Hi Don, I've just been trying out the Feature Linked Labelling commands. Is it possible to label features by subtype (i.e. layer as it appears in AutoCAD) or a query, rather than creating labels for all the features in a feature class at the same time? Thanks, Karl ... View more

Hi Matthew, The reason you are not seeing all your features in AutoCAD is because when the "QueryFeatureData" error occurs it stops the synchronization process dead in its tracks. You only get the features that have loaded up to that point. You may find this thread useful: �??Error in QueryFeatureData�?� , Regarding geometry, I have had many issues with true curves, especially ellipses. You may find this thread useful: https://community.esri.com/message/58702#58702 I'm still struggling with both issues today. Karl ... View more

Hello, Will there be any future development of ArcGIS Diagrammer? I notice that ESRI are now recommending that people use Sparx Systems' Enterprise Architect for geodatabase design. We recommend using Sparx Systems' Enterprise Architect for users interested in geodatabase design with UML as it offers many advantages over the ArcGIS CASE tools functionality. Enterprise Architect uses Geodatabase XML and the XML import\export functionality for the creation of geodatabases based on a UML design. Because of this, many of the limitations that existed with previous UML modeling solutions and CASE tools are not present in Enterprise Architect. ... View more

OK. Is there a way of establishing a consistent, common working area between the two interfaces so that you don't have to keep jumping around the folder structure for different tasks (e.g. add data, save map, export data, export map, etc.)? ... View more

I'd love to just be able copy a row from a table back into the same table. Why's it so hard? ... View more

Thanks for your reply Michelle, Core does have a tool that you can use to choose which edit to keep, Version Changes command. Unfortunately the Version Changes tool is severely limited. You can only use it to look at the changes between versions, but you can't use it to actually review them, i.e. accept, reject or amend the changes. When the Version Changes tool is run, results are presented in a window with separate maps that don�??t link to the main map display. If you need to change something, you need to find and re-select it in the main map display and edit it there. This is very cumbersome workflow. There is also no way of rejecting a delete that's been saved in an edit version, other than copying it back in again from the target version manually. If you edit a feature in one version, and delete it in the other, the Conflicts dialog will let you choose which version to keep. So the mechanism effectively already exists to intervene and stop a feature being deleted, it just needs to be extended to cover non-conflict changes. The logical place to put this would be in the Version Changes tool, or to merge the functionality of Version Changes and Conflicts together. There's an ArcGIS Idea here along these lines: http://ideas.arcgis.com/ideaView?id=08730000000btEUAAY ... View more

It would be great to be able to review non-conflict changes and accept/reject/amend them as required. The current Version Changes tool is very limited in its functionality. It will show you all the changes, but not let you actually do anything. The Version Differences tool in the Data Reviewer extension is slightly better, as it allows you to browse through the differences and make amendments directly to the affected features in the main map view. However if an individual feature has been incorrectly deleted, there's no way of resurrecting it.
