Good day! Would like to create a heat map in ArcMap based only on values of points rather than density. For example lets say two points have value 10 and are 1 mile apart. And there's a third point 20 miles away with value of 10 as well. In this case the heat would be equal across the entire region of interest rather than hotter near the two near points.

Hi Lauren, Did you ever determine a method to do what you asked? I'm looking for an answer as well. -David

The application i'm exporting from has the following file output options: Would be happy to use any one that works for arcgis import. -David

Good afternoon. I have an application that exports a .grd and associated .tab file. The file contains RF signal levels over and area with four ranges of signal strengths of different colors. How can this be converted or displayed in Arcgis? The Grid file displays to a degree. It shows three bands as RGB. On the map it appears as one color. I suspect the .tab file is needed for the correct color formatting. The .grd and .tab import fine into mapinfo. I would be fine with a .shp file format as well but don't see a conversion tool in Arcgis or Qdis for .grd and associated .tab to a .shp file regards, David

Okay I am good. I found everything and still using data frames. The insert->data frame threw me off. I am using annotation groups under Data Frame properties. This is working well. Thank you for the responses.

Good afternoon. I performed a fresh install of 10.5 after a reimage. I had 10.3 before so I had to redo the toolbars. The thing is I can see they've changed the data frame if not functionality at least the way it's done. Rather than troubleshoot the old functionality let me just ask... what is the best way to create a toggle-able transparent layer and annotate it? I have mapped points on a map and want to draw a text box and an arrow directed at respective points but the annotations need to be able to be turned on and off and able make multiple layers of this type. I don't need details but if you can tell me for example - use a data frame and add annotation on it, or create an annotation layer and annotate it (but where is the annotation layer, I see all my old data frames under drawing->active annotation targets but how do i turn visibility of those on and off). regards, David

Good morning. I just upgraded to 10.5. In my previous versions, I created data frames, drew on them, and annotated them with text and callouts. With 10.5 it seems it's done differently now. I see my old data frame names listed under the annotation targets but not under view->data frame properties. Also I cannot cause those previous annotated data frames appear. Using the new method insert -> data frame, it doesn't appear it's possible to use the drawing and text tool with the new data frame layer or to make it transparent in layout view under properties (even though it's an option given). I'm fine with using annotation layers but it doesn't appear that it's possible to turn annotated annotation layers on and off (visibility). Looking for advise on how to proceed here. I have maps with symbols from data points, some of the symbols need special callout-type annotation that can be turned on and off. Also is it possible to get my old annotated data frames to appear? regards, David
