Having similar problems.  All the features involved are in the same projected coordinate system, having linear unit feet, and they are all shapefiles.  Data frame coordinate system is also the same as the shapefiles.  Distances are off by varying factors ranging from 50 to 5000.  I gave up some time ago on using this tool, unless there's a very large number of distances involved, due to inexplicable results like this, but maybe I'm missing something? ...

Is there any way to make use of this tool or an equivalent without having to set up a topology?  Ever rare time I have to use this tool I have to look up again how to do the topologies, its a waste of time. ... View more

I'm having the same problem (10.3.1) with using field calculator to 'copy' multiple joined string fields into another.  Removing and recreating the join worked for one field, killing all Arc processes and reopening ArcMap also fixed it for a few fields. ... View more

Sometimes the graphic defaults get set to transparent and it makes a marker that can't be seen.  You can change the default graphic settings in the Drawing toolbar drop down under Default Symbol Properties.  Other times I can't make it work and have no idea why, in which case I just make a junk shapefile to find coordinates as its faster.  The tool isn't very functional. ...

Its weird how the in program label expression builder when set to Python still uses [XYZ] for the fields. (in ArcMap 10.3)  Thanks, I wasn't aware of the startswith method, the code works now as: def FindLabel ( [SITE] 😞  if str([SITE]).startswith('18') == True:   return " "  else:   return [SITE] ...

ArcMap 10.3.1  The data type I'm trying to label is long and its length varies form 4 to 8 digits.  The definition query I have on is SITE <> 18% ... View more

How can I get this to work for a numeric wildcard?  I want to exclude from labeling all values of SITE that start with 18 so I put this together: def FindLabel ( [SITE] 😞  if int([SITE]) == '18%':   return " "  else:   return [SITE] The syntax checks out, but all the values that start with 18 are still labeled.  If I take away the quotes around the 18 I get a syntax error.  What gives?  Is there no wildcard term for numbers in Python? ...

10.3.1 - Same problems described here.  Usually it just doesn't do anything no matter which options I select, Rectify or that other one. ... View more

I had the 'selection contains one or more features that are not editable' error when trying to split a polygon.  The polygon in question was a shapefile.  However the mxd I was working in has geodatabase FCs in it.  I loaded the polygon to split by itself in a new mxd and the split polygon worked. ...

I had the same problem with a 2018 format dwg, saving the dwg down to 2010 format fixed it. ... View more

I have the same problem.  It even says they are features in the output, but zoom to produces nothing, flashing the feature shows nothing, its like they don't exist. ... View more

Here's a clutter creating workaround: Create a dummy layer to be used only in the legend that is a copy of the legend item with the patch you want to change.  Use that layer in the legend, adjust its symbology width as desired and turn it off in your map but keep it in the legend. ... View more
