I think you need to add more information to your question (don't just add it as a reply to me). I'm assuming you have hundreds of lidar points that capture a pole? If not what is it you have? If it is a load of points in 3d space where do you want your single pole point to be? At the top, middle or bottom of the point cloud? ... View more

When you say "Append" do you mean join fields from the table to the Feature class or do you mean insert rows from the table to the end of the Feature class?  I've never used a table with "SQL geometry" so my gut feeling is if you are trying to insert rows then there might be a compatibility issue. You need to clarify what you mean by append as that can be read two ways? ... View more

It's a long time since I've developed a DLL for ArcMap. AddIns are the much better way of developing and distributing customisation. That said I remember DLL's developed in .Net needed to be registered using RegASM.exe, have a look at the Q&A from 12 years ago... ... View more

I would like to add to this idea and say the single measure is the default method for the tool. I would say I more often want to measure a single distance rather than than sequence of segments. I agree that its quite irritating to have to keep clearing the dialog to understand what it is I am measuring! ... View more

Sounds like you want to be calling exportToJPEG() on MapView? There is sample code at bottom of help page. ... View more

I've experienced the same issue and never found a solution.  You say you have some complex models, in my experience it's often easier  to convert your model into a script; easier to maintain, none of this model remembering stuff issue, easier to edit and of cause a lot easier for looping within loops.  I would recommend making the jump to python script if your model is large and cumbersome. ...

You say "...very few users make use of the field description functionality [in arcpro].". Well not me, I use that functionality in the metadata all the time to describe what the field is and how it was calculated. What you have hit on is the inability of ArcPro to upload that vital information in the metadata into the AGOL field description of the hosted feature layer and ESRI need to tackle that break down in communication. It's a shame that it is happening as it severs the data from all that valuable information one has spent time entering and as you say you have to end up doing double entry. ☹️ ... View more

Amazing to hear AML still being used! Out of interest have you tried writing the output of the raster to point tool to a file geodatabase on the c:\ drive of the machine, is the performance any better? ... View more

If you study the help file on the searchcursor, look at the syntax section, all the inputs have a @ character, so if you want to return a geometry object you need to set the field name to be shape@, you are using shape. I would suggest you explore the use of the Find Identical tool and Delete Identical tools to simplify your code, you don't need to be using cursors for this task. ... View more

So whats the problem? You make a vague statement about what you are doing but give zero detail. What are the inputs, what are the errors, what is it you want?  Suggest you add significantly more detail. ... View more
