What are the Pros and Cons to an ArcGISOnline Organizational Account? I spoke with some ESRI folks and they verified it is your data. You have full control on it, ESRI just hosts it in the cloud for you. ESRI doesn't gain any rights over the data. |

How to view the Area of Selected Feature in ArcGIS 10.1? Where do you want to see this area? In a popup like HTML Popup? Or in a window like Identify? Or somewhere else? It sounds like what you want is a custom popup tool of sorts. |

Propose a new location for Watch Tower using Viewshed Analysis What are the most important factors for this watch tower? Maximum viewshed for a location? Does it need to see a certain canyon? Suitable soil, accessibility, environment, etc. for site locations? I.e., do some sites provide excellent viewsheds, but are poor locations to build a tower for other reasons? If you can answer some of these questions, you may be able to reduce the areas you need to calculate viewsheds on. Those details may also help us to better formulate an automated solution for you. |

Is it possible to export an image that can be zoomed-in on? What software will the recipient be using to view this map? What file format do you want the map in? Also, resolution of your image is dependent on the original source. You can only zoom in so far, and then things begin to pixelate. |

Why does Add Field to Layer File give “ERROR 000840: The value is not a Feature Layer”? You may want to post your actual Python code to help us better troubleshoot your problem. |

Looking for open source Spatial file server that ArcGIS 10.1 will connect and work with? When you say spatial server, do you mean something like GeoServer or MapServer? Or do you mean a spatial database like PostgreSQL or MySQL? |

Cadtools getting the distance in meters Where in ArcMap did you change the coordinate values to feet? Did you change the Data Frame properties, or did you change in Customize-ArcMap Options? Or are you saying you re-projected your data layer to a projection in feet units and it didn't work? |

Cut a layer into many parts using a shapfile If you didn't have an ArcInfo license you could use the Split tool in QGIS to equal effect, although you may also need to do an intersect/union first as in Aaron's answer. |

How to make smaller ArcMap PDF for use in InDesign? Do you have any raster data in these pdfs? Like a base layer? Those bloat pdfs. Do you have quality/resolution limitations? Also, do you have Adobe Acrobat Standard or Professional? Map size flexibility (11x17 vs 8.5x11)? |

Spatial Join problems in ArcGIS 10.1 - intersect polygon and lines Have you tried Intersect and gotten the same results? |

Arc 10 Python .shp attributes - usings fields to populate other fields - if/then/else statement With one of your qualifying fields only having two possible values, you can use a definition query to select half of the records and calculate fields as needed. Then, rinse and repeat with another definition query. Or are you wanting to do something else? |

find and replace, field calculator Is what you are trying to replace unique within the string? Or could there be duplicates in the same string? |

How to use Scale tool when Georeferencing Raster in ArcMap? Put in a control point with Auto Adjust turned off and just stack it. Select a zero-order polynomial transformation. Then hit rectify and see what the copy looks like. With just one stacked control point, it shouldn't skew your raster at all. It's also interesting to note that the first 3 control points only align, rotate, and scale without skewing (at least in my experience ;)). |

How to calculate the density of settlement per 100 square kilometers? Do you already have the area of interest as a polygon or area? Or are you wanting to calculate an area based off the points (i.e., convex hull)? |

How to remove spikes in polygons with ArcGIS 10/Python? I'm not sure you are going to find an automated method for fixing your spikes. The problem is, how do you distinguish between sharp angles inside polygons vs outside? Or how do you tell your software what is a spike vs nonspike? And since you don't want the rest of the polygon to move/change, that limits what tools will work. That's a tough one. |

Interview questions for hiring a GIS Analyst @Andy W: I've been asked every one of those questions multiple times in interviews! And my thoughts were very similar to the comic guy's. |

Using Python in the Field Calculator, how do I refer to a field in another shapefile? Once you have joined your tables, you should be able to reference the fields by using your shapefile name + the field name. E.g., !myshape.AREA!. |

Using Python in the Field Calculator, how do I refer to a field in another shapefile? Why can't you join the two shapefile tables together? Then you can reference the joined fields to do your calculation. |

importing data (weighted average) from a shapefile from another shapefile Will your column have the same weighted value for each row? Also, is there a common attribute between the shapefiles you can use to join them? Or were you hoping to do a spatial join where the connection is location, rather than attributes? |

Using an arcpy cursor: How to define the actual visited feature as current selection of the layer? It's true that Data Driven Pages can only be applied to one Data Frame at a time. So, you want your Python script to use SearchCursor to iterate through features and update on multiple Data Frames at the same time? |
