Hi James and @Ismael , Two years on from this, is there a story regarding multiple editors of a survey?  Does the Shared Update Group actually work? Both Devin and Ahjung report that it does not.  Are there any plans? Thanks, Nathan ... View more

Uma Harano That response you linked to says that retrieving / setting metadata on a layer is not supported (or was not at the time).  Is this still the case?  For example, I would like to retrieve the thumbnail from a layer file... is this possible (outside of manually opening the xml myself)? ...

Hey Craig, Thanks for getting back to me.  I'd actually be happy with either the JSON or XML schemas for the CIM.  There are tools that can get you a long way from sample xml/json files but I know that I'll never be able to provide a fully complete sample to these tools and thus never have full confidence in what comes out the other side.

Hey Craig, It would be REALLY sweet if you released the xsd document for the various xml files found in the unzipped APRX. Any chance of that? Nathan Warmerdam ... View more

Detailed Object Model Diagrams for 10.0 can be found here: http://thiiink.wordpress.com/2012/10/24/object-model-diagrams-for-classes-in-esri-arcpy-version-10-sp5/ and for 10.1: http://thiiink.wordpress.com/2012/10/24/object-model-diagrams-for-classes-in-esri-arcpy-version-10-1/ enjoy! ...

For the most part you can actually do this already.  Any result in the results window can be dragged and droped into an open model builder window.  Connecting the processes together is still left to the user. ... View more

I would also like to see this implemented in ArcGIS Desktop.  An excellent idea. ... View more

Your friend fired up gdal and wrote a script.  You could have just as easily fired up a script and written some python.  I think its clear given the development goals for 10.1 that, at least in terms of python, there has been a great deal of focus on performance. ... View more

if we get enough votes on the idea, perhaps they'll create it and release it online: http://ideas.arcgis.com/ideaView?id=087300000008EIeAAM ... View more

I understand that it has gotten larger.  However, I figure if it can be done for arcobjects then it can be done for scripting too.  I'm not picturing a single giant diagram, I'm picturing three or four different diagrams (at the very least separate out the mapping, spatial, and geostat modules). I also know that they have said there won't be one, but isn't this what this ideas site is all about, advocating for things that aren't in the software but we users feel should be?  🙂 ... View more

 Hey Bruce, Thanks for the tip, that looks useful but I think you need to spruce up the doc a little bit.  What methodology is used?  The second usage tip implies that there are some limitations.  A bit more discussion would be helpful. So what should I expect in the geoprocessing gallery?  Cool script tool that works at 9.3??  🙂 Nathan ... View more
