UTF-8 codepage and field length in attribute table

As you probably know, since version 10.2.1 when a shapefile is created, a .cpg accompanies it with a UTF-8 configuration.
Because of this, when a new field in the attribute table is created, it requires the double length when inserting non-latin characters in relation to the normal length when inserting latin characters.
I will give an example to make it understantable:
I create a shapefile.
I edit the shapefile and add a feature.
I open the attributes table and create a new field.
I select type as text and on the length I select 2.
In the field, I try to add 2 greek characters (i.e.: "ΔΕ").
The result is that the field understands only the first character (i.e.: "Δ").
Is there a way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
:)

I have a custom button which is made using python add-in.

I add this button in arcgis desktop and assign a new shortcut key for this button.

The problem is this button should be used while table of attributes is active.
But shortcut key only works when main acrmap window is active.

Is there any way to assign shortcut keys for custom buttons and make them work while table of atributes is active?

Hi,
Is there some way to apply the color rendering - "Hard light" that exist on Quantum GIS and Global Mapper, on ArcMap?

Ontario, Canada shapefiles projecting in the Mediterranean Sea (ArcMap)

Hello,

I am having a problem with purchased Ontario Base Mapping purchased from First Base Solutions projecting into ArcMap.

I began using the Mac-based GIS software called Cartographica to handle our purchased mapping. This mapping is required for a landscape architectural project located in Peterborough, Ontario. The files came without any projection assigned to them. I have attempted to set the map projection to WGS 84 and NAD 1983_UTM_Zone_18N. While the layers of the map align perfectly, the coordinates are way off.

I zipped the shape files and imported into ArcGIS online. The mapping appears in Vermont. We sent our shape files to a GIS expert, who informed us that when they imported our files into ArcMap, the map lined up exactly where it should be. He did not assign any projection or coordinate system to the shape files- he left them unprojected. See image for his result.

I downloaded a trial version of ArcGIS for Desktop. I imported the exact same shape files and added the topographic map as a base layer, and our files line up in the Mediterranean Sea. The layers are still currently unprojected.

Might anyone know exactly what I am doing wrong here? I would greatly appreciate any advice or assistance.

Thank you and hope to talk to you soon,
Katie

In Data View I enlarged the size of the line that marks a boundary, thus making the boundary line very thick. I also have points that are labeled. In the Layout View, the the line does not appear any thicker than its starting view and the points and labels in the map don't appear at all. Why is Layout View not showing all of the features the same as Data View?

Hi,

All of my Add-Ins in ArcGIS Desktop (10.2.2) have changed to [Missing] and none of them work. These are 6 different Add-Ins from different sources (including Esri). Most of these are Add-Ins I've been using for a couple of years, nothing has changed on my system. In fact I've been using these tools today, closed ArcMap and re-opened and they were gone. Another ArcMap session that was still open with those add-ins working, but no more as I just restarted my PC to see if that would fix it...

Any ideas what would make all my Add-Ins suddenly change from working and with correct icons to be not working and all with red [Missing] icons? How do I fix it? I have tried renaming my Add-Ins folder and my AppData Esri folder, however this hasn't made any difference.

I'm stumped. A couple of these add-ins are required for me to do my everyday work :(

Thanks,
Mike.

Hi,

According to the help/manual the SelectLayerByAttribute_management should limit the results to the specified extent - I can't get this to work!

My little test case, in ArcMap 10.2, where I add cntry08.sdc from the ESRI Data and Maps collection, the following in the Python pane:

• arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management("cntry08","selLayer")
• env.extent = "-30 -30 30 30"
• arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management("selLayer","NEW_SELECTION",'"ISO_2DIGIT" <>\'\'')

(This selects all features in the entire feature class)

I get the same result when I specify the extent in the Geoprocessing tab, and when I run the tool from the toolbox, or from the Selection menu.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug... ?

I know there has been previous discussion regarding error 99999 for ArcGIS 10.2 Geotagged photos to points tool, but was there a patch fix for this other than installing 10.2.1 (which our university does not yet have?)

