That was my solution, but it just seems like overkill to me, having to create new arrays, inserting points in reverse then rebuilding a new polyline. Exposing it as a method of a polyline would make for simpler and cleaner code. It would probably be more efficient too as I understand that arcpy is often a wrapper to some uber fast c++ code. ...

@RPGIS , I am aware of this geo-processing tool, that requires at least a standard license. I'm suggesting that the list of methods on the geometry polyline class be expanded to include a "flip" method. This would allow for cleaner easier coding and would compliment the long list of existing methods and frankly I'm surprised it does not exist already as reversing the direction of a polyline is a very common task. This should not be a task only accessible to higher license level tools. ... View more

Want to bump this idea up the list. I find many ArcPro tools cause some kind of event that causes the map/status bars to fresh all the time. If your script is geo-processor heavy you can get significant drops in performance as the map is trying to update all the time.  A good example is when you have some sort of iterative selection driving the geo-processing. It would be good if we had some sort of function that causes the map to go into pause display mode. ... View more

I think it was @KoryKramer  who put me on to it, he deserves the credit. It is screen to gif , really simple to use and very affective, you can even post-edit your mini movie, say clip out a boring section before you export to gif. ... View more

Excellent, I had not spotted it appears at the very end of that polygon symbol panel. I was looking for some sort of apply button. Anyway team work got us there, now 100% success! 🙂 ... View more

It's not entirely clear what you are asking for, always good to include images in your question rather than blocks of text... That said is this what you want? I expose the two parameters and when I run it as a tool I get the default drop downs, as if I was running the tool by itself.   DuncanHornby_0-1669740028666.png   ... View more

I created  a tool for creating lines of constant length at user specified angles, see my response to the question of GIS SE. Set a long length and then clip back is one solution? This tool expects the data in a projected coordinate system. ... View more

I was curious about this, I can't answer why it selects a polygon lower in the stack of overlapping features, I guess it might be down to the spatial index? Someone from ESRI should be able to answer that question. But playing around with the different selection tools I discovered one needs to draw a small area, instead of a single click, as shown below: Using different select tools May be ESRI could improve the tool as I too would have expected the select tool to select all overlapping features in the stack of overlays. ...

I wonder if this is somehow linked to an issue I have as discussed here? ... View more

 ☹️ Ah OK, thanks for getting back. At least your question identified the issue. I could not work out why 90% of the time my progressor bar would work and 10% of the time it didn't. In those "10%", I'm like you, part of my script tool makes calls to the select by attributes tool, which you had identified as the cause of the problem. ... View more

Joshua,  Did you find a solution, I'm suffering the same issue? Duncan ... View more

How are you exporting the TOC? Just saying its not working without explaining what you have done with examples is not at all helpful. ... View more
