how to remove underscore from filename in directory using modelbuilder @Pete this is the kind of thing which is hard to find if you don't know what words to use when searching, and eyes-closed easy when you do know the words. |

How to handle licenses when reinstalling ArcGIS 10.1 after computercrash? As @PolyGeo says, Esri Customer Service should be able to help you resolve this (contact info here)From the tone of your message I suspect your name is not on the list of people allowed to contact them, however, do it anyway and you might get bounced to the right place, eventually. In the meantime see if the recipe at gis.stackexchange.com/questions/49290/… helps get a clean enough slate to allow a reinstall. |

Reprojecting Natural Earth “Admin 0 – Countries” shapefile to Web Mercator I re-opened the Q since David revised it sufficiently to show what makes this different from the linked duplicate. However since it is a specialized problem relating to a single dataset there is potential for it to be closed again as 'too localized'. We'll see what kind of answers are turned up. |

Why do objects disappear when I zoom on a dynamic map service? @yo_haha I'm closing this as too localized, there's not enough information here to work with. Please feel free to add detail, for instance how to (possibly) reproduce or a public example, and ask for it to be re-opened. |

How best to share QGIS data with an ArcGIS user? Regarding un-numbered bullet #4: Esri created the .prj-file-holds-CRS convention specifically to address the limitation of shapefiles not storing the CRS natively. If memory serves, this was about the time ArcView 3.2 was released, circa 2000. That said, the .prj contents do have to conform to the Esri syntax for coordinate systems (scan for "ESRI Well Known Text" at gdal.org/gdal_utilities.html) |

Error code 500: Geoprocessing Task Failed @stakz +1 to balance the downvote: although specifics are left out the cause is identified clearly enough that someone else faced with a similar error has something they can chase down -- Error 500 might mean variables in Tool and Model don't match. That said I agree the question did not give enough context for anyone else to help. |

ArcGIS extension track for arctoolbox @gkar, only the person asking a question can mark it answered; mod's can't do that. Any user can vote an answer up or down though. |

ArcToolBox input layer and SDE default database connection @gkar, Polygeo is correct, the accepted way to "bump" an unanswered question is to revise it. It will automatically float to top for a time. The edits-to-bump should be significant, adding real new information or improving clarity, else you risk invoking peoples bozo bit flip. If that still doesn't work offer a bounty, though admittedly that's an expensive proposition when one has few reputation points. |

Discontinuous or Interrupted map projections? Hi gazhay, welcome to GIS.se :) It's good practice to use the page title or some other distinguishing bit of text instead of here when linking; makes it easier to hunt down new links when the destination page inevitably succumbs to bitrot. (This also would have been better placed as a comment to the referenced "previously mentioned" answer, but I realize as a new user this isn't open to you yet). Thanks for contributing. I encourage a question and answer about the Shape > Illustrator > Openlayers workflow as it sounds interesting (gis.stackexchange.com/help/self-answer) |

Cant scale map appropriately Hi Will, welcome to GIS.se :) To fetch good answers you'll generally need to add more detail in your questions. The more effort you put in, the more effort others will put in to help. To your question: if what is visible is too small then either a) the paper size needs to be enlarged, or b) a different scale needs to be used. |

Unable to display WFS using Geoserver and OpenLayers yes, please do add your solution as an answer. The Q will still be closed afterwards as being too localized, but will remain here for the future in case it does become relevant again for somebody. |

What projection to use in ArcMap for a map that extends over Wgs84 Utm31 and 32 Andy, it is numerically impossible to have a UTM map that spans UTM zones, as the coordinates reset to 0 (or whatever the projection origin and offset is) for each zone -- the coordinates are duplicated in each. You have 3 valid answers or routes to answers here, but they will take time to study and understand. Coordinate systems and projection is hard, that's why projection tag has ~500 questions, many with high ratings. The Esri documentation pointed to by TsvGis would be a profitable starting point. |

Error when using gdal/ogr and python to clip a “shp” file by a “shp” Hi Stefan, Welcome to GIS.se :) Thanks for adding the specific error message. It reveals that your problem is likely not about GIS exactly, but basic python and operating system interaction and thus better suited for StackOverflow.com. That said, using subprocess like this is ill-advised. You'd be better to use the python module directly, one example or at least test if the files exist, if exist input_shp: {...do stuff..}; else: print 'cant find %s!' % input_shp |

How to add simple table of text (Excel) into layout and preserve formatting and clarity? Thanks @almathom, I didn't know that. This means it might be possible, with hackery, to be able to actually edit the embedded graphic since EMF consists of vectors, bitmaps and real text. It also explains why the quality on resizing the graphics are better than I expected. |

For each polygon, return yes/no value if it intersects another layer Hi darkness, welcome to GIS.se :) I see you've tagged this for 'qgis'; it's also a good idea to include that in the title or body somewhere. I know it seems like duplication but people have a tendency to not read closely the first time through (or ever). You'll get less off-target answers that way. |

How to set up Python 2.7 to work in both QGIS and ArcGIS? this is a nice clear and concise answer for getting started with qgis python on Windows, but is doesn't address "work in both QGIS and ArcGIS" :) |
