For anyone else that finds themselves with this problem, the answer did lie in the projection. If I create a polygon feature layer in AGOL, it will have the WGS 84 coordinate system and give wonky area calculations. To solve this, I opened the feature layer in ArcPro, assigned a State Plane coordinate system, and calculated the area in ArcPro in the layer's attribute table. To check my work, I opened the feature layer in AGOL and used the "draw area" tool in a web map to verify the measured area matches the calculated area, and it did. I also created another data column and calculated the areas in AGOL, again to verify the areas are the same.

I heard rumor that we should now be able to group layers together in ArcGIS online webmaps similar to what we do in ArcMap and ArcPro thanks to one of the recent updates. However, I still cannot figure out how to make it happen. Does someone know how to do this now?

I am writing code to cycle through tile packages and publish them to ArcGIS Online. I have tried sticking "arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True" in a few different places but it doesnt work. The code halts when it finds a duplicate in the output location (here AGOL). Please tell me where it is supposed to go, or if I should use something else like asking if the file exists first. from arcgis.gis import GIS
import os
import getpass
import arcpy
import sys
gis = GIS("xxx", "xxx", "xxx")
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True
arcpy.env.workspace = r'C:\Users\natb0\OneDrive - drycreekeng.com\GIS\GIS\Data\Dry_Creek\7000_CLS_Farms\drone_flight_072720\TilePackages'
workspace = arcpy.env.workspace
for p in arcpy.ListFiles("*"):
print (p[:-5])
data_file_location = workspace + "\\" + p
tile_package = { 'title': ('%s') % p[:-5], 'tags': 'Drone, Imagery', 'type': 'Tile Package'}
add_tile_package = gis.content.add(tile_package, data = data_file_location)
publish_tile_package = add_tile_package.publish()
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True
publish_tile_package.move(folder= 'Drone')

I have crews checking pest traps and they record their data using Collector. I would like the trap ID in the Collector map to prepopulate based on their location when they get to a trap. Kacy, does your script do something similar by prepopulating fields based on their location near a known point? If so, can you share how you created the URL popup to do that? Thanks, Natalie

Thank you Jason for the link. Unfortunately, if you read between the lines in what the information says "As long as your data does not require authentication to access..", this means it has to be shared with the public. I think I just need to migrate everything to a cloud server and that will solve my problems. Natalie

My client wants to connect some of their AGOL layers to their Tableau software. Unfortunately, as of the new Tableau update this Spring, you can only connect publicly available datasets to Tableau and my client does not want to make any of their datasets public. Has anyone else found a work-around? I know you can convert the data layers to a SQL server format and add them that way, but I haven't found a good tool for that yet either.

Thanks Dan. I did have to remove an environment from Pro to get the command prompt to find the right env. However, when I run the Python Command Prompt (as admin) I still get the error below. I think I am done trying to install spyder. I'll just keep using PyScripter.

Hi Dan, I uninstalled ArcPro and reinstalled it to c:\ArcPro as you recommend. Now when I open the Python Command Prompt it is still looking for the default "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3". When I change the directory to the new location "C:\ArcPro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3" I get the error below. What do I need to do to change the default location? Thanks, Natalie

Hi Dan, let me introduce you to my rabbit holes. 1. I try to add Spyder to my base environment in ArcPro. As you can see the highest version available is 3.3.6. I am up to date on all updates. 2. Go to Anaconda Navigator and try to install it in the base. 3. Try to install it from the Python Command Prompt (as administrator) 4. Repeat above steps for cloned environment and get the same result.

Hi Dan, I cloned my ArcPro environment, restarted my computer, and ran "conda install spyder --no-pin" as you suggested. I get an error saying the command is using a remote connection in offline mode. Do you have any suggestions for getting around this?
