May 18	comment	Need help in ArcPy : UniqueValuesSymbology It worked fine for me as you can probably see from the edit I just made to your question with a simple copy/paste from your JSFiddle links.
May 18	comment	Setting a scale range for labels in KML files I think the closest thing to scale dependency in KML is Regions but I don't know if they take account of label scale too or if Layer To KML writes them.
May 18	comment	How to use CURRENT map document in Python tool? I'm not clear on what you are trying to achieve but if it is to work out what map you currently have open try mxd.filePath.
May 18	comment	Need help in ArcPy : UniqueValuesSymbology Rather than use the JSFiddle links can you put your code into the body of your question, please?
May 18	comment	Need help in ArcPy : UniqueValuesSymbology What's the third line in your code 2? "print.mxd.filepath" looks like it would throw an error. Also, you seem to be lacking an "mxd.save()".
May 18	comment	What is the easiest way to calculate borehole deviation? What GIS software are you looking to use for this? You have a tag for geosoft so is it Target for ArcGIS and ArcGIS for Desktop 10.1?
May 18	comment	PostGIS - ST_Collect but only include POLYGONs not POINTs? Are you able to provide a few more details about the steps involved in doing this? I won't be following them personally but this Answer flagged up for review due to its brevity.
May 18	comment	ArcSDE : Cascading Subtypes in ArcGIS 10/SQL Server There is an ArcGIS Idea which relates I think to part of your requirement. Another part of the requirement can be met with Tool Validation but the last part (as I see it) which I don't yet have an idea for is how to enforce the hierarchy during Attribute editing.
May 18	comment	How does one define the empty space between lines and polygons in an ESRI BIM file? I have not come across an "ESRI BIM file" - are you able to include a link to where it is described and/or let us know what Esri product you are using it with, please?
May 17	comment	Create line from two points, two different feature class It sounds like you are thinking along the lines of Origin-Destination matrices so if you have access to the Network Analyst extension and have not investigated its capabilities then a good entry point is here.
May 17	comment	How to hide/suppress and rename/alias fields when exporting to KML? I have not tested but if you hide unwanted fields and alias the name of others using layer properties (or ArcPy) then I would expect Layer To KML to respect those settings.
May 17	comment	Can ArcPy collapse layer in current data frame? You should be able to suppress the automatic load using one of the Geoprocessing options here. That way I think you should be able to get control over adding the collapsed layer file and replacing its data source with the raster data you have just created.
May 17	comment	Match Lines with Data Driven Pages I received Jim's images and can see that this is a sophisticated requirement. Matchlines seem to be designed to enable someone to line up their map book pages and I think this is only simple to do if all strip maps are drawn at the same scale and at the same approximate angle. There is some background to this request worth reviewing that shows Jim has put considerable research into his requirement before posting here.
May 17	comment	How can i draw a perpendicular line in a stream segment in a regular interval of 30m? If you are using GIS software can you let us know which product(s) so that we can phrase a suitable answer, please? Most GIS software will have their dynamic segmentation (sometimes known as linear referencing or chainage) capabilities documented.
May 17	comment	Can the OpenGeo Community Edition be used in a commercial project? Welcome to GIS-SE! At its home page it says that "the OpenGeo Suite Community Edition is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL)" so this should really be a question about what you can do with that license. This is therefore not a GIS specific question.
May 17	comment	Converting Points to Lines in ArcGIS AND retaining attributes of both start and end points With Points To Line and ArcPy cursors this looks relatively straightforward but without Python I would not like to tackle it. I don't see any need for ET GeoWizards, GME or Spatial Analyst and it should all be doable with a Basic/ArcView license.
May 17	comment	Has anyone used free MangoMap to publish online maps? I've tried it and enjoyed the experience so would recommend giving it a try to see whether it meets your requirements.
May 16	comment	How to generate TFW files for a list of images? Welcome to GIS-SE! I'm having trouble understanding your question. Would you be able to provide more details, please? Are you using any GIS software already?
May 16	comment	ArcSDE : Cascading Subtypes in ArcGIS 10/SQL Server I think your "gender" field may be genus or genera. I would refer to this as hierarchical fields.
May 16	comment	How to insert values from one table into another? I agree with @Martin - if we could see some of your (pseudo-)code it would be much easier to fill in the gaps than to write from scratch. If you are new to cursors you may be better to work with arcpy.Search/UpdateCursor before tackling the slightly harder arcpy.da.Search/UpdateCursor syntax.
