Gotcha.  You'll enjoy it.  I really appreciate the GIS program we have there and what it gave me.  If you get the chance, tell Kevin Cary I said hello.  How did the model results turn out? Matt ... View more

Glad to hear you were able to get the model running; let me know the results.  And yes, I graduated from WKU in December of 2011.  Are you familiar with the area? Matt ... View more

I had a few of my collegues attempt to open the model and they were successful.  I am not sure what may be going on.  Confirm that you are taking the exact same steps as entailed in the .swf video file below. Matt ... View more

What version of ArcGIS for Desktop are you utilizing? Matt ... View more

Not sure what may be going on.  I have attached a model and shapefile that works correctly on my end.  See if you can successfully run it as well on your end. Matt ... View more

In the Calculate Field tool, try changing the Expression Type to PYTHON_9.3.  This change allowed the model to run successfully on my end with your exact code block. Matt ... View more

I was able to get this to successfully run on my end with a basic field calculation.  The issue seems to be within your code block possibly, I'll take a look.  What is the outcome you are expecting to see? Matt ... View more

Also, feel free to attached your current model and input data file.  I can take a look at it for you. Matt ... View more

"GridNumber" = %Value% is correct.  That is what worked on my end with my data.  What is the field type of GridNumber?  I used a short integer field.  Also, what is the 'Data Type (optional)' set to inside the Iterate Field Values parameter window?  Mine is set to String. Matt ... View more

BJ, Take a look at how the attached model is set up.  I set the input layer as input to both the Iterate Field Values iterator and the Select Layer by Attribute tool.  I used the Value output from the iterator as part of the expression in the Select Layer by Attribute tool. Matt ... View more

I think the bigger issue here is that ArcMap is crashing while you are selecting features.  How are you selecting all of your features?  As stated above, try moving to file geodatabase as a test.  Right-click the layer in the Table of Contents and do Data > Export Data into a new, empty file geodatabase and then test the behavior with the resulting feature class(s).

Noah, Glad to hear we could help out.  If you could, mark one of my responses as "Answered" so that other uses can view this thread knowing that the original inquiry was answered. Have a great rest of your week, Matt ... View more

Noah, In ArcMap, click on the Select Features tool which is located on the Tools toolbar.  With this tool, click on the state of PA to highlight it.  Once it is highlighted, right-click the states layer in the Table of Contents and choose Data > Export Data.  In the Export Data window, give the output file a location and name.  This output file will contain only the state of PA since that is the only state you had selected in the map while exporting. Let me know if this works out for you! Matt ... View more

Noah, Glad to hear!  The current states file you are using can be symbolized differently to show just the state outlines.  In the ArcMap Table of Contents, right-click on the states layer and choose Properties.  Go to the Symbology tab and then click on the colored square symbol in the Symbol box.  In the resulting Symbol Selector window, choose the style "Hollow" and then choose a desired Outline Color.  Click OK to exit all windows. Please let me know if this accomplishes the result you are looking for. Thanks, Matt ... View more
