May 21	comment	Difference between python window and toolbox Have you tried just running a test of the same code both ways? That way you'll know any performance difference and then just have to try and explain it.
May 20	comment	create grid cells of fixed dimension around a point acting as a centroid It seems odd to me that they can be provided 2 degrees apart in X and Y if not generated.
May 20	comment	Reinstall ArcGIS 10.1 after computercrash Have you tried your local Esri support for this one? It should be a "bread and butter" question for them to provide either a technical or marketing solution. If you are on some sort of Educational License I am thinking you should have a registered Technical Contact who can raise it as an issue.
May 20	comment	How to Calculate Utilization Distribution Overlap Index (UDOI) in ArcGIS @DevdattaTengshe I thought a comment on the original (answered but not accepted - for good reasons) question would bring it back to the top of the queue. It's the original question that I would like to see resolved (if possible) first. Then, assuming nothing "new at 10.x" is used in the solution this question becomes moot.
May 20	comment	python script to calculate and return values based on several conditions This would be much easier to respond to if we could see a table with some sample records in your question.
May 20	comment	How to Calculate Utilization Distribution Overlap Index (UDOI) in ArcGIS I agree with @DevdattaTengshe that whuber's amazing answer does not seem to address the "how to do in ArcGIS 10?" part of that question. However, the only difference between that question and this one is that this one is "how to do in ArcGIS 9.3?" I do not think this is a big enough difference to stop it being a duplicate so am going to cast my vote that way too. To initiate further discussion and to introduce the second (older version) I recommend this asker makes a Comment on whuber's Answer to the original question. I think it is an excellent question (+1) just not an original one.
May 20	comment	How to truncate field names to 10 characters in model builder Can you provide some examples of the "habitat characteristic shapefile title[s]" that you are using? It is very easy to just chop anything past 10 characters but if they all start with the same 10 characters then that will be of no use. Also, are you using ArcGIS for Desktop 10.0 or 10.1?
May 20	comment	Field added to raster data is not visible in attribute table Perhaps one is in a folder workspace and the other in a geodatabase workspace.
May 20	comment	Field added to raster data is not visible in attribute table It sounds like you just need to refresh the workspace that contains your raster dataset with the newly added field - which you can do in ArcMap's Catalog window.
May 20	comment	UnboundLocalError: local variable referenced before assignment You could use 3 x elif and an else to see if any values other than 1-4 are encountered.
May 19	comment	create grid cells of fixed dimension around a point acting as a centroid I think this can be done using not much more than Create Fishnet, Define Projection and Project but only if the points are generated and not provided - is that the case?
May 19	comment	create grid cells of fixed dimension around a point acting as a centroid I've not been able to reach your link to see your two figures so I'll upvote your question to see if that may give you enough rep to include them instead.
May 19	comment	create grid cells of fixed dimension around a point acting as a centroid Definitely use ArcGIS Densify tool if you have access to Standard or Advanced license level. Or @DanPatterson Densify tool that looks like it may be designed for Basic too.
May 19	comment	I can not draw a line with a function Would you be able to expand upon your Answer, please? It is fine (often good) to include links but if this one were to break there is nothing in your Answer that would help subsequent readers.
May 19	comment	Can a single raster pixel hold more than one value? I always find "one question, one answer" easier to read and a cut/paste should make the split straightforward to do.
May 19	comment	Can a single raster pixel hold more than one value? This sounds like three valid Questions which I would recommend splitting.
May 19	comment	Setting a scale range for labels in KML files I'm no KML expert either and, in any event, that sounds like a new question in its own right so is best raised outside of comments.
May 19	comment	How to use CURRENT map document in Python tool? Purely 10.1 as far as I know.
May 19	comment	Setting a scale range for labels in KML files There is a KML Tutorial that discusses your editing options.
May 18	comment	How to use CURRENT map document in Python tool? I think you will need to include more code (and pseudo code) in your question but my understanding is that your in_memory workspace is gone when you close ArcMap or complete a Python script which imports ArcPy.
