What is the code you use in Excel? Thanks for your help Melinda-- I am trying to do a Calculate Field function, but not being a "code" person, am trying to figure that piece out.  Just trying to format the decimal value of 1.5 to look like 1:30.  Will keep searching or just export to Excel. ...

I exported them to a featuredataset that has a Z coordinate system.  I managed to display the transmission lines as a line and at the height I want, but in between the poles it still follows the TIN I have ArcScene 10.2 I have my TIN. I have transmission poles which I adjusted to have a base on the TIN surface, I extruded them to their height.  They come across as nice little cylinders. Now I have my transmission line.  I can give it the base of the TIN but cannot figure out how to make them drawn on the tops of the poles. When I extrude them to 5 feet less than the poles it makes a Wall so to speak, and it follows the TIN.  They are in a geometric network.  However, not in a geometric network with the poles.  Is that a key? ...

Just envision ArcScene with only toolbars and a drop down menu. I was able to get it to pop up, in manner of speaking, by adding an editable layer.  Starting and Edit Session. opening Info Window and sliding if over to where the TOC should be.  and badda bing it appeared. Hi Could you upload a screenshot? ... View more

Are you using a FONT that is not part of the ESRI Font set? Did you restart your machine after installing the font.  Hello, I'm having a hard time searching why my nautical symbols doesn't work !! I've installed the fonts as require in the c:\\windows\font but i still cannot see my symbols. [ATTACH=CONFIG]32281[/ATTACH] Thanks you ... View more

It is a matter of creating a unique symbol for each number.  Not a nice option if you have hundreds.  I have had to do it for a feature but the most I have had to go so far was up to 65. Once you do it save it as a layer file. Hi all, I have 13 points I'm mapping and would like to use numbers as symbols so when I make the legend its simply a number and the ID/name from the attribute table.  However, I can only find in ESRI symbols 1 - 10 (that leaves me short 11, 12, 13).  Does anyone know how I can symbolize them with numbers?  The only thought I've had so far is to download number clipart.  Thanks in advance! ...

You can also adjust a setting on the Legend to not change when symbols change.  However, the previous recommendation rotate based on attribute is the better option.  That is what I use as well. That worked, thanks. ... View more

Let me rephrase it. Will there be a set number of diameters? ... View more

Your better off finding a 10.0 database, cleaning it out and simply  filling it from your 10.2 database. I am trying to create a 10.0 gdb in a 10.2 environment.  I have found the tool to do this in toolbox and it finishes but when I look at the properties in catalog it says this Geodatabase matches the ArcGIS release you are currently using.   Anyone else have this issue? Is it teasing me or did it really not work? ... View more

any reason why you don't just create the point from a template.  then it would be automatically selected when you place it? I have a script that creates a point with a mouse click (onMouseDownMap). The feature class is in a SDE geodatabase which has about 80,000 features in it. An edit session and an edit operation is needed, creating the point work just fine but i need some code after stopping the edit session to select the point that was just created to be able to pass to another function. The problem with starting the an edit session and an edit operation is that it clears the selection. Any help would be awesome! Thanks. ... View more

Are there a set number of diameters? If so you should create a subtype of the diameters.  Enter the values for the Diameter as you create the different subtypes. Then in the dialog below the subtypes are your different attributes.  When you select your first diameter (in the subtype dialog) go to the attribute and fill in the default value for the description. You can do this for each subtype. I want to populate the value in the field "description" when the value in "diameter" is created or changed. tableName - water_pipes fieldName - description valueMethod - expression valueInfo - IIF([DIAMETER] >=16, "250") onCreate - True onChange (attribute) - True onChange (geometry) - false manualOnly - False I've tried both creating a new feature and changing the value of an existing feature attribute but this expression is not working. Any ideas? I've looked through the forum and found much more complicated expressions that this seems simple in comparison. ... View more

What area are you looking in?  Perhaps it would be be to try and find better contours I know in my region we have 2 foot contours available.
