Yesterday ArcMap crashed and corrupted the toolbar layout of a map I used as model.    No TOC, the Menu bar is on the left, ... Nothing dramatic, so I replaced them to something that is more of my liking:    I saved, closed my map (to save the display in my Normal.mxt) and reopened the map. I was back at its corrupted "look"!  I deleted my Normal.mxt template. Open ArcMap, and it was ok. I added the toolbars I use the most, saved it and made a copy of my Normal.mxt.  If I open an new map, the display is fine. If I try to open any existing map (even one created a couple months ago), the display is "re-corrupted" but I know I was fine in that document.   I used a script to create 45 maps from the model mentioned earlier, so I expect to them to have the corrupted layout (didn't notice this before creating them). But I don't want to have to replace all my toolbars everytime I open a map I created before.  Never had that behavior before.  I look like it's the same question as , but I didn't find an answer there for me.

I have a set of Arcmap map templates, the toolbars within them at one time where fixed in position. Now for whatever reason, every time I or another open the template the ordering of the toolbars has changed.  Any Idea how to fix this?  ****Research****  May be related to this bug.

I made a mesh with a decent topology, gave it a subdivision before UVing and UVed it after. Even still, when I subdivide it again after UVing I get some very ugly distortions on my checker textures. How to avoid this sort of issue? Frankly the mesh hardly shifts shape when I smooth, and even still the distortion is disgusting.   Edit:

I'm trying to use arcpy to save an .mxd and am having an issue.  It doesn't matter if I use mxd.save or mxd.saveACopy I get the same error.  I know it doesn't look like I am doing anything w/ it here, but it's just a portion of my code:  import arcpy import arcpy.mapping as map arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True  env.workspace = r"C:\MGIS\FinalProject2.gdb     mxd = map.MapDocument(r"C:\MGIS\Finalproject2.mxd") df = map.ListDataFrames(mxd)[0]  for df in map.ListDataFrames(mxd): df.scale = 2000000  #Add layers into map document addLayer = map.Layer(OKXcounties) addLayer1 = map.Layer(contourLabelText) addLayer2 = map.Layer(contoursClipLyr) addLayer3 = map.Layer(clipOKXLyr) map.AddLayer(df, addLayer, "AUTO_ARRANGE") map.AddLayer(df, addLayer1, "AUTO_ARRANGE") map.AddLayer(df, addLayer2, "AUTO_ARRANGE") map.AddLayer(df, addLayer3, "AUTO_ARRANGE")  # Add contour Labels for lyr in map.ListLayers(mxd):     if lyr.name == "contourLabelText":         lyr.showLabels = True     if lyr.name == "Contour Features":         lyr.transparency = 100  mxd.saveACopy(mxd)   I get the following error:   Traceback (most recent call last):   File "C:\Python26\ArcGIS10.0\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\pywin\framework\scriptutils.py", line 312, in RunScript     exec codeObject in __main__.__dict__   File "C:\MGIS\geog485\FinalProject2\mxdtest.py", line 7, in &lt;module&gt;     mxd.saveACopy(mxd)   File "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\arcpy\arcpy\utils.py", line 181, in fn_     return fn(*args, **kw)   File "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\arcpy\arcpy\_mapping.py", line 668, in saveACopy     self._arc_object.saveACopy(file_name) AttributeError: MapDocObject: Unable to save.  Check to make sure you have write access to the specified file and that there is enough space on the storage device to hold your document.   Space is not the issue, I have 60 GB of free space and I've checked the windows properties of the .mxd file.  Read-only box is unchecked and I've "allowed" all permissions for all groups:    Does anyone have any idea how if this is a bug or how I can fix this?  I'm using ArcInfo 10.0 SP4.

I always mess up my model in blender. At some point I manually add vertices on edges with subdivide and then I connect them with J, and sometimes I have to fill faces with F.   As you can see my model is a little bit messed up and this happens all the time. And I can't properly use the loop cut tool anymore. Any idea how to fix this? Update: Here is the blend.file

that I posted on Meta.Programmers was rather broken, with a block quote replaced by apparently random letters and numbers. Aarthi fixed it with a non-breaking space, but I don't understand what went wrong.  When I opened the post for editing, the displayed text was what I intended to go there. It only happens when the post is viewed in the reading mode. The preview also displayed the text correctly.

I've converted a shapefile with attributes to a .kml for a client.  The .kml and attributes were then edited within google earth.  I received the updated .kml and now I need to get it back to .shp.  The problem is: all of my attributes are now in html format, which makes the popup info box in google earth.  When I try to convert back to .shp my attributes get lumped into a (google created) "Description" field.  And ALL of my attributes and information is lumped into a single cell.  Is there some way to extract the data from the "Description" field.  Even if I do that, is there an easy way to get rid of the html format and make it usable?   This is what I get using the "Fusion Table" method I found on some forums.  You can see the html in the left, it continues on further than it shows.    I am using ArcGIS Desktop 10.2.

Pages has crashed, my file is now corrupted and I'm trying to get the text from this file.  if I Right click on the file > Show package content > open index.zip , I can see a bunch of .iwa files which seems to contains my original text, especially "Document.iwa".  If I "$ nano Document.iwa" (because "$ file" only returns "data") I can see some of my text, but the overall seems crypted.  Does anyone know how to decode/read this kind of .iwa file or recover corrupted files?

