I would love to be able to 'pin' my favourite mxds to the quick/recently used list, so that even if you open 30 .mxd's, your favourites won't be  pushed off the list. You can do this in Microsoft word and excel already and I use it a lot. ... View more

Having finally changed all of our old MapBook projects to data driven pages, we have come across a problem when using the scale field to change the scale of a given page. The scale bar, which at 1:10,000 has divisions of 500m, suddenly looks ridiculous on the handful of pages that are 1:25,000. It was very disappointing to not be able to just go "File --> Export" for the whole set of maps. We still have to manually adjust the map elements for some pages. We can't be having divisions of "623m" or having the number text all on top of each other  - This is what happens if you set it to "Adjust division value" or "Adjust number of divisions" now. We need some sort of Data-Driven Element choice so that we can set Scale Bar (A) for scales of 1:10,000 and Scale Bar (B) for 1:25,000 etc. ... View more

hi all, I'm just starting out in scripting and appreicate any help that I can get with this. I am trying to build a simple tool that will take text from two text boxes, enter them into an SQL query and hence select attributes from a "Cadastre - Parcels" Layer in my .mxd The code I've written so far is this: Private Sub GoButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles GoButton.Click         Dim pMXDoc As ESRI.ArcGIS.ArcMapUI.IMxDocument         pMXDoc = My.ArcMap.Document         Dim pMap As ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto.IMap         pMap = pMXDoc.FocusMap         Dim pFeatureLayer As ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto.IFeatureLayer         Dim pActiveView As ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto.IActiveView         pActiveView = pMap         Dim pFeatureSelection As ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto.IFeatureSelection         Dim LayerName As String         LayerName = "Cadastre - Parcels"         For i = 0 To pMap.LayerCount - 1             If UCase(pMap.Layer(i).Name.Trim()) = UCase(LayerName.Trim()) Then                 pFeatureLayer = pMap.Layer(i)                 Exit For             End If         Next         'Get attributes from the textboxes         Dim AttPlanNumber As String         Dim AttLotNumber As String         Dim SearchStatement As String         AttPlanNumber = txtDPNumber.Text         AttLotNumber = txtLotNumber.Text         pFeatureSelection = pFeatureLayer         Dim filter As New ESRI.ArcGIS.Geodatabase.QueryFilterClass()         SearchStatement = "PLANNO = '" & AttPlanNumber & "' & LOTNO = '" & AttLotNumber & "'"         filter.WhereClause = SearchStatement         pActiveView.PartialRefresh(ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto.esriViewDrawPhase.esriViewGeoSelection, Nothing, Nothing)         pFeatureSelection.SelectFeatures(filter, ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto.esriSelectionResultEnum.esriSelectionResultNew, False) End Sub unfortunately, when I run the tool I get this: pFeatureSelection.SelectFeatures(filter, ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto.esriSelectionResultEnum.esriSelectionResultNew, False) -----Check the ErrorCode property of the exception to determine the HRESULT returned by the COM Object. Where am I going wrong? Thanks, Lauren ... View more

Hi All, I was hoping that someone else has run across this problem OR that someone out there can test it and see if they come across the same issue. I have a 1000mx1000m grid in GDA94, MGA zone 56. I wanted to re-project it into AGD66 AMG Zone 56 so that I could georeference an old topographic map. Using the Project tool in Arcmap, using any of the provided AGD66 to GDA94 transformations, produced a grid that was shifted the correct distance, but south west instead of North east! Any comments or similar findings would be welcome. (If this is a real bug I will report it to ESRI) ... View more
