When working with quality assessment fishnet tiles in ArcMap most of the time couple of thousands i have to double click each record to move from one fishnet to the other. Instead of that i am looking for a keyboard shortcut which can do first go to the next record line and also at the same time zoom to that feature to a fixed scale. In the ArcMap attribute table view Ctrl + Enter will take you the next row record the missing one is how to zoom to that feature in the map view with keyboard shortcut at the same time.   I do not have that much programming know how.

In ArcMap 10 table view, is there a way to set up a hotkey that when a feature is selected, pressing say "z" is equivalent to right-click-->Zoom To?  I would like to be able to highlight a record and just press "z" to zoom to the feature, "p" to pan to the feature and keep the same zoom, etc.  It seems simple enough, but I cannot seem to find a place to set up this function.  Am I missing something simple? I just want to replicate the function shown below without the 2 additional mouse clicks.

I'm facing this frustrating "feature" that I can't seem to remedy; when I duplicate an object (and now, even when I create two completely new objects), their transformations/scaling is synchronized. This is extremely annoying when trying to use any sort of transformation keyboard shortcut.  It should be noted by going to the properties menu (N) and manually setting the properties works just fine.  For instance, here is just the camera selected (trust me, I made sure):   And when I try to transform by clicking+dragging on the X axis OR by hitting G->X, this happens:   They are not grouped (verified by going to the Groups list up in the Scene panel) and they do not have parents (verified by going to Object->Relations).  I have tried the unlink command as well, to no avail.  I have seriously run out of options; what did I change to have my G->X shortcuts transform multiple objects? It seems completely at random, too; certain objects seemed to be "linked" to other random objects, and this "linking" is guaranteed when duplicating even when I do a non-linking duplicate (Shift+D).  What gives?

I am using ArcGIS 10.1 and I have a non-spatial table and some layers in a Data Frame.   When I switch to Layout View I want to be able to show the map in a data frame element and the table in another element (something that one could do with "Add Table To Layout" from Table Options, but I want to do this in one step without having to go to Table Options).   Is there a way to do this using ArcPy?   I couldn't find any function in the ArcPy library that would create a new Layout Element ... and then I also don't know how to add the contents of the table to the Layout Element.

I'm trying to create a tool in ModelBuilder that will take a new point from a user, create a feature class for this point and display it on a map.  What I've done is:   I've created a feature class for a point-like feature in ArcCatalog. I've prepared a really simple model in ModelBuilder, that starts with a feature set variable (which takes the feature class as a schema and symbology file). The variable is marked as a parameter. Next I'm using the Copy Features tool that takes the variable as input and saves it as a feature class in my scratch workspace. The output feature class is marked as a parameter with the 'add to display' option.   After the module is run I get a shapefile in my scratch workspace. I can add it manually to TOC and it contains the selected point. However no matter what I do, I can't display it in TOC automatically after the model completes.  There is a known issue described in several places that doesn't allow to display newly created layers in TOC when model finishes with the 'add to display' option. However there's a quick workaround, which is to mark the output layer as parameter. In my case it doesn't work.  I'm using ArcGIS for Desktop 10.1 on Windows 7 x86_64.

I am having some issues. In ArcGIS, I created a custom toolbar (with the python addin wizard) to do the following: 1. Button to connect to feature class, 2-5. A series of comboboxes to view, edit data in a field in the feature class. I want each of the combo box classes to directly connect to the field. And be able to write new data from the boxes into the fields.  Example: Combobox 1 to connect to field 1. So that when I deploy this a user can edit data without doing this the traditional way. Its a way to have inexperienced users edit data. I am new to python and willing to pay for the time required to help me as I am out of ideas. And ESRI doesn't have a solution either.   import arcpy import pythonaddins from arcpy import env   class ButtonClass1(object):     """Implementation for QuickTableEdit_addin.button (Button)"""     def __init__(self):         self.enabled = True         self.checked = False     def onClick(self):         print("Button1 Clicked")         env.workspace = "C:/data"         arcpy.CreateTable_management("C:/data", "test_table.dbf","template.dbf")         mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT")         df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd)[0]         dbf_Table = arcpy.mapping.TableView(r"C:\data\test_table.dbf")         arcpy.mapping.AddTableView(df, dbf_Table)         arcpy.RefreshTOC()         pass  class ComboBoxClass2(object):     """Implementation for QuickTableEdit_addin.combobox_1 (ComboBox)"""     def __init__(self):         self.items = [1,2]         self.editable = True         self.enabled = True         self.dropdownWidth = 'WWWWWW'         self.width = 'WWWWWW'     def onSelChange(self, selection):         global cb1         cb1 = self.value         pass     def onEditChange(self, text):         pass     def onFocus(self, focused):         pass     def onEnter(self):         pass     def refresh(self):         pass

I selected data by using select layer by attribute, then I need to only select these selection and zoom in to the selection.  my code is this, it can zoom in base on the scale I set, but I see other adjacent polygon that has other Code_No, why?  Layer = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "lyr", df)        arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management(lyr, "NEW_SELECTION", "Code_NO = '%s'"%mycodeNo)            df.extent = lyrLayer1.getSelectedExtent() df.scale *= 2

I want a keyboard shortcut for switching between selecting things; vertices, faces and points. One key for each, not a pop up menu where i have to select with the mouse. Does this exist? Modelling should be like playing a piano or something, a key for everything, minimal aiming the mouse pointer att small icons, this aiming the mouse att small icons all the time is so.. breaks the flow.. Im sure it exists but i cant find it anywhere?

