This is what i feared.  The Mac i have can only be updated to Catalina as it is so old.  So I don't think I will be able to do any more builds until I get a new machine that I can put Big sur on?  We have to have App Studio 4.4.77 because that is where our code is at.  The build works on our Big Sur machine, but we need the 2 build machines.  This also explains why our old ipa file for AppStudioPlayer.ipa doesn't work anymore.  I would really like that, but it looks like the old versions of that file will not work any more. ...

I had to remove the font in order to get the scrambled/corrupt/glyphs from appearing.  I also had to move my build back to AppStudio 4.  I experienced too many issues with my Survey123 3.12 template code in App Studio 5.  Notably some of the Nested Required Sections/Fields with overlap.   Thank you for all of your help.  I might post the instructions on building app studio 4 as I had to roll back my build server for a local make.  I could no longer rely on the cloud make for my code until. ...

If I switch the font from Avenir Next LT Pro to Noto Sans in the settings the issues go away, but has survey123 changed its font? ... View more

Thank you.  I will have to come up with a better solution then.  Much like OOB Pro has to alert user of a new version, i will need to use that logic for my esriaddinx  file.  I need users to be on the latest version autmatically and to get that version from portal or other url. ... View more

I tried to run 2 exports using your above Background method and I got the GPU error in ArcGIS Pro.  I don't think it was a coincidence.  I tried this with the same layout to see if I could process multiple exports simultaniously.   Task btt = BackgroundTaskTemp.Run(TaskPriority.normal, () => testlayout.Export(PDF)); Task btt2 = BackgroundTaskTemp.Run(TaskPriority.normal, () => testlayout.Export(PDF2)); await btt; await btt2; This above is essentially what I am trying to do.  A user selects multiple polygons, and I will export those as Maps to print.  They can select 1 to 10 maps.     ...

This looks very promising to what i want to do.  The thing is, is that I might be updating say 1-10 layouts at a time, so what I want to do is export them all at once on their own background thread, then wait for them all to finish.  So i think the only way to do that would be to save my "Updated" layout as a clone or something.  Otherwise I will just be printing the last layout 10 times?  So right now, in a loop i update the layout using polygon attributes, then export it, then move to the next.  The export being the choke point.  So for 10 exports it's 10x time. What i think your above process will let me do, is build up 10 layout clones in that loop, then export them all at once, drastically reducing the export time to 1x or 2x time.  But I think I need to clone the layouts that I update the elements on, then export them, then dispose them.   ...

This will be great to run in the background.  However i cannot update past 2.5 yet.  We plan on doing that real soon, but that is not an option right now.  I might have to do a work around until we upgrade to 2.7 here in the next couple months. ... View more

That worked brilliantly.  Exactly what I needed.  I couldn't figure out how to update the elements and set them all at once using set definition.  Now i need to find a way to export 10 layouts quicker.  I am looping through say 10 polygons, adding the feature attributes to my layout template (using the great code above) and exporting them.  This below export function will be my hang up now, as each call to export takes say (20-30 secs) private static async Task ExportLayoutToFile(LayoutProjectItem inLayoutItem, string inExportFileName) { try { await QueuedTask.Run(() => { Layout testlayout = inLayoutItem.GetLayout(); if (testlayout == null) { return; } // Create PDF format with appropriate settings PDFFormat PDF = new PDFFormat() { Resolution = 300, OutputFileName = inExportFileName }; if (PDF.ValidateOutputFilePath()) { //THIS LINE IS MY HANG UP as I can't export multipls files at once? testlayout.Export(PDF); } }); } catch (Exception e) { LogError("PrintForm - ExportLayoutToFile - ", e); return; } } ...

I cant get this to work async?  I have a list of text elements from a layout (my print template), then loop through all of those textElements, get the name of the element, and change the text for that element to something from the users selected polygon attributes. Is there a way to mass or bulk update the text elements?  i have to loop through and update about 50 text items for a layout template .pagx file.  I have tried updating the text properties and just using the CIMTextGraphic, and both seem very slow (around 40 seconds to do them all in total.   List<TextElementUpdate> textElementUpdates = new List<TextElementUpdate>(); foreach (Element ele in inLayoutElements) { if (ele is TextElement) { TextElement textElement = ele as TextElement; string printTextValue = ""; if (string.Equals(textElement.Name, "MyFieldName", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)) { printTextValue = "PolygonAttribute"; } else if (string.Equals(textElement.Name, "MyFieldName2", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)) { printTextValue = "PolygonAttribute2"; } //Repeat for all 50 fields or so //... //... //After each element is found add the change to the object to process all at once after the loop CIMTextGraphic CIMTextGraphic = textElement.Graphic as CIMTextGraphic; CIMTextGraphic.Text = printTextValue; TextElementUpdate teu = new TextElementUpdate(textElement, CIMTextGraphic); textElementUpdates.Add(teu); } } //Update All the TextElements, this is slow to process about 50 text elements foreach (TextElementUpdate teu in textElementUpdates) { teu.TextElementToUpdate.SetGraphic(teu.NewTextGraphic); } ...
