Ooooohhh, I like this suggestion. I will play around with some scenarios and see how that works. This may be the best bet. Thanks!

The limitations of ArcGIS Pro 1.1 kept me away from considering it seriously. I haven't bothered with 1.2 (though, I likely should). I like the list you made as I feel the same way in most cases. When I have a little bit of time, maybe next week, I'll put on 1.2 and give it a whirl again. Hopefully it won't scare me off! Though, like all software types, it's adapt-or-die... So we will all have to learn at some point!

I am not sure on a "Python for dummies" type of site but I have this book and I really enjoy it. It has helped me to utilize Python more in my GIS world and helped me to understand it better: Python Scripting for ArcGIS, Paul A. Zandbergen, eBook - Amazon.com There are a few thousand sites out there that show how to use Python in various forms and capacities. The issue I had always come across was how to use Python for my specific application (ArcGIS). This is one reason why I liked this book since it is tailored for that. Though, you can still find other sites that mention Python in a GIS environment from searching the web. This site lists a few places for finding those resources: Resources for learning Python programming with generic GIS goals in mind? - Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchang…

Would you consider upgrading to 10.4? I really am unsure if this would alleviate any issues but maybe worth looking into? (...tough call though...)

What version of ArcGIS are you running? And have you installed any service packs? I recall that in 10.2.1 (or somewhere around there) I had lots of crashing issues dealing with CAD data. It might be worth upgrading ArcGIS to see if that helps (plus I believe later versions of ArcGIS handle dgn files better as well).

Hi K, I like Darrens ideas. Maybe do this: Join your tabular data to the polygon (after making a concatenated field like Darren pointed out). In the join, be sure you click on 'all' the data instead of just matching data. Export this newly joined polygon layer to a new feature class. Then make centroids (like Darren suggested) of this new polygon feature class. I believe that way it will keep all of your tabular data and then have it be the attributes of the new points (though, I would imagine the points would be on top of each other). EDIT: I just saw Darren's post. Related tables might be the way to go.

Sometimes ArcMap is buggy with dgn files. Can you convert your dgn into a dwg in MicroStation and then try adjusting it? Or better yet, make the CAD operator adjust the dgn file spatially in MicroStation, then it will hopefully come in properly (fat chance of that happening...)

Hi Elie, What Laura said works. Another way is to add the Data Frame Tools Toolbar Go to Customize --> Toolbars --> Data Frame Tools Here, you can type in the rotation, or you can use the tool to the left (the Rotate tool) and physically drag the map around to the rotation you like. When you go to the layout view and add a North Arrow, the arrow will reflect where North is supposed to be.

Hi Russ, I appreciate the reply. That was what I was afraid of. I was hoping for a simpler step than that. Ideally, this is how I see it... There is a group meeting in which this map is being discussed. One of the polygons needs to be updated. One of my users logs in then and there, makes the update, and then the map reflects it. I suppose it cannot be this easy without the user having to: log in navigate to the feature service load this feature service into a new map with full editing capabilities make the edit then return to the web map for the meeting Is this really the only or best way to handle this? Thanks, Adrian

Maybe you're right that there might be a big in ArcGIS Pro. Would it be worth uninstalling and reinstalling Pro? Or maybe performing a 'repair' install to see if that fixes the issue?

Hi Everyone, I hope that I am just missing something simple here but there does not seem to be an easy/secure way to have certain users edit data in AGOL. Here is the scenario. I have a public map with one feature service (that has three layers). This feature service was published from ArcMap straight to the cloud (not through a server). I want to be able to have users in my organization, in a certain group, to be able to edit this feature service on my public web map. When I enable editing for the feature service, then it seems like anyone and everyone can edit the data (without even needing an ArcGIS Online login). I can’t seem to restrict it to just certain users. From doing a fair amount of research on this and looking into different roles, it seems that the best solution is to have a user in the “Data Curator” role (the one with full edit rights) and have that user open up the feature service into a new map and edit the data that way. This site led me to that thought: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/use-maps/edit-features.htm …and look at the bottom section of “Add layer to new map with full editing control” My question is, is there not a way to have a named user in my organization edit my public web map without allowing the whole world to also edit my data? I hope this question is clear enough and that others have come across this issue… I want this to be simple for my non-GIS people in my organization and not have to have them go through many extra steps.

Do you have ArcMap installed and can you create the layer package from ArcMap?

Hi Marc, Can you give a little more description on what you are wanting to do? Are you wanting to load a shapefile into an ArcMap session? Are you wanting to just have the shapefile loaded into your code so that you can do stuff with it later? I believe you have to call the FeatureLayer object in order to grab the shapefile. You're right that there are not many examples online. Take a look at this for some tidbits: Code Example - FeatureLayerViaShapefile (scroll to the bottom/middle and click on the VB.NET area to toggle it off of C#). Or maybe you need to use the ShapefileWorkspaceFactory object to get the shapefile. ...new ESRI.ArcGIS.DataSourcesFile.ShapefileWorkspaceFactoryClass() There is an example here: ArcObjects 10 .NET SDK Help (scroll to the bottom or middle to get past the C# code)

I am not sure at this point. I found this article that discusses a few options: 17783 - Diagnose an ArcMap printing or exporting problem One thing it says is to export to EMF to see if you are seeing things properly. If you are seeing things properly, then maybe it is the PDF software that is not displaying the graphics properly. Have you tried updating your PDF software to the latest version? Are you running an older version of Adobe PDF software? The main thing it suggests is to perform the export task in ArcGIS Pro. If that is an option for you, it may be your best bet.

Pete, that is unfortunate that the export works one way and not another. I have not seen this behavior but I also have not exported pie charts before. Have you tried messing around with the export settings for PDF in order to 'force' it to behave correctly?
