Are you tracking flow from the the Generators through transmission substations (if they exist in your system) then through the transmission lines ... View more

Don't get to excited about GPS locations with a phone. Your not going to get professional GPS results with a phone. Just close to your location results. Look up phone stats to determine battery life etc.   Our office settled on iPhone and all of our field crews use iPhone 6 or 7 and some 8's are starting to roll out. I have a Google Pixel 2 (not a company phone) and it has remarkable battery life.  ... View more

We have an office professional company that brought out 3 different model chairs for us to try.  We each tried them for 2 days. Yes I looked it up what it meant and figured out it was a humble brag.  ... View more

If you draw out the substation there will be multiple transformers and buses etc.   The different transmission lines will be feeding different buses.   I actually drew in complete substations so accurate flow works. The two different lines are not directly connected in the real world so don't connect them in the GIS ... View more

I had to look up what mesomorph meant.  I have a Herman Miller chair.  It cost around $1400 but we got them in bulk.  It is very comfortable for all day long.  For $300 or less you really are going to be more limited for high end chairs for specific back issues. You best bet may be to go to Office Max and check out their selection.  Some office supply professionals have a loaner program where you can lease a chair for a week or two to check it out.  ...

Thousands??? Get a list of all your item id's  Put them in an Access table Copy the python script to a new Access Table.  Two tables one that is thousands and one that is just the script. Change the script so that the variables match your environment. other than <item id> Add to the bottom of the script del gis del item1 this does not delete the gis or the item it just deletes them from the running python script so they can be used 1000's of times.  add both tables to a create query session.  add the long one as the first field ad the script as the second field.  Then do a make table.   This will create a new table that has your id's on the left and the script on the right.  Then make another query to replace the  <item ID> with the value from the left column.   ...

It might not be an issue with pro.  We had issues in the past but upgraded our network.  Pro actually works faster for me now than ArcMap.   I would suggest also not making your project direct from MXD's if you can help it.  The nature of pro is such that the translation from an MXD can cause issues.  ...

Ok sounds good.  But did  you have a question? If you wanting to give the roads address ranges.  Typically E911 format is to have four Attributes. FromLeft, FromRight, ToLeft, ToRight.  You need to know the increasing direction and what side is odd and what is even. If your range is 1 to 45 and odds are on the left with an increase from East to West you would start the FromLeft with a 1 and the ToLeft as 45 FromRight would be 2 and ToRight would be 46.  You would want to go 46 in this example to keep the same number of Address numbers in both right and left ...

It only works in ArcGIS Online.  Does not work with Portal. Which makes it not usable for our organization. We still have some ArcGIS Online presence so I tried it on there and found it to be slow and cumbersome to work with. I had created a Dashboard to do the same thing.   For our purposes doing the same in Dashboard is a lot more versatile and functional.  ... View more
