Hi Dan, I actually was not aware of such a thing. Not that I googled it, I do not have any of those.

I have a polygon feature class. My objective is to convert the polygons into a raster. I want to write the index of the polygon (happens to be the key or OBJECTID) of the records in the attribute table. I am getting incorrect values written. I tried adding a new field (short integer then text) and calculating the values for all members, but it didn't work. By "didn't work" I mean that instead of writing the index of the polygon, the tool wrote the index of the polygon +1 or +2, which makes no sense. I'm attaching the attribute table of the raster for reference. Notice how after OBJECTID = 1969, Values no longer match.

Thanks, Dan! Totally missed "ArcGIS Pro" in the page in header in the function documentation here: Add Relate—Data Management toolbox | ArcGIS for Desktop This should be a part of ArcGIS Desktop because it's very useful!

I cool function I recently learned about is AddRelate_management which adds a relation to a table. I'm working on ArcGIS 10.3.1 for Desktop and apparently this function is not supported and even a Google search of "AddRelate_management" would only yield five results at most. Is anyone using this function? How can I get it?

Hi Dan. Both layers were added in arcmap, both had the same coordinate system, and both were visible before applying the join and after removing the join. I found a way to do what I want, which might be helpful to my fellow ArcMappers: (1) In TOC, right click on the layer you want to "filter" (2) Scroll down to "Joins and Relates > Relate..." and navigate through the dialog (3) Now open the attributes table of the second layer (4) Click "Table Options > Select All > Related Tables"

I want to join a feature class A with polygon features to another feature class B with point features based on a common field. I'm using add join. After it completes, the polygons are invisible. That is, I cannot see the polygons in ArcMap although when I select them in the attributes table, they are selected on the map (only the edges appear in blue). What is the reason behind this behavior?

Thank you Jayanta. Let's start with (2), this was very helpful. Even when not using a basemap, but several layers of different coordinate systems, projecting some feature classes to use the coordinate system set for the data frame does significantly improves experience. Regarding (1), I guess I've tried this without explicitly setting up a connection. I created a new empty data frame and loaded OpenStreetMaps. But I tired your procedure as well. In both cases, panning and zooming are nowhere nearly as smooth as with ArcGIS online, which is incredibly smooth. EDIT: I get a smoother pan and zoom when I click the "Preview" tab in ArcCatalog as opposed to dragging the map from ArcCatalog to ArcMap.

This is definitely not a hardware problem, because when I access OpenStreetMap online from the ArcGIS page it zooms in, zooms out, and scrolls pleasantly smoothly. However, it's a pain scrolling around and zooming in or out while I'm in ArcMap, basemaps on or off: it's very slow and choppy. What can I do to have the smooth behavior I have with ArcGIS online or in other pages supported by esri?

I actually successfully converted .lyr files to excel files using the approach use just described, though after some researching. But what I'm looking for is how to convert layers as they appear in the Table of Contents in ArcMap, something I could do manually by using the to-excel conversion dialog.

‎11-29-2015

I would say TableToExcel_conversion is kind of poorly documented. While the conversion toolbox allows me to manually convert [attribute tables] of a layer in my active data frame to an excel file, the documentation gives two example for which the input argument is a feature in a gdb. What I'm doing is listing all layers in my desired data frame, and calling this function on each of these layers, which is giving me the error "Dataset ... does not exist or is not supported". Note that, I can manually convert my layers to excel files using the conversion toolbox but don't want to because there's a slew of them. Any suggestions?
