Good Afternoon All, I have a Mapbook (using Data Driven Pages) project that is based on different Polygon scales. Does anyone have a solution to have multiple Measured Grids in my layout view that could be switched on and off based on the scale that the map is at? For Example: Map 1 has a scale at 1:10,000, therefore the measured grid would be set to 1000 Intervals Map 2 has a scale at 1:50:000, therefore the measured grid would be set to 5000 intervals and so on. Any help would be great Many thanks Andrew ... View more

Good Morning All, I was wondering if someone has created code that does the following: Explode a Polygon that doesnt touch Merge polygons that do touch The First Image is an example of a polygon that doesnt touch and needs to be exploded The Second Image is a collection on polygons that have different attributes but been to be merged together. I am dealing with over 1 million polygons and would like to do this programmatically. Many thanks and look forward to your replies Regards ... View more

Hi All, I did a quick search and didnt find anything on this yet. I find it very fraustrating: for text boxes that      when you want if you want your text to be on multiple lines you have to      manually add line breaks. For Labels it is      fraustrating when your label exceeds the bounds of your polygon.   It would really great to have several options: Textboxes: The ability to have      something similar to Textboxes in Visual Basic Editor where you have      options to set it to a multi-line textbox. The ability to change      the size of the textbox without changing the size of the text And some basic formatting      options in the Textbox dialog box.   Labels: The ability to set a length      limiter on labels (for example, if text length = 20, go to the nearest “space”      then create a line break The ability to have a      setting that limits the label to the polygon   I think these changes would be extremely useful.   Cheers   Andrew ...

Hi All, I am working on a project in ArcPad 8 SP3. I have a Shapefile with to fields UserNumber (Long Integer) UserText3 (Text Field) Below is my Code that i have created to autogenerate a Unique ID and my Text_box that it relates to will store that value that is returned to UserNumber. How would I go about adding that value directly to the Attribute table for UserText3? Sub InitialiseGPSID 'Do any form initialization in this sub Dim objEFPageOneControls, objEditForm Set objEditForm = ThisEvent.Object Set objEFPageOneControls = objEditForm.Pages("PAGE1").Controls   'Initialization for form in any mode 'Disable the GPS ID edit box   objEFPageOneControls("txt_GPSID").Enabled = False   'Initialization for form when adding new records   If objEditForm.Mode = 3 Then ' Mode 3 is used when creating a new feature.         'Get the Fence Points layer's recordset (to pass into the ReturnNextID function)     Dim objUniqueID     Set objUniqueID = Layer.Records if ReturnNextID (objUniqueID, "USERNUMBER") = 1 then     'Update the Tree ID      objEFPageOneControls("txt_GPSID").Value = ReturnNextID (objUniqueID, "USERNUMBER") + 10000 else   objEFPageOneControls("txt_GPSID").Value = ReturnNextID (objUniqueID, "USERNUMBER") end if   End If   'Free objects   Set objEFPageOneControls = Nothing   Set objEditForm = Nothing   Set objUniqueID = Nothing End Sub '\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ 'Also write the function ReturnNextID that is called by InitializeForm. Function ReturnNextID (objRS, strFieldName)   Dim intMax   'Get the first record   objRS.MoveFirst   'Initialize the max value to the first record   intMax = CInt(objRS.Fields(strFieldName).Value)   'Loop through the records, updating the max value if necessary   Dim intCurrVal   While Not objRS.EOF     intCurrVal = CInt(objRS.Fields(strFieldName).Value)     If (intCurrVal > intMax) Then       intMax = intCurrVal     End If     objRS.MoveNext   Wend   ReturnNextID = intMax + 1 End Function '\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ ...

Good Afternoon All, Imagine this.... You are capturing a fenceline using capture GPS vertex in ArcPad 8, when you stumble across a a hole in the fence and you now need to capture this point of interest. 1) Are you able to pause the line capture process to capture that POI 2)If not would it be better to capture the fenceline as Points so that when i come across said hole I can capture that information? Our end user does not want to capture the fenceline then walk all the way back to the hole in the fenceline. Any help would be great Cheers Andrew Keywords: Fenceline, Points of Interest, ArcPad ...

Good Afternoon All, I have a dilemma. we have an application for collection of GPS data for Crossings and Gates. What we have is existing locations with x amount of attribute data. What needs to happen is either to update the X & Y location or Attribute Data, or a combination of both. Does anyone know a way of how to do this through VB code? Any assistance would be grateful. Many thanks Andrew ... View more

I think it would be great if there was a GUI similar to ET GeoWizards GUI with different options and tools to undertake different tasks. What would be useful for such a GUI is that it was completely customisable for the user to add the tools that they wanted. What makes ET GeoWizards a great tool is being able to batch Erase or Clip, split layers by attributes, and other functions with out need to purchase ArcEditor or Info licenses. ... View more

Hello all, I was wondering if it were possible progammatically to dock the form to the side of the screen (if using a Tablet). Like having two columns, one for the form and the other part with a map window on it. It this even possible in ArcPad 8 or not? Any assistance would be really great Thank you Andrew ... View more

Cartograms are something that appear to have been missing from ArcGIS for quite sometime. Cartograms are more of a Cartographic type application. I consider though that some of the changes to the ArcGIS suite have been more focused on Cartographic aspects. So i would quite like to see this ability come to ArcGIS 10. ... View more
