Good morning, We are beginning to work out using Attribute Assistant in 10.2/10.3 and have been having some issues. Hopefully there are others that have solved these and can provide some input on how to clear things up a bit. I know there are a lot of users that really have had success using the Attribute Assistant. The {Option} portion of the Generate_ID method does not seem to be working... My table uses the Generate_ID for generating a FacilityID for the LGIM so my tables and fields look like the following: GenerateID Table OBJECTID Sequence Name Sequence Counter Interval Value Comments 1 FACGENID 1 1 Generates a Facility ID number incrementing at 1 DynamicValue Table OBJECTID Table Name Field Name Value Method Value Info On Create On Change (Attribute) On Change (Geometry) Manual Only Rule Weight Comments 1 FacilitySitePoint FacilityID Generate_ID FACGENID|6|[seq] True False False False 1 This method does work and will successfully generate an ID value but also regenerates if a user mistakenly selects a feature that already has an ID. If I use the option and input the Value Info field as FACGENID|6|[seq]|True and the values in the table are <Null> the Attribute Assistant does not generate a value. If I change the field to FACGENID|6|[seq]|False, it also does not generate a value. I have purposefully left out the additional ID information for simplicity to test the generation of values using this tool. I did have to import and modify the two tables from the Address Data Management template as I was missing the domains from the tables when I pulled them in empty from the Attribute Assistant download. One thing we have been looking at is if we can add the Generate_ID command into an Expression method. Does anyone know if this is possible? The reason being we are trying to keep a portion of our primary keys smart in that it collects the value from the SUBTYPEFIELD for the facilities and populates those down. It will also give us a basis to move expressions across into some of our other features like RoadCenterline and AddressPoint. Thanks, Justin West ... View more

Good morning, I am working with the FacilitySitePoint feature and want to set up the relationship classes to help populate the break-out datasets for my public safety features. Looking at the relationship classes provided with the data model there is only one table and one relationship feature class that is created that appears to map to the SUBTYPEFIELD and the FEATURECODE. Has anyone had any success building out the relationships with the FACILITYID and getting the tables to populate appropriately? Thanks, Justin ... View more

Good morning everyone,   I am working with some DDP layouts and need to add a text note on one page but not have it appear on any others. I see that a lot of people are using Python to script attribute tables into their pages but mine is not a part of a layer or feature. Is there a way to do this?   Thanks,   Justin ... View more

Good morning, I have been having some issues with a field calculation to redefine my X, Y values from a table import. I have a script saved but it is not working for me anymore and I keep getting the ERROR 000539: SyntaxError: invalid syntax (<expression>, line 1). I am running Arc 10.1 I have fields named X and Y. I begin editing select my Shape* field and select Field Calculator. Create my Python script in the codeblock. def movePoint(shape,X,Y): point = shape.getPart(0) point.X = X point.Y = Y return point SHAPE = movePoint( !SHAPE!, !X!, !Y! ) Normally this was working for me but I have only been getting errors trying to run it on this dataset. Thanks in advance. ... View more

I am trying to create polygons from polylines on a large dataset and retain the attributes. I looked in the ArcGIS help and it says that the "Preserve Attributes" option is no longer functional. Is there a workaround for this? ... View more
