Very simple fix! Thanks Jake.

Hi Bit of a small quirk and I'm sure I'm just missing something, but when I'm creating a map in ArcGIS Online in my organisational account, when I search for layers the option to search in 'ArcGIS Online' seems to be missing. I'm stuck! See the attached image. Cheers Mal

This problem is continuing to rear it's head. I created a new blank MXD, set up new data frames, added a new basemap fresh. Initially service layer credits were displaying correctly, then somewhere along the way of copying in layers and elements into the new map layout, they disappeared and stopped working. Getting very frustrating when attribution is part of the licensing for using the basemap imagery, yet the software isn't even displaying it on the imagery itself.

I'm not sure about what happens if I use MXD doctor after creating a new map document with a working dynamic link to service layer credits. Dragging over layers doesn't fix it (service layer credits will be blank in the old MXD). I have noticed that the problem is specific to data frames existing in the old MXDs. If I create a new data frame within the document and add a basemap to that, service layer credits will display correctly. I have a lot of old templates and maps that need to be updated - would prefer not to have to create a new data frame in every one, copy over features, resize and set extent, and re-do the legend!

Hi all When faced with the question of what hardware configuration to purchase for GIS work primarily using ArcGIS Desktop previously I've gone for an i7 with a slightly higher clock-speed rather than the more expensive workstation processors, since ArcGIS Desktop has been a single-threaded application. I'm looking at this again currently with a view to upgrading from 10.1 to 10.3 with ArcGIS Pro and wondering if the new versions and future development directions means that a Xeon (albeit with a slightly lower clock-speed) would be better suited as a system upgrade now? Cheers Mal

Hi all Trying to automate some contour generation with ET Surface using a script. The following script generates the error 'ETS_GPIDW() takes no arguments (7 given)'. import arcpy arcpy.ImportToolbox(r"C:\Program Files (x86)\ET SpatialTechniques\ET Surface 6.0 for ArcGIS 10.1\ET Surface.tbx") arcpy.ETS_GPIDW("C:\points.shp", "C:\Sal.img", "Sal", 2, 5, 43, 5000) I've tried running it from the command line within ArcMap and it works just fine. ArcMap 10.1 and ET Surface 6.0. Any ideas? Cheers Mal

Hi I have some hefty raster images being used as a basemap, whose quality I want to maintain in exported PDFs. However, they are incredibly slow to reload and refresh moving around in ArcMap. If I have Display Quality set to Coarse or Medium in the layer properties, will that also affect exported image quality or does it only impact display while using ArcMap? Cheers Mal

Hi Anna That's correct Anna. I am working with ArcGIS Desktop Basic 10.1 (SP1). If I begin with a new map document, I can get service layer credits to display correctly. These MXDs are ones that existed previously that I am updating, however as far as I can tell they are also the same version. Using MXD Doctor to copy everything out into a new MXD results in the same problem carrying over though - I still can't get the service layer credits to display!

Noone else come across this problem? Making it difficult to correctly reference the ESRI layers as attribution requires.

Hi all I know the question often asked is how to hide/reduce the size of the service layer credits, but I'm having the opposite problem. I'm trying to display the service layer credits in a text box using dynamic text, however the attribute is blank with text displaying as 'World Imagery - Service Layer Credits: ' followed by nothing. If I remove the reference, or add new service layer dynamic text, the same problem occurs. What could be happening here? Cheers Mal