Also getting empty tables when attempting to use the match photos to Rows by Time.

ArcPhoto and the phython scripts are too hard for what should be something freely available and easy to use (I work with student volunteers, so need a push and play option).

Thanks

Hi,

I have multi-layered dash line symbol not drawing properly, as shown attached.

To me, it seems like ArcMap is not able to draw nice dashed line when there is too many vertex in the feature (as you can see with the green squares in the screenshots). The same happens with dotted lines.

Is there any way to improve that? I mean getting decent dashed lines?

For the time being, it is not acceptable.

Thanks

Hi All,

I've used add XY data before, but not had this problem. Excel Lat Long data was put in an Access database, exported as a dB file (so to fix the data as double float) and then added in Arcmap. Display XY data was set, but only some of the points (albeit in the right locations) are shown. However, when the samples not shown are "Flashed", ArcMap flashes the right location, even though there is no dot. Exporting the data as a new shapefile doesn't solve the proble - it acts just as before.

Any ideas? All help very welcome!

Cheers,
Alex

I have tried these conversion tools and everything seems as if it is working until I check the destination for the new kmz and it is empty. There are no error messages when I click "ok" in the conversion tool to complete the process, I just get the hourglass icon on my cursor for several seconds and then nothing. I have followed the steps from the help window and tried googling for an answer with no luck. Can anyone help me figure out what I am doing wrong?

I would like to calculate the distance from a point to a polyline. I have ArcMap10.2 basic. I know the near tool and the proximity tool would work great but I don't have that available to me is their any other way to do this like using GeoTools or X Tools.

Hi All,

I've seen several examples on using dynamic text to display coordinates for a data frame's center, corners, etc. in geographic coordinates. What I'm also looking for is a way to use dynamic text to display a data frame's center point in MGRS coordinates. Right now my DF is in UTM WGS84 Zone 18 North, and the available methods that I'm aware of only give me the center point in DMS.

Appreciate any help, thanks!

I'm an ArcGIS newbie so please bear with me. I have a shapefile of bike lanes in a particular city (polylines). I have another shapefile with bike accidents in that same city (points). This seems like it should be simple, but I can't figure out how to get a count of how many of those accident points are intersected by (or in other words, lie on top of) a bike lane polyline. As well, in the bike lane attribute table there is a field for bike lane type (route, lane, path) and I'd like to break down the count by those types (ie see separately how many accidents intersect with a bike route, with a bike lane, etc). If that complicates things then I can just create a different shape file for each type, and run the counts separately. My main question is: how do I get a count of the number of points that are intersected by polylines? I've tried using the 'Tabulate Intersection' tool but all my returns have been empty. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi all,
How to create multiple values in one field attribute table?
I'm using arcGIS 10.1, which have a trouble for discribe how to create multiple values (from another feature class) in one field attribute table?
for the case, see below or attachment file:
Attachment 33746
Now, I have a gate valve with object ID is 98, i want to describe that gate valve contains 3 or more pipe id from another feature class, 3178, 3148, 3141, etc. So, how i describe it to that table? i have tried to create it manually but doesn't work.

Hi,

I am trying to create report by using ArcGIS 10.2. While creating report there is a option for grouping of values for selected fields. The default option for grouping for date field are (Year, Quarter, Month, Week, Day, Hour, Minute). whether it is possible for grouping for date field by range of years (ex: like 1980-1990 , 1990-2000, 2000-2010 etc)

Thanks and Regards

I have a point data set with matching pairs where there is an origination point and a destination point. Each pair has a common ID (there are two number 1's, two number 2's, etc...) I would like to have ArcGIS draw a line between each set of points with a common ID. Sounds easy enough, but I can't figure out how to do it. I thought that the Points to Line tool would work, but it keeps failing and I'm not sure why. Any suggestions?

To generate a street index, we have a reference grid added to a layout data frame (used the grid wizard in 9.3.1) with row and column attributes (A-1, D-4 etc).

Now we need to create a shapefile of polygons having the same attributes (extent and table info) which we can use in Data View.

Any suggestions?
