Have you run through the steps in the aml by hand first to see what are the equivalent modern tools to do this? It is always important to get the workflow sorted out first, then try and automate it using model builder or python / arcpy. ... View more

My original should be : targetMap['typeKeywords'].extend(['Collector', 'Offline'])‍ Where you are adding to the list in the dict key "typeKeywords". But you are saying that the targetMap object doesn't "remember" these settings. Are these settings read/write or only read? ... View more

Regarding the column thing. I just suggested that, because of the spacing / tabs or whatever, the excel importer was not seeing the data correctly and was trying to import the whole file as a series of column (ie not row by row), that's why you ran out of columns. Ask them to send you it in standard csv (comma separated) style. Then, hopefully excel would be able to interpret it correctly. And, by the way, you should be able to import csv directly into Arc without going through excel. When you get it into a point feature class, you will need spatial analyst to "rasterise" it. And, because these points seem to be on a very regular grid, it looks to me as if this is a "text dump" of a raster anyway. Each row represents the cell centre coordinates and value. Is this coming from Geosoft? If so, get them to send just the original geosoft "*.grd" files. This is Geosoft's own propriety raster format. You can download a plugin from geosoft for ArcGIS, which will enable you to read the raster, then save to an Arc format like file geodb or tiff. And, don't forget about the coordinate system for this data. ... View more

What do you mean by "switched"? You need to really see the actual coordinate system of the data. Do this in ArcCatalog rather than ArcMap. I think you are getting confused with the ArcMap dataframe, which can have its own coord sys, vs the layer in the map, which can have their own entirely different coord sys. Right click on the actual data and view the properties. I suspect that your data is still in a metres based system. To get it to feet, use the Project_management tool. ... View more

Well, format is a keyword builtin. Its a method you can apply to strings to format them. You are replacing this with your "format time string". What do you want to do? Make a fixed time format string == your date_string, or, set a variable to the current time & date? ... View more

Well, there are a whole stack of ED50 to WGS84 transformations available to you. Which one depends on the location of your data and accuracy. See pages 12 to 14 of the geographic_transformations.pdf found in the documentation folder of the ArcGIS installation. In ArcGIS / arcpy / python world, the transformation is set in the environment variables. So, no idea how to do this in Android. As I said before, isn't it just vest to use the normal desktop tools and reproject / transform the image up front. ... View more

Probably the quickest is to use some python magic. If you can post some example files here, then we can import them to points. But, if you haven't got SA, then turning them back into images will be a problem. Do you know what the coordinate system is yet? ... View more

Well here is one. Different language of course, but it must be a similar approach. Remove Powered by esri ... View more

Alternatively, just reproject the image first (with a transformation) from UTM30/ED50 to WebMerc/WGS84. ... View more

Although I have no idea of how to program this for Android, I do not speak java or whatever this is.... But, you say your raster image is in ED50 / UTM30N. That indicates to me that you will need a suitable datum transformation between ED50 and WGS84 (on which Web Mercator is based). ... View more

Do you know MS Access. The text importer there is quite flexible. For example, that first table could be imported using a fixed column positions. ... View more

That first table looks a bit odd. Where's the separator? Looks like they are just merging into each other. Possibly the first row should look like : 625079.50  4835170.50  2.41‍ But is that Z (3rd column) a realistic number for this area? The second one seems to at least have a tab or space separating the columns. Note that, for this snippet, the X is exactly spaced 1m(?) apart. Check the Y's as well. Perhaps, the linefeeds / newlines are not being interpreted correctly when you import, and it is all coming across as one very long line, that's why you run out of columns. ... View more