I was messing with UV unwrapping, and this is what happened:    I reset the UV map, but to no result. For reference, I have older render of the same glass (the version which was unfortunately overwritten):    How to make it smooth again?  It looks like there are two faces in the same place oriented other ways.  That's how face orientation view looks like: How to rotate these faces?

Something broke in my chrome install and now my current url is outside to the left of my omnibox:    I can even click it as a button and it brings me to that page, also it will always stay blank, even when typing in it.  Is there a way to reset the layout?

Is there such a thing as a line/vertices symbology? If not a workaround? In some situations, particularly when editing, I would like to see my lines as well as all the vertices similar to the effect I get when using the Edit Vertices tool but on all features in the feature class not just the selected feature.  The solution should be dynamic, without having to create a separate point layer but having one line features class loaded twice in the TOC is acceptable.  Programmatic solution using an example (addin, ArcObjects &amp; VB.Net) is acceptable.  I have the ArcEditor license in case there is a trick to use with representations.

From what I understand, an ArcGIS mxd file contains the "styling" information on how to show data.  I downloaded and imported OpenStreetMap data into my geodatabase. Now I need to show them.  Is there any available mxd file match the OpenStreetMap fields/values that I can use?  I check this question(), but the links are all dead.  ps: right now the all the highway/roads/trail display as a single line in my map. I want to use mxd to show them in a better way, like Mapnik or google.

I have seen a single (1) mention of View port background images disappearing when the .blend file is saved and reopened.  However...the answers are not relative to what I am experiencing.  I go through the trouble of setting up four images (top, side, front, back) and then pack these images using External Data &gt; Pack all into .blend and then I save the .blend.  I save the file, open it back up, and the background images are all gone. Open up properties panel, look to see background images check box is unchecked, click add image, and choosing the open drop-down arrow...the data paths still show the list of images (packed into a specific folder textures).  They are still there, the data set is intact.  Why is It that I have to set this up each and every time I open the file.  It seems like earlier versions &lt;2.76B saved the images and saved the file with the background images check box checked without the need to set this up each time the file is reopened.  This is getting very frustrating due to the fact that a few of the background images mus be set up using Blender's rotate, scale and move tools to align the background image up with the model I have already fabricated.  Thanks!

How can I change or add keyboard shortcuts in ArcMap?   I have tried Customize --> Customize mode --> Commands --> Keyboard. However, this does not seem to actually work. I can add shortcuts and link them, but nothing happens when I use them even though they seems to be saved (my created shortcut still shows up after restarting Arcmap).  I'm not using English keyboard layout so, for example, I can't use the [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [=] for Zoom to selected features, since I need Shift to even get a =. It would be really useful to be able to change or add alternative shortcuts for the tools I use regularly.   Does anyone know how? Preferably something within Arcmap, but if it comes down to writing an AutoHotkey script that'll work too if you can give me some hints.  There are a few questions relating to  already, but none that I found is giving me a useful answer. I have also looked at all the lists of shortcuts that's been implemented, both on ArcGIS Resources Online and . No hints on how to change the shortcuts though.  COMMENT: If the shortcut includes [ALT GR] it doesn't seem to work properly.

In the  I see:    Is that what the help is supposed to say and look like? Because it doesn't make sense to me.  As animuson points out in a comment, all of the highlighted example text is being shifted to the very left of each line. The entire page is broken.

I was using a custom keyboard layout. Basically I modified the us-mac layout to fit my ideal of a math-heavy version of the regular us layout that also throws German umlauts into mix. It went well and worked marvelously for 6 consecutive versions of Ubuntu. Today's version Upgrade (from 13.04 to 13.10) broke that streak. I now have the usual crappy Macintosh-Layout.  Now xkb just ignores my layout and all of the other changes I make in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us (tried to switch '0' and '9' everywhere and rebooted - no effect). Why is that?  I suspect I have to do an extra step now for the changes to take effect or something like that. Anyone care to point me in the right direction?

I just noticed  that got bumped up recently on RPG SE. The editor was trying to replace a formerly MathJax-based table with one in Markdown, which is fine. But the table isn't working at all. So, I hit Edit, and the live preview has the table just fine. Clearly, the server-side Markdown renderer and the client-side one for live preview, aren't matching up here. For reference, here's the same exact table:  ...blahblah |Magic Item Ingredients || |---|---| |Item Rarity | CR Range | |Common | 1—3 | |Uncommon | 4—8 | |Rare | 9—12 | |Very rare | 13—18 | |Legendary | 19+ |  I can confirm that the table above looks perfectly fine in the preview prior to submitting this report. And after posting, it worked fine, until I added actual text in the blockquote, before the table, so that apparently has something to do with it. Even if this broken table is okay, the two different renderers should probably be built to agree on the results, so people don't post things that look good in the preview, but are broken when actually displayed.

My points are disappearing when I zoom in past 300,000 in ArcMap.  I tried to repair geometry, but it doesn't fix anything?    I also checked the scale extents and those are turned off.  I can export the points to a new shapefile/feature class, but I'd like to not have to do that.    I'm using 10.1 on Windows 7 x64.
