I see. This requires coding to work with the shapefile, or conversion of coordinates or attribute table to a text file for application of geometry formulas SIN and COS in a spreadsheet or database. Sorry I can't provide a better solution, James_Blythe

James_Blythe It seems like COGO tools may provide what you need. However, is the shift distance and azimuth actually a direction / distance that traces a path using the points as a connected line, or are they completely unique, with no real relation to each other in their locations, and not a distance and bearing? A sample would be useful if that is something that you can provide. Regards

As painful as it might be, the first item in the list is to uninstall and re-install the software. Sorry.

Yes, it should not be an issue. NOTE: You should create a new field and calculate it based off of the original, so if there are any problems, you still have access to the original source field and values.

Ibuava, The result of this operation will be a string. Numeric values do not have "dots" in them. Within python, as a string, you can use a simple string slice and append function, such as: oldNum = str(1234567890) newNum = oldNum[:2] + "." + oldNum[2:4] + "." + oldNum[4:7] +"." + oldNum[7:] newNum '12.34.567.890' This assumes the oldNum is 10 characters in each entry. If it is not always10 characters, work from the end of the string value to the front, instead. If you are trying to do something else, please provide more information so you can get a targeted response to your question. Regards, Jim

KenBuja - excellent call. I agree with you.

SoratoMarques, This is a standard function that has an arcpy sample as part of the help about this function. Do you have the spatial analyst or 3D analyst extension? One of these is necessary for access to the tool. If none of this helps you solve this issue, what is the error or problem with the methodology? Regards, - Jim

A little information? Are you exporting or printing to PDF? What size is your layout, 8.5x11 11x17 etc What are your settings under the export options in the General and Format tabs?

KenBuja is correct. A little clarification, though. You can put anything you wish into an attribute table, including coordinate system x,y but the actual geometry is stored in the shapefile with no regard to the values in the attributes. So, if you reproject your data, nothing in the attribute table will change, as you have seen. As an aside, there is a tool under Data Magement that will calculate and add the xy values in new columns in the attribute table, if that is more comfortable for you.

This sounds exactly like a projection issue, CoreyMacIssac1. Try adding your polygon shapefile to a new, empty map, and see how it displays. If it appears as expected, this verifies my assumption that it is projection related. If this does not provide the information you need, post your shapefile, and perhaps I or someone else can provide a better response. Regards

This is a matter of personal preference. Personally, I would place it in the legend as "AP (Airport)" If the resulting legend becomes too big, I would add a notes text item such as "Notes: AP = Airport" and any other abbreviations you need to explain. Regards

RickCheney, You can use the union tool for this. Add an attribute column to each shapefile, and populate it with a unique attribute like "Water" for your water shapefile and "Background" for the other. Run the union and leave the "JoinAttributes" option as "ALL". Then use a definition query such as "(your column name)" <> 'Water'. This will give you your background with the water polygons punched out. Regards

You need to choose a feature attribute hierarchy. What you create with overlay analysis requires this as a follow up process, as it will return the overlap as a separate polygon. If you can not create a hierarchy, then run a union analysis, and display the overlap as a different symbology to indicate your area of uncertainty. Regards.

I am not certain I fully understand your needs. I have created a copy of a feature class in the map, set my symbology to reflect what I want in the legend, set a definition query to FID = -9999 (which returns no features). Then I used that item in the legend instead of the more complex feature class. This allows you to customize the symbology and text in the legend, independent of the actual feature class symbology and text used in the display.

RhettZufelt has provided the correct answer. If you are still having issues, be aware that having the excel file open in Excel puts a lock on the file and prevents ArcMap from interacting with it. In addition, another instance of ArcMap that is open and points to the Excel file will put a lock on it, preventing interaction with it. Closing these links should enable access to the Excel file.
