Hi all, I am upgrading a 10.2 addin to 10.8.1 (VB.NET, VS 2019) and receive several "BC30002: Type '<typename>' is not defined"- errors. They are mostly related to ESRI.ArcGIS.Desktop.AddIns, but also to Carto, Framework, ArcMapUI or Editor. All references are set with a valid path. I compared all settings to an structurally identical addin I had converted earlier that references the same libraries and runs fine but see no code or settings differences. I m quite at a loss so any ideas are appreciated! Axel     ... View more

Hi, is there an equivalent to the "Find tool" in ArcMap using arcpy? The find tool is way faster when searching over multiple layers than any code I can come up with... Any ideas?     ... View more

I am editing metadata via a VB.NET Addin. Update information comes from ASCII files and I am and looking for a way to insert new lines. In this simple example the ASCII text provided might look like: "Administrator: Person A"  Using the IXmlPropertySet2 interfacemy code looks something like this: Dim sName As String = "mdContact/rpPosName" Dim sValue As Object = "Administrator:  \r\n  Person A"            'update string with escape sequence added XmlPropertySet2.SetPropertyX(sName, sValue, esriXmlPropertyType.esriXPTText,  esriXmlSetPropertyAction.esriXSPAAddOrReplace, False) Setting the property type to esriXPTText suggests that the value parameter (sValue in this example) should be a string. However any escape characters inserted in the string are not interpreted correctly and instead are shown as normal text in the metadata viewer. Being at a loss what the correct escape character might be I tried quite a variety: <\r\n>    &lt;br&gt;,    &#013;   &#10;  <br>  \r\n I have seen the somewhat similar thread     https://community.esri.com/thread/213315-new-line-in-metadata-summary-description but this does not fit my problem. Any ideas how to insert new lines? ... View more

I have been loading a DEM (.img file). It displays alright but when changing vertical exaggeration nothing happens. Is there anything else to do to make vertical exaggeration work? Thanks, Axel ... View more

I need to recreate the functionality of the link table in the georeferencing toolbar. I have sets of ground control points (usually between 5 to 30 gcps for an image) and need the resulting RMS errors for a given transformation - there is no need to actually rectify the images. I have trouble understanding the DefineFromControlPoints Method. The documentation says. 'Defines the best affine transformation between two sets of points' but the arguments are defined as        ByRef fromPoints As IPoint which I understand is one point, not a set of points. This sample (rather old, but one of the few available I found) http://edndoc.esri.com/arcobjects/9.1/ComponentHelp/esriGeometry/DefineFromControlPoints_Example.htm states pAffineTrans2D.DefineFromControlPoints 4, pPtFrom(0), pPtTo(0) which appear to be single points from a point array, so again actually only one ground control point. I am confused... So again my question: can anybody show me how to use a set of points with DefineFromControlPoints ? Any help is appreciated! Cheers Axel ByRef fromPoints As IPoint ... View more

Hi all, when georeferencing a raster data set the standard link table saves only coordinates. Residuals and errors are shown but are not saved in the link table. Is there a way to export a link table including RMS errors? Thanks in advance Axel ... View more
