When the topology error inspector reports errors it should include the size of the error for both line and area errors. It is already displaying the line/polygon. This would allow for better differentation of the type of error as well as its magnitude. For example: Errors from a "Must Not Overlap" rule may return 1789 errors, 1769 are less than 1 square foot and and 20 are more substantial. There is no simple way, short of visiting each error, to find those 20 substantial errors.

It would be very helpful if ArcGIS licenses were inclusive. In other words each license level should allow you to check out the same number of licenses at that level or any lower level. For example: Company A has purchased 10 ArcGIS Advanced licenses. Users should be able to check out any combination of ArcGIS Basic, ArcGIS Standard, or ArcGIS Advanced licenses that total no more than 10. 0 basic, 0 standard, 10 advanced 1 basic, 3 standard, 6 advanced etc. Some people are probably wondering who would someone want to deliberately limit themselves to a functional level less than what they've purchased, primarily developers. Currently if you have a need to test for a license level, say basic, you would need to purchase a basic license, for standard, you need a standard license, etc. If you have already purchased an advanced license, you should be able to consume that license at all three levels. The current situation forces you to; 1. Purchase three separate ArcGIS licenses to test your add-In/extension/application. 2. Forgo development for certain license levels. 3. Develop for all license levels, don't test, pray that it works.

Using ArcMap 10 sp1, I've set a default geodatabase associated with the MXD document that I am working in. Unfortunately, some of the tools, such as the Feature to Polygon tool, insist on ignoring the default geodatabase that I've set and instead default to "Default Geodatabase" located C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\My Documents\ArcGIS\Default.gdb. Anyone know how to fix this? It defeats the point of setting a default geodatabase if tools from the tool box ignore it.

aurorageomatics, It's nice to know that functionality exists should we want to revert back to ArcMap 9.x style editing. Unfortunately it doesn't answer the initial question. 90+% of the time I am in an editing session I am _not_ creating new features. Perhaps ESRI will allow us more control if the editing environment in 10.1......

Does anyone know how to prevent the Create Feature Dialog from automatically opening ever time you start an edit session in ArcMap 10?

Angelo, SDE 9.3 sp1 under Oracle 10.2.0.3, three interim patches (6756089, 5556081, 5557962) under Solaris 10. We are using SDE.ST_GEOMETRY for the shape column. Can you point me to the page that contains the superset of error codes? Thanks again for the help,

Angelo, I don't have SDE installed on this local machine (perhaps I should look for docs on the install disk?), but searching on ESRI's support site is a hit or miss affair that only returns anything if someone else has posted something looking for answers on the same or similar codes. Often without an authoritative reply. I've found the sdeerno.h file which explains _some_ of them. ex: db_array_fetch_spix_recs OCI Fetch Error (936) db_array_fetch_spix_recs OCI Fetch Error (907) db_array_fetch_attrs OCI Fetch Error (904) I am assuming that there was an error in the "db_array_fetch_spix_recs" or "db_array_fetch_attrs" (i.e. that there was an error in a database array either fetching spix records or fetching attributes), that it was an "OCI Fetch Error" and that the number 936, 907, 904 is the type of "OCI Fetch Error" that occurred. What exactly _is_ an "OCI Fetch Error" and what the numbers mean, I can't seem to find. We are still on ArcSDE 9.3 and the link you provided was to 10.0, is there a similar link to 9.3? Thanks again.

We've been having intermittent issues with our ESRI SDE / Oracle setup. Going through the giomgr and sde logs I am seeing various errors. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a listing of what these error codes mean. Is there a key or dictionary that lists all the SDE error codes and their meanings? This would be very helpful. Thanks, rick.

I've been trying to display a modeless form with the parent ArcMap form as the parent. This code works, but only the first time. IntPtr pPtr = new IntPtr(_application.hWnd); _parentWindow = (System.Windows.Forms.Form)System.Windows.Forms.Form.FromHandle(pPtr); this.Show(_parentWindow); Where _application is a valid reference to the current IApplication ArcMap object If I close the dialog box and try to open it a second time, _parentWindow is always null. Even though _application.hWnd > 0. Is there any reason why this only works once? How can I create a modeless dialog in ArcMap (C#) that the user can open and close and will always have ArcMap as the parent? Thanks, rick.