I have about 50 pdf maps that I would like to batch georeference and/or georectify. I've saved one as a jpg and georeferenced it manually and would like to automate the rest which are in the same location and have the same extent.      The density gradient will change in each case, but the map (saved as jpg now) will have the same extent for all 50 cases.  Does anyone know of a link to a step-by-step tutorial that deals with batch processing in Arcmap 10.2 only? I'm thinking of using the  or possibly the  option, but am not sure where to start?  The sample code is:   import arcpy arcpy.WarpFromFile_management( "\\cpu\data\raster.img", "\\cpu\data\warp_out.tif", "\\cpu\data\gcpfile.txt", "POLYORDER2", "BILINEAR")

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.

I'm looking for ways to browse through a bunch of points that I have so that I can assign each of them a value. Ideally I would like to be able to use a button on the keyboard to step through each individual point (while keeping the same zoom level) so that I can keep my cursor over my attribute table in order to assign a value to the point. I have used Browse Features before and I know that is an obvious solution but I currently do not have the extension. Data driven pages does work, but it doesn't select the feature so it is easy to get lost where I am when I am in the table when I go to assign a point. I also have to move my cursor to click next page which is slow and clunky and I can't seem to assign a keyboard shortcut to it as well. It also doesn't seem to update the value in the drop down menu to what I have assigned to the name field so I can't keep track of where I am in the table with that either.   Does anyone have any ideas? Being able to stay zoomed in is also important since I need to be able to see the color of the pixel from my imagery that my point is sitting on top of.

Is it possible to create a scalebar in ArcMap that shows distances in custom units? I understand how to do this manually, but it would be great if I could define a custom unit of measurement (let's say "1 swimming pool") and use that to dynamically generate a scalebar.

I have more than 10,000 rows of data I need to do some calculations on one column of the data. I have made the calculation in one cell and now need to fill the formula for the calculation and all the cells.  Usually I just select the cells using the keyboard and then press the Ctrl+D to fill the cells. However, now I have to do this repeatedly, and it is difficult to keep on selecting 5000 rows each file. Is there a simpler way where I can just specify the range using the keyboard? Perhaps even have a macro since all of the files have a fixed length  Also, since I have difficulty in using the mouse because of medical reasons and therefore I have not tested  which involves clicking on a very small fill handle. Maybe there is a parallel solution to this using the keyboard or maybe I can create a macro which will automatically click on a fill handle of a selected cell - please advise if there is a way.

I'm a gmail junkie, and one of my favorite features is the keyboard shortcut "a" inside an email to archive the message. I can't remember if that was the default or if I set it to such a quick little keypress, but by now it's totally ingrained in my memory.   I'm setting up Outlook 2010 (or 2013) for work, and set up a similar "quick step" to archive, mark as read, and mark as complete any email.  It would be great, except for keyboard shortcuts they only give the option for "CTRL + SHIFT + 1" and other number key options. With a keyboard shortcut that convoluted, I'm not going to remember it and might as well just reach for my mouse.  Is there any way to set custom keyboard shortcuts for Outlook 2010? I want one-key shortcuts, not 3-keys-at-once!

I am trying to create a grid road map with an index table for street look up.  I am using this tutorial by ESRI:   I am at the step whereby I am supposed to spatially join a point file (centroid point for each label) to a grid (which has the grid ID):      The next step is to use the Spatial Join tool (one to many is the join   option) and join the annotation to each grid cell they fall within.    However, you will likely not want to work directly with the annotation   because the spatial join options for “contains” or “within” will not   include any annotation that overlaps more than one grid cell. Further,   the “intersects” option will create duplicate entries in the same   circumstances. To get around that convert the annotation to point   features using the Feature to Point tool (Important note: I had to   delete the Element field; the type is blob, the field isn’t needed,   but if it’s there, the tool won’t run).   It seems to be telling me to spatially join the points to the grid in order to match up each label point with its grid ID value. However, whenever I spatially join, the output table is empty.   Any advice? I simply need to find a way to extract the grid ID of where the points falls within the grid.     I've included a photo of the spatial join parameters. After the process runs, it simply spits out a new shapefile with no features and an empty attribute table.

I'm not really sure what to call the "minimap" feature of a text editor.   For example, Sublime Text has what I would call a Minimap feature. A skinny map on the left side where you can click to get to different parts of the file.     Seems like there would be a Notepad++ plugin for this.  Anybody know?

I am using ArcMap 10.2 and I'm looking for a way to add  a table containing certain fields from select elements from a featureclass to my map. Ive tried the add table option from the attribute table, but it doesn't quite give what I want (the table must be editable to look a certain way).   Are there any options out there for 10.2 like arcpy.mapping.tableview or will upgrading to 10.3 so I can get access to the "graphic table element" function be best?

I've found a nasty VBS way to do this, but I'm looking for a native PoSh procedure to edit the properties of a .LNK file.  The goal is to reach out to remote machines, duplicate an existing shortcut with most of the correct properties, and edit a couple of them.  If it would just be easier to write a new shortcut file, that would work too.
