Apr 9	comment	When to use Model Builder over Python Scripting and vice versa? +1 NESTED LOOPS & arcpy.mapping! I like the ability to make calculations within a script and add them to attribute tables or better yet to the map layout (area of each wetland type for example).
Apr 5	comment	Open related files with a hyperlink You might try putting the files into a geodatabase and relating them with a relationship class.
Apr 5	comment	Field calculator error In 10.0 the default interpreter is VBscript. Any chance you haven't selected Python?
Mar 22	comment	Export each layer in map to a separate image File names can't have spaces, but aliases can. Avoid the spaces in your file names and rename them in your table of contents. You can chance the alias manually if it's not a huge number of files. If you're using ArcGIS 10.1 there's an arcpy function to automate the process. resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//…
Mar 22	comment	Export each layer in map to a separate image Couldn't you just use underscores instead of spaces?
Feb 21	comment	Error when creating insert cursor in arcpy This was almost a year ago, I can't really remember the context of the solution. You might be better served to post your own question including your code!
Jan 22	comment	How to make a GIS inventory? It never hurts to start out by taking a visual inventory and sketching out a design before you get into attacking an old server with python.
Jan 11	comment	Failed to delete a domain from the database Linestring or poly boundary is self-intersecting sounds like more of a topology error than a domain error.
Jan 11	comment	Failed to delete a domain from the database You could just disassociate the domain with the field and leave it in the geodatabase. I don't think it would harm anything to have an unused domain. Although if your domain is associated with a field, that's likely why you can't delete it in the first place.
Nov 26	comment	Problem with raster calculator Could you post your raster math expression?
Nov 16	comment	Arcpy crashes in loop geoprocessing (general behaviour) You'd likely need to use arcpy.Delete_management() as opposed to del
Nov 14	comment	Postgis 2.0 upgrade problem with postgres data [SOLVED] If the question has been answered you should accept an answer for future users.
Nov 5	comment	Formatting tags doesn't seem to work? As a work around you could add spaces between words, then add another text box on top of it so that it looks like it's flowing text. Hacky, yes, but it should work.
Nov 5	comment	Formatting tags doesn't seem to work? I bet you need to use all three color values (red, green, and blue).
Oct 30	comment	How can i spatially add text to feature in argis 10? If you use the select by location or attribute tools, paired with the 'Show only selected layer's' option you can change them all at once.
Oct 25	comment	What are some alternative sources for USGS data? Without knowing exactly what you're looking for, check out the community wiki on Federal / free data sources.
Oct 23	comment	Problem getting the arcpy mapping module to export a layout view map I managed to get this map to export/print properly, the only difference that I can see is that I used `'CURRENT'` instead of indicating a path to the mxd. I didn't make reference to `map.activeView` at all...
Oct 23	comment	GIS benchmarking Not necessarily a benchmark, but some suggestions for hardware.
Oct 18	comment	Pasing multivalue parameter using arcpy Related: How do I correctly use 'MultiValue' in Python script parameters?
Oct 13	comment	Drop Markers and MarkerCluster together from database It looks like you incorporated the code he used to generate random markers too. I've got minimal experience writing javascript, I suspect you'll have more luck on StackOverflow for code specifics.
