Hi Everyone, I have created a python script to allow the user to export all data driven pages to individual pages. Please feel free to enhance or edit the script for your purposes. The only thing I do ask is that if you edit or enhance it please repost. Cheers Andrew ... View more

Hi There, Thanks for the information, i will forward this on to our SA for testing Cheers Andrew ... View more

Hi David, What was your solution here? Cheers Andrew ... View more

The best idea would be to have the Scale Bar option when creating the Mapbook and you could set options like you would when adding a scale bar, with addition that when it reaches a certain scale that it switches to a new scale bar. ... View more

Hi SC, I had a similar problem with an application that I built in ArcPad 7 (in 2008) and at that stage I did a massive rebuild of the application to incorporate some of the new functionality between 6 and 7. Unfortunately there appears to be differences in ArcPad 7 and ArcPad 10 (not just isolated to 10.0.2) Were on the device it wasnt calculating my values at the end of my application. Unfortunately I havent had a chance to investigate this. One would imagine that ESRI has subtly changed something that is causing the error. I would have to say that it is both a bug in the code and the application. There is no straigh forward check either. Sorry about this Regards Andrew Hi, Andrew. Thanks for your advice. The application has been developed in 2002 and successfully run on ArcPad 6 and 7. Unfortunately, it appears abnormally in ArcPad 10.0.2 (PC Version only).  I just want to know whether it is a bug of ArcPad.  If affirmative, I do not have to waste my time to refine the program codes. I observed that it appears on combobox that all items have no alpha char. If I added an item with alpha char, the combobox showed correct value. SC Program codes: ****************************************************** Sub SetComboBox(objCtr, mValue, mFieldName, mSQL, mBlank) Dim condb  Dim objRS Dim mCount Dim mListIndex Dim mData Set condb = CreateObject(gtxtConnection) condb.ConnectionString = gstrConn condb.Open Set objRS = CreateObject(gtxtRecordset) objRS.Open mSQL, condb, 1 mCount = 0 mListIndex = -1 mValue = Trim(DefVal(mValue, "")) If mValue = mBlank Then mListIndex = 0 Call objCtr.Clear Call objCtr.AddItem(mBlank, mBlank) Do While (Not objRS.EOF)    mCount = mCount + 1    mData  = Trim(DefVal_Str(objRS.Fields(mFieldName).Value, mBlank))    If (mListIndex < 0) And (mValue = mData) Then mListIndex = mCount    Call objCtr.AddItem(mData, mData)    objRS.MoveNext Loop   If (mListIndex < 0) And (mValue <> mBlank)  Then    Call objCtr.AddItem(mValue, mValue)    mListIndex = mCount + 1 End If objCtr.ListIndex = mListIndex objCtr.Value = mValue objRS.Close Set condb = Nothing Set objRS = Nothing End Sub ****************************************************** ...

Hi there, I did this very think for an application created in ArcPAD 7.0. The best way is to code it either in a specific script file or on the page where you code on the onselect event. All you would have to do is Define your variables like page names, controls, values etc Create your statement similar to how you have mentioned in your Query: Z = (A+B+C)/3 let me know if you need any more assistance Cheers Andrew I'm using ArcPad V 7.0.1.53 and the ArcPad Form Creation Wizard to develop a field form associated with a shapefile (layer definition file?). I'm new to form customization. Is there a way to create a calculated field in the Wizard or ArcPad studio?  Specifically, I'd like to take the average of values associated with multiple fields in the form (Field D = (Field A+Field B+Field C/3)) and have that value as a unique field in the form. Thank you! joe ... View more

I was wondering are you harding coding the values through VB or have you created a list in ArcPAD GUI? Are you able to show your code for this? Also i wonder if it would be easier to add the list from the file like txt or dbf, just a thought, or if you are using an AXF file then why not create the table in AXF? Cheers I am adding the following information to the Combo Box of a Form using additem on ArcPad 10 and set the objCtr.ListIndex = 17 objCtr.Value = �??1100 �?? 1730�?� In WM6.5, it shows a correct value of �??1100 �?? 1730�?� onscreen, however the PC version shows a value of �??1300 �?? 2000�?�. For those Combo Boxes with alpha elements, it shows correctly in both PC and WM. Also, the VBS codes have been executed by ArcPad 6 and 7 and no problem occurred. How can I solve the problem in ArcPad 10?

Hi Andrew, I'm currently working on a map project for the Santa Cruz County Search and Rescue team and dealing with a similar issue.  The people on the ground want UTM coords and the pilots want decimal degrees.  My initial thought was to set up the different grids to use and then export each as a graphic, then convert the graphics to a feature to have access to it in the TOC.  Obviously this is not an ideal solution but I'm hoping it works.  I think the biggest problem is going to be the loss of dynamic labeling once converted.  I'll let you know what happens if I give it a shot. Best, Aaron Cole GIS Analyst, Center for Integrated Spatial Research University of California, Santa Cruz Hi Aaron, Thank you for this, would be great to see what your final result is.

Andrew, We make numerous map books at a variety of scales.  I would suggest creating a 5000 unit grid and a 1000 unit grid using the Cartography Tools/Data Driven Pages/Grid Index Features Display the Grid Index Features appropriately, but set the scale dependencies for the 1000 unit grid to not display when only the 5000 unit is appropriate.  You can use the 5000 unit grid as the source for the graticule. Here is a sample with two data frames centered on the same area.  The top image shows the 5000 unit grid, page graticule, and 1000 unit grid.  The bottom is just the 5000 unit grid. If you needed to add a latitude/longitude or UTM graticule those could be added with a different font & offset. Regards, Emmor Nile GIS Coordinator Oregon Department of Forestry Hi Emmor, Thank you very much for this. But this solution isnt ideal as I require the Measured grid not a grid inside the data frame.
