Beginner JS coder needs help, Thank-you. I attempted to follow along the webinar or online demo codes but still can't troubleshoot. I want to code the 3D map (SceneView) to able pan at ground-level, let say seeing the mountain terrains. Now I can only pan the globe around at a perpendicular view. What have I missed or did wrong in the codes? https://codepen.io/yiuklh/pen/eGmmov  ... View more

Can ArcGIS Explorer Desktop runs on Windows 10 (64-bit) OS ? When I opened ArcGIS Explorer, it is "not responding" and which I had to "End Task" (Task Manger). Because of this, I want to know if the current ArcGIS 10.3.1 Desktop (Home Use Program) also have the same problem. ... View more

I use ArcMap Desktop 10.2 (Home Use license) and was trying to open a basemap from ArcGIS Online through a map document file (.mxd) instead of through an internet browser (IE, Firefox, etc). E.g.) This is the map I want to open on ArcMap < http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=b55dbc2ae4c8425cabd5a872382539e1 > At the OPEN drop-down tab, I choose "Open in ArcGIS For Desktop". But somehow ArcMap 10.2 can't open the basemap, which is the downloaded file ("item.pkinfo" (428 bytes) file) from www.argis.com). I checked it with ArcGIS Desktop 10.1 SP1, and there is no such problem opening a basemap from ArcGIS Online. Q: How should I troubleshoot the problem? Any Server Pack for Desktop 10.2 ? I found a similar thread on similar problem, but they were talking about the older versions of ArcGIS. < http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/28987-Open-this-map-in-ArcGIS-10-doesn-t-work > ...

I have a water feature shapefile have the names of all the records (names of the lakes, rivers, creeks, etc), but I only want to label certain water features (the major lakes for example) and at the same time showing all the water features (that is not definition querying out certain records) on the map. By default labelling it would label all the records, which is not my preference for the map visualization. Is there a VBScript Label Expression for labelling certain records of a shapefile ? (In this case, I know the names of the major water features which I want to label). Because right now I has been labelling them one-by-one using the text tool, which is not quit efficient at times. ... View more

What is the VBScript Label Expression for labelling Highway names - the numerical text only (which is usually the last one to three digits of a road name) in ArcGIS 10? For example, I want to label "Highway 404", or "Highway 1" on a map, but want to label them with an oval symbol with the highway number on it. Because I found the convert labels to annotation is not efficient if you have so many roads on a map (Like it is not efficient if I have to change the highway names one-by-one). Note: I don't have solid knowledge in programming codes, and therefore, need some help that would enhance my cartography workflow in school work. So what I know is very limited, like I only know how to use the label expressions of UCase([Name]), or LCase([Name]). ... View more
