I never went the .net route either since I'm not fluent. I do have several python addins, some that are new and others that I'm currently updating. One thing to keep in mind is that ArcGIS Pro cannot use Python addins.  However, and addin is just a zip file with the .esriaddin extension instead of .zip (that is, you can change the extension to .zip and unzip to view any of the addin files), so if you get an addin, you can usually unzip it and use the toolbox (if that is the source) directly in Pro.  If it's your own addin, you should be able to use the toolbox direct in Pro. What I am finding right now though is the move from python 2.x to 3.x is causing a few issues....and Pro is much more strict in correct syntax (i.e. tabs OR spacing....not mixed)....Desktop is much more forgiving.   So, keeping everything clean from the get go helps.   I'll probably summarize some and share some of my tips at some point when I figure out the code for being able to test and have it work for both. Have fun....(I really like python addins!) ... View more

You may want to look at this discussion Re: Python add-ins vs. .NET add-ins?   I have some tips for getting going on python addins.  It's pretty fast and easy to setup if you get all your scripts loaded into a custom Toolbo (toolbox, not toolbar).  The outcome is an addin with a custom toolbar. ...

Adam, Thomas Colson​ put out a new blog post Summary of ArcGIS Server SSL Issues  that has links to many of the SSL discussion on geonet....might help in your research. ... View more

I don't have time right now to help with the python (although it is an interesting and doable script), but conceptually, one thing you could do to get the points and parallel lines is to create a copy of the line (offlset), then move alone the parallel line creating points at you given distance, then use the near distance.    (many apologies for not even looking up the proper python commands...but sometimes getting the concept worked out helps....then the python is much easier) ...

Maybe there are some "political rules" that don't allow it to be posted?  I seem to recall from my Social Studies class, oh so long ago, that there is something about equal time required when in the "media"......but I could be wrong, and it could be for other reasons....and "media" is a very blurred term now.    Just a thought. ...

Thomas, Thanks for putting this list together and sharing.  Although there isn't anything WAB specific, there are issues that come up when implementing, so I'm going to add a link to this page in the Web AppBuilder Developer Edition - Customization Resource List​ ... View more

Hi Xander, Between the isuncpath and the lst = os.path.split(p)   I'm getting really close.  But I can't hard code the  "master.DBO" since that will change. In my case, lst[1]    is actually      'sde_wcgis_master.DBO.DWCMasters' What is the correct syntax to end up with   just the   'sde_wcgis_master.DBO.'   portion (since the  lst[1] could change).    I'm assuming it is a flavor of strip, I just haven't found the right combo yet.  (still testing though) EDIT:  getting my last question figured out.  I was trying to use strip instead of split zz = lst[1].split('.') I can work with that. Thanks for your help Xander.  I think I'm ready to roll in the morning on this! ... View more

This addin/toolbar (for ArcCatalog) is still in my final developement.....but I'm getting close to getting my addin that will do several things, including listing all your broken links, and then give the option to update.  I'll attache the documentation, which is all over the place as far as instructions, and the addin, which has been tested in 10.3.x (but should work in 10.2).  Instruction for loading (from an email I sent to test staff earlier this morning) Save the ChkandFixLinks.esriaddin file to anywhere handy.  Double click, it will ask if you want to install…click Install Add-in.   Then open or reopen ArcCatalog.  If you don’t see the toolbar, or not sure, go to Customize (on top menu bar) Click on that and you will see Toolbars>   …hover to the right and make sure the toolbar is checked.  If you don’t see it, click it off/on until you see where it is. Click on the third icon over (for the one that will give a unique list of all broken links in a folder) In the dialog box, use the folder icon and then navigate to the folder where all you mxd’s are located (it will go thru (walk) all the subfolders underneath too) and leave the other two as they are Then click ok, and it will run.  When completed, it will have created a couple files…they are the same, just one is and Excel file, and the other is comma delimited….I suggest opening the Excel (.xls) file to review.  They will be called BrokenSrc with the date/time it was run. Sorry this is pretty messy....when it's completed with the additional scripts, I will post (probably to ArcScripts 2.0).  The 4th icon over will do a bulk change from drive->drive or drive->UNC    look at the Samples folder (if you unzip the esriaddin ("after installing) and there is a samples folder for format.  After the bulk updates, it will run a new unique list.  The next script which is almost complete, will allow for changing longer paths, shapes or coverages to FGDB, etc.    Feedback is welcome and appreciated (especially if it doesn't work at all for you).  BTW - the first three tools don't change anything, just create lists/reports so you can see what you need to fix....i.e. other than createing .txt, .xls, and .csv files (all with unique name_date_time for file name, they can not do any damage (but you must have write access to the folder you are analyzing. (although setting the path might work (haven't tested). I hope these tools help. ... View more

Nav Ka, Good luck with you studies.  Make sure to mark the answers that you found helpful, and then mark the question as assumed answered so it will be shown as closed. ... View more

Another trick we have done is to open a new mxd, and then copy and paste everything from the old/bloated mxd, to the new.  Then save and close the new one without doing anything additional. If that doesn't work, then I would check to see if there really is a different in the data layers you are including in the smaller vs. larger mxd's.  Maybe they are similar, but not the same exactly? Edit: by the way, you may want to Moving Content​ to a more appropriate location like maybe GIS  or Mapping .  right now it is in the SDK for Android group which will not have see as many users that may have solutions. ...
