Views created programmatically from services that have non-sequential layer ids are unusable. I created a view from this code: source_search = gis.content.search("test_20240608_unique_ids_assigned_all_around")[0] source_flc = FeatureLayerCollection.fromitem(source_search) new_view = source_flc.manager.create_view(name="unid_all_around_view") Source-Service layer ids:   View layer ids: When the view is opened in the map viewer, the layers are messed up. The Route line layer has become a point layer and one of the point layers (the one with the very long name!) has become a line. A complete mess. This happens consistently, on more than one platform. It does not happen when views are created manually. Also, create_view works fine when the layers are ordered sequentially 0 to N, top-down. ... View more

If the uniques in the layer of a service are not arranged from 0 to N, top to bottom, the result of 'create_view' will be unusable. I ran this code on a service with non-sequential ids: source_search = gis.content.search("test_20240608_unique_ids_assigned_all_around")[0] source_flc = FeatureLayerCollection.fromitem(source_search) new_view = source_flc.manager.create_view(name="unid_all_around_view") Layer order in service: Layer order in view created by above script:   The view, when opened in the map viewer. The route, which is a line, has become a point layer. Activity 11016565550 GPXtoFeatures has become a line feature. A complete mess.   This only happens with 'create_view' in ArcGIS API for Python (in a notebook). If I make the view manually, this does not happen. create_view DOES work correctly when the order of layer ids in the service is 0,1,2... top-down. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a bug? I have reproduced this on several platforms. ArcGIS API for Python cannot make a view from a service with non-sequential layer ids. ... View more

I have created a hub site, with just a few products I have created for recreational purposes. I (and anyone else I send links to) can access the links in these products, but they never show up on Google searches, not at all, not even at the very the end of the list. They are shared publicly, and I have given them tags. I have entered the tags in search engines to no avail. Is there some really obvious thing I'm missing to make content discoverable?

I have selected a balloon callout but the leading pointer won't materialize. How do I get it to show up?  Thank you,   Randy McGregor   ... View more

I am trying list services from an ArcGIS Server site with arcgis api for python and all capabilities for listing server information seem to be designed to go through Portals. Is it possible to access an arcgis server site that is federated with an AGOL list or that is not federated (standalone)? Thank you, Randy McGregor ... View more

I have  a simple python script that updates a scene bookmark for each of 50 map series map bookmarks and exports a layout. I run it for each of 50 map series bookmarks.  It works fine, but some of the outputs are missing features and I need to redo them. I'm guessing it's going "too fast" and some of the layouts are exporting before the layout has fully drawn all the features. Is there a way to slow it down, or tell it to wait till everything's drawn fully before it exports? Thank you, Randy McGregor   # # Export map series and update scene bookmarks. # import arcpy, os, sys, time out_folder = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("CURRENT") l = p.listLayouts()[0] # # Get the scene: # for m in p.listMaps(): if m.mapType == 'SCENE': s = m break # # Get the scene frame: # for mf in l.listElements('MAPFRAME_ELEMENT'): if mf.camera.mode != "MAP": sf = mf break # # Run the map series: # if not l.mapSeries is None: ms = l.mapSeries if ms.enabled: for pageNum in range(1, ms.pageCount + 1): ms.currentPageNumber = pageNum time.sleep(5) pageName = ms.pageRow.STATE_NAME arcpy.AddMessage("> "+pageName+"...") arcpy.AddMessage("> "+str(pageNum)) # # Find the corresponding scene bookmark: # for bk in s.listBookmarks(): if bk.name == pageName: arcpy.AddMessage("> Zooming to bookmark: "+bk.name+"...") sf.zoomToBookmark(bk) arcpy.AddMessage(out_folder+"\\Election_2020_"+pageName+".pdf") l.exportToPDF(out_folder+"\\Election_2020_"+pageName+".pdf")     ...

The inset map option scene app seems very handy, but is there a way to set the initial extent? I can't tell how the inset map is deciding on the initial view, but it's not the web map initial view.    ... View more
