You can also use modelbuilder to iterate through all the FC's in the FGDB that is then passed on to Recalculate FeatureClassExtent. ... View more

Thanks Rebecca. Much appreciated. Cheers, Mike ... View more

Thanks Rebecca Strauch, I have a batch file set up to run just that in task scheduler triggered every hour and appending to an output text file. I would like however, to have a quick GUI license query tool which I suppose is what "WhereHaveAllTheLicensesGone" is supposed to be. Cheers, Mike ... View more

Hi Alex, Can you give me a link where I can get this one by Julie. It does not seem to be available anywhere. Cheers, Mike ... View more

This one works for me http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=a9b032f739254ebeb6221c9294ebc886 There's a version for 10.2 but I don't have a link for it. Cheers! Mike ... View more

1. Use the CON tool so that only those elevation that fits your criteria will be included in the output. = map1 2. using map1, use the SLOPE tool. = map2 3. using map2, use the CON tool again to select only those that are > 18%. = map3 4. convert map3 to a polygon (RASTER to POLYGON Tool) and select only those that are >= 5 ha. ...

You can use the Set Null (spatial analyst) tool to define areas of "no data". You should do the no data/NULL ing only after you've created both the bathymetry and /terrain DEM rasters. your outputs should all be rasters not shapefiles. You could also merge the bathymetry and terrain DEM rasters but it will be a pain getting the symbology/color ramp to work right. Keeping them separate and just using no color for NULL/no data pixels will be easier by displaying them at the same time but with their own separate color ramps. I would also probably include the lake shoreline as an outline with no FILL color (as a shapefile if you want) so you can give it a distinctive color/width that will allow you to highlight it against the terrain /bathymetry. ...

You could also create 2 sets of "DEM's" one for the land part with an appropriate color scheme for land areas and with the lake areas masked out and converted to NODATA. The second "DEM" (bathymetry) for the lake part also with an appropriate color scheme and with the land areas masked out and converted to NODATA. You would have to make sure though that your lake bathymetry data is using the same datum as your land areas (as in reality the lake shoreline may not be 0m or 0 elevation) and that they are of the same pixel sizes and pixel position so that a snap raster is very useful when you create them. When you load them both into Arcmap (doesn't really matter which one is on top), just make sure to set the symbology for both nodata areas in each DEM as no color. ... View more

A mosaic dataset​ comes into mind. Then build your overviews​. Or if you want to build a single raster dataset then Mosaic to New Raster​ is an option. ... View more

Would an attribute join not work? You may have to clean up County_Nm in your density worksheet (before you bring it into ArcMap) to fit the expected names in instName in your Forest Ownership by County table. It looks like it is going to be a 1 to many join so maybe using the tool Make Query Table (ArcGIS Help) could also be helpful. If you want to do it in excel you can use good old MS Query (Use Microsoft Query to retrieve external data - Excel)​. But you would still need to clean up County_Nm. You just need to bring in the two tables separately and then do the join. As you intend to make a map later on, doing it in ArcMap is probably best. ... View more

If you create a mosaic dataset, the resulting attribute table of the footprints can help you figure out the naming convention used by the software you used to generate the rasters. You can use it to select which rasters can make up your intermediate mosaics. ... View more

I was in a similar situation a while back when mosaic datasets were but a dream. As Dan Patterson suggested, your best bet is using it as all the raster and spatial analyst (map algebra, etc) geoprocessing tools (maybe some others) support it. Besides, you'd also probably want to keep your original 1080 tiles and what better way to keep them than in its native format plus you need not use up additional space for your mosaic. A few things I've learned.... large jobs like this run faster on local hard drives than from the network particlularly if your working files are in another physical hard drive other than your system files (where your temp files/virtual memory files are written). this is true even for mosaic datasets..... if you set priority to high (right click on the ArcMap.exe*32 in the Processes tab of windows task manager) or Realtime (if you are more daring) it will complete faster.... there are of course, some risks.... If you insist on creating a single mosaic, I also found that mosaicking small batches of adjacent tiles as an intermediate mosaic then eventually mosaicking the intermediates worked out faster (albeit with a bit more human intervention) than mosaicking all of the tiles at one time... ...
