Can you show a picture of your data here, or post some example. It is likely that they are being interpreted as text fields rather than as numbers. ... View more

And what format is your data in? Shapefiles, file geodb... ? Have you checked / repaired the geometry? check-geometry repair-geometry ... View more

Most commonly these problems are related to the coordinate systems of the datasets. Are they all in the same projected system? ... View more

Well, that coordinate you gave above seems to be in the correct place. But if you are saving the "shapefile", you cant put one of those in the default geodatabase. Just loose the ".shp" from the name and save it as a normal feature class. ... View more

When you use the Add XY table tool or add the XY event layer to ArcMap, are you putting in the XYs / Lat/Longs in the correct way round? for you  (e.g. 40.04746, -75.233316), in NAm that first one is the Y (Lat), 40 deg N of the equator, and the second the X (Long), 75 deg west. ... View more

The projection engine will need geometries. You could do this in python using geometry method .projectAs or just use the normal features of ArcMap. You could add all your points (if that is what they are), in the source SR, then change the data frame to the target SR, then add those coordinates as attributes back to the original points. ...

I thought that Web Merc was a mteres based system, not feet. But either way, that shift is very tiny, about 0.05mm. You are probably hitting the limits of numeric resolution there. Just zoom out a bit and ignore it. ... View more

The usual questions here... How small is the shift you illustrated? What is the coordinate system? What type of db? What version? ... View more

Use Near Table in Analysis Tools Proximity. Check the location radio button. The Near table output can then be used with XY to Line. See this : ... View more

Just like Adrian says, basemaps are just that, basemaps or background maps. Why would you want to "edit" any of it. If i get you correctly, you can certainly create new data to highlight or emphasise some region on the basemap. But its not part of the basemap, it's your data displayed on top. ... View more

You will have to go into your windows regional settings and change the decimal separator from "," to "." ... View more

Well the best way is to write some python to ingest this and create a polygon featureclass from the file. Its not too difficult. I imagine that this is actually a text file, rather than xls or something. Is that your decimal separator ","? If you can post a portion of the file here, I am sure someone can take a look. ...

Or if you wanted the python version. Check the python parser radio button first. !QL_PROPID![:6]‍‍ ... View more

Isn't dissolve what you want to do? You may have to create a new dissolve item in your attribute table first, then copy over those first 6 characters across. dissolve ... View more

Not sure what you are saying here. Quite a few contributors here go back to the days of AML (myself included). But most have moved on through the various ways of programmatically get Arc to do "stuff" that we have had to deal with over the years. The "tools" or "commands" have changed quite a bit since then and now. ... View more
