It would be helpful if we could name a FC starting with a number, such as a property address: 123_Main_St. Currently, that doesn't seem to be allowed; a FC can only start with a letter. ... View more

ArcGIS Pro 3.4.3 In the pop-up window, I want to right-click a hyperlink and copy it to the clipboard, rather than selecting the text to copy it. Users get confused when there is no copy option in the context menu. They don't realize they need to select the text in order to right-click and copy it.   ... View more

Use Case: Find municipalities that have a riding that extends beyond the municipal boundary/overlaps another municipality. Municipalities: https://geohub.lio.gov.on.ca/datasets/lio::municipal-boundary-lower-and-single-tier/about  Ridings: https://www.elections.on.ca/en/voting-in-ontario/electoral-district-shapefiles.html  Hint: Do a negative 500m buffer so that slight overlaps are ignored by geoprocessing tools. Examples: Toronto, Ajax, and Whitby are not examples of municipalities that meet this criteria. But most other municipalities do meet this criteria. The green labels pertain to the municipalities, not the ridings. Idea: A single geoprocessing tool that would output a copy of the Municipalities layer, but would have a column that indicates if any of the overlapping ridings touch any other municipalities. Right now, I am using a multi-step process with multiple spatial joins that is overly complicated. ... View more

Edited. I have a municipality FC and a riding FC. The spatial relationship of the data is one-to-many: one municipality intersects many ridings. I want to do a one-to-many spatial join (a row for each intersecting riding), but I want a column in the output that indicates the Join_Count_Per_Group; I want each row to indicate how many ridings there are per municipality. All within a single geoprocessing operation. Currently, with one-to-many spatial joins, the Join_Count field is set to 1 (or zero?) for every row. ... View more

ArcGIS Pro 3.4.3 Using Select By Location, I want to select polygons from a FC that intersect multiple polygons in a different FC. I want to use Select By Location for this because it is efficient to use and doesn't output copies of the data. ... View more
