Go to Add Data, navigate to the feature dataset that contains your topology and then add it to the map. You can add all layers that are included in the topology if you want. Then, go into an edit session and the topology toolbar will be active.

Have you added the topology to the Table of Contents? Did you then go into an edit session?

It doesn't appear as though that functionality is present in the geoprocessing tool. If you were to use the "Use selected features" button, how would you have selected those features in the source layer? If you're selecting by attribute, you can simply add the Select By Attribute tool to the model before the Select By Location, then you can use the New Selection option for the selection type in the Select by Location tool. If features are selected before running a geoprocessing tool, the tool will only run on those features, so by having features selected from the Select By Attribute tool, you'll only use those features as the inputs for the "Selecting Features" parameter. That might be a bit confusing, as the word "select" is in there about 100 times, but let me know if you need any more clarification.

Here are a couple of resources that might get you in the right direction, I'm not sure if you've checked them out or not: Branching: Implementing if-then-else logic Branching with If-then-else logic in ModelBuilder The first is the logic behind branching and included an if-else script in a model, and the second is a download from the Resource Center with a sample you can test with.

What license level are you using? If you have ArcInfo, you can use the Feature Vertices to Points tool to convert the vertices of the polygon to points and then the Add XY Coordinates tool to append the XY coordinates to the points. You only need ArcInfo for the Feature Vertices to Points tool.

The legend style dictates what items are going to be displayed. If you right click on the legend and go to Properties > Style, you can change the style of the legend. The Representation line is the "Header", which is the first and default choice for the legend. Change it to any of the other styles to remove the heading.

Like John said, you'll need to make sure that the fields match exactly. What you should do is create a new file geodatabase and a new feature class in the file geodatabase. Within the wizard to create the new feature class, you'll get to the window to manage fields, as well as the option to import fields in the same window. Import the fields from the old shapefile, then you have two options: 1) You can either go into an edit session on the new feature class, select features you want to copy, and copy and paste them into the new feature class. 2) Run the append using the old shapefile and new feature class as inputs, (the new feature class will be your target). This will append all records from the old shapefile to the new one. In both workflows, since the fields of both datasets are identical, the values of the records will be populated with the corresponding values.

You can use the Append tool to append features from a certain dataset into a target dataset. If features are selected in the input dataset, only those features will be appended, (or copied), into the target dataset.

Use the Make Table View tool on your input feature class, then use the Select By Attribute tool to select features, then continue with the rest of your model.

What about the Select tool? Try using that tool following the Calculate Field output. You can use an expression in the tool to satisfy a certain criteria, and features that fall in the criteria are exported to a new feature class.

Ah, I understand; I was stuck on the "one by one" part of your question, rather than the "open up the attribute table" bit. There is the Calculate Field geoprocessing tool under Data Management > Fields, which is essentially the Field Calculator tool accessed outside of the attribute table. Other than that, you can go into an Edit session and use the Attribute window, but maybe someone else has other ideas.

No problem; labeling or not, you can still use the field calculator to calculate values for a field. If you have records selected, when you use the field calculator, it will only calculate values for those selected records. If you want to calculate values for the whole field, make sure you don't have any records selected.

‎06-20-2012

It sounds as if you'd like one column to be all one value, and then label using that field, correct? To do that, use the Field Calculator in the attribute table. Right click on the field you want to label using, and then in the box at the bottom, type whatever value you want to use to label surrounded by quotes. This will populate the whole field with that one value, which can then be used for labeling. If this is not what you're looking for, elaborate if you will.

Before the append tool is used, you can look into the Collect Values tool. What this tool does is creates a list of inputs that can then be used as inputs to a successive tool. For example, run your iteration to select for whatever features you need to, and have that model end with the Collect Values tool. This should create a list of inputs that are maintained in memory. You can integrate this model in another and use the append or merge tool in that final model to create a final feature class with all selections.

Try the Insert > Object method instead from the top menu bar. Choose the Create from File radio button, and then navigate to your Excel file by clicking Browse.
