When viewing a map, click Add>Add Map Notes. This creates a layer that you can add simple features to. OMG, Mike, you are my life saver. Thanks! I thought I was going crazy not finding this feature. It's not intuitive at all... ... View more

Hi All, Back to the AGOL Terms of use. Say, a legit client digitizes buildings upon AGOL basemaps and carries out verctor layer with building polygons. Question: Are the free to distribute their polygon layer as they will or is this illegal? I know for fact, that if they were to place dots on the map each representing a building location it would be okay to re-distribute them after. Nevertheless, I'm not 100% sure if the same applies to polygons (or lines for that matter in case of digitizing streets...) Thanks in advance! Max ... View more

...where it can get into violating the terms of use is when headless accounts are created and shared between individuals. Documentation on licensing and terms of use can be found here: http://www.esri.com/legal/software-license Hi Andrew, Thanks for the prompt response. Well, I guess I'd ask you to elaborate on the above a bit. In particular, what is considered a "headless account"? For instance, if my client buys an AGOL subscription for 5 named-users, and provides 1 or 2 of those to their end-user (from another organization, who do not have an AGOL subscription themselves), in order for the latter to see the results of the analysis and maps that have been created. In other words, two organizations will be using single AGOL subscription - will this be a violation? As for the legal documentation, would you be able to point to a particular section pertaining to AGOL usage? Thanks, Max ... View more

Do you know if this is still the case? Is there documentation of this somewhere? Hi Sarah, While I couldn't find any formal documentation on this either, the aforementioned notion still holds true, i.e. only the Owner or Admin can export features from AGOL hosted feature service.

One of the users has experienced an issue where the City Engine 2012.1 was looking for the 'esriLincense.config' file under his roaming user profile (i.e. \\<server>\<profile>\esriLicense.config) - while the file was actually present under the local user profile on C:\. The user is on Win7 64-bit with ArcGIS Desktop 10.1 installed. Could anyone please confirm if the aforementioned patch only fixes the City Engine 2012 authorization issues pertaining to the cases where the ArcGIS 10.0 is installed OR could be used with the 10.1 present on the system, as well? Thanks, Max ... View more

Nevermind my previous post - I've figured out what the problem was. Essentially, my multipatch was in the UTM projection based on the NAD27 datum, while the surface was based on the NAD83 datum. I've re-projected the original multipatch to NAD83 UTM Zone 18N, added it to the ArcScene, applied the base-heights from the surface, and re-ran the Layer 3D to Feature Class tool - the resulting output multipatch retained the raster surface elevation values within it. Issue solved, thanks for your help! Max ... View more

Hi Prasanta, Thanks for the advise. However, when I ran the tool and added the resulting multipatch in my ArcScene, I've noticed two issues: 1) There were no elevation values associated with the new multipatch, unlike we were expecting - it was flat; 2) I couldn't even apply my raster surface elevation values to the newly created multipatch - it stays flat, and doesn't want to "float" on the surface no matter what I do. Any thoughts on why this is happening? Any other workarounds to try for my original question? Thanks, Max ... View more

Interesting idea. As of now, I think the "workaround" for such cases is to publish the model as a geoprocessing service through the ArcGIS Server - it that case anyone would be able to utilize it despite the license level they are at (it obviously does require ArcGIS Server license and associated infrastructure)   ...

Thanks for the response, David. The reason I brought up this question in the first place, was that one of our clients was having an issue where the aforementioned selection lines would appear differently on one workstation (Windows 7). I.e. instead of a dashed line, she would see a solid thick line, and therefore wanted to change that. At the same time, the client was saying that in the past she had seen similar issue before and was able to change the appearance. At the end, it turned out that it was not something you change within ArcGIS, but rather a result of Windows setting: 1) Right-click on the desktop and select �??Screen Resolution�?� 2) Select the �??Make text and other items larger or smaller�?� 3) Settings other than default (i.e. 100%) will make dashed lines to appear as a solid line. Other than that, David was right - there is no way to control element selection line appearance. So I'll follow the suggestion and post a note on Esri Ideas web-site. Thanks, Max ... View more
