I have hundreds of polygons that I'd like to put together to create one polygon. In the past I would simply use the Dissove tool and this worked fine. The polygons I'm trying to put together now are parcels and they are separated wherever there is a road right-of-way. When I do the Dissolve, the polygon has "cracks" in it. I've gone through most of the tools I thought might get rid of the "cracks" (Eliminate, Integrate, Union) and can't seem to get a solid polygon feature.  Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! ... View more

I've just upgraded my OS to Windows 7. I had some ArcPad folders checked out for data collection prior to doing the upgrade (OS Windows XP, ArcPad 8, ArcMap 9.3.1). I'm trying to check them in and I'm not getting the option on the ArcPad manager toolbar. Is there another way to check the folders in without losing any of the data collected? ... View more

I have thousands of line features that should have been snapped to the nearest point feature when they were created. Unfortunately, they weren't and so I'm looking for a script or tool to help me do this quickly. I found the "Bulk Snap" tool, however, I can't get the .dll loaded to my tools to see if that will work. Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks! ... View more

When I run an arcpy script in ArcGIS10 to perform analysis on a shapefile, the shapefile is added to the map automatically. I can't find a way to make this happen in 9.3. I've looked for code corresponding to the "add data" button and can't seem to find anything. I've tried the addLayer but it doesn't seem to work right with a shapefile (although, I could be doing something wrong). # Import system modules import sys, string, os, arcgisscripting # Create the Geoprocessor object gp = arcgisscripting.create() # Load required toolboxes... gp.AddToolbox("C:/Program Files/ArcGIS/ArcToolbox/Toolboxes/Data Management Tools.tbx") gp.AddToolbox("C:/Program Files/ArcGIS/ArcToolbox/Toolboxes/Analysis Tools.tbx") # Local variables... shapefile_name = "shapefile_name" selected_shp = gp.GetParameterAsText(0) Output_Feature_Class = gp.GetParameterAsText(1) # Process: Select... gp.Select_analysis(shapefile_name, selected_shp, "") # Process: Dissolve... gp.Dissolve_management(selected_shp, Output_Feature_Class, "", "", "MULTI_PART", "DISSOLVE_LINES") # Process: Add the shapefile to the map gp.AddFeatureLayer(selected_shp,Output_Feature_Class) Thanks for any help! ...
