Satyanarayana, Can you be more specific about the problem you are having with your script?  What is it not doing? Regards, Tom ... View more

Richard, Glad you got it working!  Regards, Tom ... View more

Richard, Did you look at the spatial reference? That may be the culprit?

Richard, It is a bit hard to say without having more code for context.  A couple of things I noticed.  You are setting the graphic symbol with the symbol variable instead of the simpleMarkerSymbol that you just created.  Is that correct? Is the spatial reference appropriate for the graphic?  This may also cause the graphic to not be displayed. Regards, Tom ... View more

Greetings, I have done a couple of similar projects where I am doing a search like you are trying to do.  I add a second instance of the layer  to the dataframe that I want to use for the search as described above.  That way I can set the symbology and label the selected features too.  That way when a search is performed they can better see the results of their search.  Again, there are many ways to do things.  Use what best works for your situation!

Greetings, Certainly!  Here is a completely alternative way to accomplish what you are trying to do: import arcpy    mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument('CURRENT')  df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "Layers") [0]  lyr = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "Subdivision Boundaries")[0]   whereClause = "PLAT_NAME LIKE '%" + arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) + "%'" lyr.definitionQuery = whereClause df.extent = lyr.getExtent(True) arcpy.RefreshActiveView() Regards, Tom ...

Greetings, It looks like you are doing another selection which you have already done using your search cursor so that you can zoom to the extent of the plat.  There are always many ways to do things.  Here is a suggestion.  I have removed the section selection and added the shape field to your search cursor. import arcpy mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument('CURRENT') df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "Layers") [0] lyr = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "Subdivision Boundaries")[0] whereClause = "PLAT_NAME LIKE '%" + arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) + "%'" with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(lyr, ("SHAPE@", "PLAT_NAME"), whereClause) as cursor:     for row in cursor:         df.extent = row[0].extent         df.scale = df.scale * 5         arcpy.RefreshActiveView()         #arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF(mxd, "C:/test/" + fc + "_" + str(row[1]) + "_" +  str(row[2]) + ".pdf") Regards, Tom ...

Greetings, It looks like your whereclause is incomplete.  Try: whereClause = "PLAT_NAME LIKE '%" + arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) + "%'" Regards, Tom ... View more

Larry, Thanks very much!  Did your solution also maintain the text angle of the dimensions being drawn? Regards, Tom ... View more

Chad, Had you looked at the sample on this page?  Fade effect using ArcGIS.com web maps | ArcGIS API for JavaScript It shows how to change between different web maps based on a click event similar to yours. Regards, Tom ... View more

Kelly, Thank you! Tom ... View more

Tim, I agree.  I think I almost spent more time trying to deal with how to make my widget work with Internet Explorer than coding it...  Regards, Tom ... View more

Tim, I found some event handling weirdness when creating my Measure Widget Measure Widget 1.1.1 for Web App Builder I had to use some special event handling to accommodate the differences between the versions of Internet Explorer.  My problem was more related to mouse-drag or mouse-move events, but maybe you are having a similar problem? Regards, Tom ... View more

Nick, Yes, you are correct.  It would be a rounding issue with the toFixed.  Thanks very much for your updates! Regards, Tom ... View more

Rickey, I am seeing the same result you are.  The print widget doesn't appear to be honoring the text rotation or offsets of the dimension graphics.  I also tried just printing using the browser, which prints as displayed. I will dig into the print widget and see if there is something that I need to do differently to the dimension graphics that will help it print correctly. Regards, Tom ... View more
