_dump.gdb\Ground_WKT_to_GIS_table", "Join_id", "Address;Client_ref;ClientName;Date;Dev_risk;Ong_risk;Our_ref;Page_order;Postcode;RES_or_COM;Scale")‍‍ But... if I join the 11 fields in 11 seperate Join Field runs, it does work: import arcpy, time arcpy.management.JoinField(r"D:\Dropbox\Internal Software\Report_WKTs\Ground_WKTs\recover\GroundWKTsites.shp", "Id", r"D:\Tasks_D\GroundRViewer\Ground_R\GR_temp_dump.gdb\Ground_WKT_to_GIS_table", "Join_id", "Address") time.sleep(1) arcpy.management.JoinField(r"D:\Dropbox\Internal Software\Report_WKTs\Ground_WKTs\recover\GroundWKTsites.shp", "Id", r"D:\Tasks_D\GroundRViewer\Ground_R\GR_temp_dump.gdb\Ground_WKT_to_GIS_table", "Join_id", "Postcode") time.sleep(1) arcpy.management.JoinField(r"D:\Dropbox\Internal Software\Report_WKTs\Ground_WKTs\recover\GroundWKTsites.shp", "Id", r"D:\Tasks_D\GroundRViewer\Ground_R\GR_temp_dump.gdb\Ground_WKT_to_GIS_table", "Join_id", "Date") time.sleep(1) arcpy.management.JoinField(r"D:\Dropbox\Internal Software\Report_WKTs\Ground_WKTs\recover\GroundWKTsites.shp", "Id", r"D:\Tasks_D\GroundRViewer\Ground_R\GR_temp_dump.gdb\Ground_WKT_to_GIS_table", "Join_id", "Our_ref") time.sleep(1) arcpy.management.JoinField(r"D:\Dropbox\Internal Software\Report_WKTs\Ground_WKTs\recover\GroundWKTsites.shp", "Id", r"D:\Tasks_D\GroundRViewer\Ground_R\GR_temp_dump.gdb\Ground_WKT_to_GIS_table", "Join_id", "Client_ref") time.sleep(1) arcpy.management.JoinField(r"D:\Dropbox\Internal Software\Report_WKTs\Ground_WKTs\recover\GroundWKTsites.shp", "Id", r"D:\Tasks_D\GroundRViewer\Ground_R\GR_temp_dump.gdb\Ground_WKT_to_GIS_table", "Join_id", "ClientName") time.sleep(1) arcpy.management.JoinField(r"D:\Dropbox\Internal Software\Report_WKTs\Ground_WKTs\recover\GroundWKTsites.shp", "Id", r"D:\Tasks_D\GroundRViewer\Ground_R\GR_temp_dump.gdb\Ground_WKT_to_GIS_table", "Join_id", "Ong_risk") time.sleep(1) arcpy.management.JoinField(r"D:\Dropbox\Internal Software\Report_WKTs\Ground_WKTs\recover\GroundWKTsites.shp", "Id", r"D:\Tasks_D\GroundRViewer\Ground_R\GR_temp_dump.gdb\Ground_WKT_to_GIS_table", "Join_id", "Dev_risk") time.sleep(1) arcpy.management.JoinField(r"D:\Dropbox\Internal Software\Report_WKTs\Ground_WKTs\recover\GroundWKTsites.shp", "Id", r"D:\Tasks_D\GroundRViewer\Ground_R\GR_temp_dump.gdb\Ground_WKT_to_GIS_table", "Join_id", "RES_or_COM") time.sleep(1) arcpy.management.JoinField(r"D:\Dropbox\Internal Software\Report_WKTs\Ground_WKTs\recover\GroundWKTsites.shp", "Id", r"D:\Tasks_D\GroundRViewer\Ground_R\GR_temp_dump.gdb\Ground_WKT_to_GIS_table", "Join_id", "Page_order") time.sleep(1) arcpy.management.JoinField(r"D:\Dropbox\Internal Software\Report_WKTs\Ground_WKTs\recover\GroundWKTsites.shp", "Id", r"D:\Tasks_D\GroundRViewer\Ground_R\GR_temp_dump.gdb\Ground_WKT_to_GIS_table", "Join_id", "Scale") time.sleep(1) print("Done") ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Why??? ...

ArcGIS Pro (latest) Using the ExportToJPEG (or even ExportToPNG) arcpy function, I can't seem to export an image with my desired resolution. It always defaults to 96 dpi even when I specify 500. What am I doing wrong? Is this a bug? p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("CURRENT") print ("project loaded") l = p.listLayouts("MyLayout")[0] print ("layouts listed") if not l.mapSeries is None: ms = l.mapSeries if ms.enabled:    for pageNum in range(1, ms.pageCount + 1):      ms.currentPageNumber = pageNum      print("Exporting page {0} of {1}".format(str(ms.currentPageNumber), str(ms.pageCount)))      l.exportToJPEG(r"C:\\Users\\Theo\\Dropbox\\site_plans\\Current_GR_site_plans\\GR2-GroundMovement-SP-_{0}".format(str(ms.currentPageNumber) + ".jpg", 500))‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ You can see at the end I specify 500 as the resolution. Even when I write- resolution = 500, it's the same. My images aren't coming out in my desired quality. If I export a single page using the share ribbon, setting the dpi to 500, it works. But I'm automating this, so that's not a viable option for me. Guides used: MapFrame—ArcPy | ArcGIS Desktop  Layout—ArcPy | ArcGIS Desktop  similar issue to: ExportToJpeg Resolution Problem  but i don't understand the answers given. ... View more
