May 2	comment	How to calculate the shared area between a raster and a shape file in ArcGIS 10? +1 I'd overlooked that "network of protected areas" might just need "in or out"
May 2	comment	How to calculate the shared area between a raster and a shape file in ArcGIS 10? I tend to have a vector mindset but here is where making raster the common data format might make a lot of sense.
May 2	comment	How to increase maximum memory usage cap for running Arc 10.1? +1 I probably saw this at the time but had forgotten about it.
May 2	comment	How to buffer increasing/decreasing population zones? This is easy to do as buffers but personally I would use graduated symbology. Is this just for display or do you need buffer polygons for something else?
May 2	comment	How can I set the settings of an Address Locator within a Model or arcpy? @Arabella I think you should make your Comment into an Answer because it answers the question. Can I also suggest that someone creates an ArcGIS Idea for this (and link to it here) if it is important to your work.
May 2	comment	Help with Python and adding a grouplayer to arc, renaming it from a folder name, then adding layers to it from that folder You have a python27 tag which suggests you are using ArcGIS 10.1 or 10.1 SP1. If it is the latter you may want to consider using arcpy.da.Walk. Also, is there any chance that you can break that long first paragraph up into a series of steps to make it easier to digest? If you can include a question mark somewhere it should make the main focus of your Question more obvious too.
May 2	comment	Which methods are most suited to classifying urban areas from Landsat imagery? @Aaron Sounds like you inferred "best procedure" where I read "best software" literally. Unfortunately, I cannot unvote for closed so will have to leave it there.
May 2	comment	No. of Bands in the input Raster Would you be able to edit those details into your question so that it reads standalone, please?
May 2	comment	Which methods are most suited to classifying urban areas from Landsat imagery? This question looks like going into an extended discussion/debate on pros/cons of software choice so I have voted for it to be closed.
May 2	comment	No. of Bands in the input Raster From a tag you aplied it looks like you may be using ArcGIS but what version and precise procedure is throwing this error? My guess is you just need to look at the dataset Properties to read off the number of bands.
May 1	comment	How to Add Shapefile with Symbology from Layer File to ArcMap MXD using ArcPy/Python? If you have not done so already look at ArcPy's AddLayer method and Layer properties especially setDataSource.
May 1	comment	Network analysis service areas vs. network analysis Welcome to GIS Stack Exchange! What software products, extensions and versions did you use? It sounds like ArcGIS but it is wise to always say in your question (and I recommend also including as tags).
May 1	comment	Edit SDE table with ArcObjects - continued There has been no activity on this question for nearly two years so I am voting to close as "Too Localised" (in time and scope).
May 1	comment	Adding table to the MapServer so the layers and tables can be associated Asker has not been seen on site for nearly two years and has not responded to questions asked or accepted the answer so I'm voting to close as Too Localized (in time).
Apr 30	comment	How to embed a PDF into an Excel spreadsheet? Can you include a link to your Stack Overflow Question, please? I agree with @RyanDalton that exportreport and exporttopdf are too granular to be good tag candidates.
Apr 30	comment	How to embed a PDF into an Excel spreadsheet? Just wondering whether this is still a GIS question because it is really "How to embed PDF in XLS using Python". It may be better pursued via Stack Overflow.
Apr 30	comment	How to learn ArcGIS Server? The community would love to help but what we will need you to do is to follow the advice provided when your question was closed so that it can be improved and hopefully re-opened. Rather than just saying "ARCSDE is not working", can you describe any errors or other symptoms that you are seeing? Please do not resond to this using a comment - it is the Question that needs to be edited by you.
Apr 29	comment	python script in modelbuilder: get field value and return boolean expressions Welcome to SE-GIS! If you have not seen it, a Question with similar requirements, and an alternative solution for if/then/else logic (which I like better), can be found here.
Apr 29	comment	Can't open ArcGrid created by Seamless viewer from NED I notice that your link now redirects to nationalmap.gov/viewer.html - has your grid only just been downloaded?
Apr 29	comment	Corrupt shapefile. How to fix Welcome to SE-GIS! Are you able to elaborate on which "shapefile repair tool" you are recommending? Perhaps by including a link to where it or help about it can be found.
