Sep 25	comment	Need a spatial database that can be used by QGIS and R Spatialite = No server configuration! You can copy your database and send it to someone without having to connect anyone to a server.
Sep 24	comment	How to connect a dbo database through the add database server in ArcCatalog? All things considered, I think it's more likely that the configuration is wrong. I'm not sure the full extent of the differences between the full version and express, but I was under the impression it had to do with data storage capacity (Express is limited to 10GB).
Sep 24	comment	How to connect a dbo database through the add database server in ArcCatalog? I set up this connection last week with the Express version. It should be serverName\sqlserver2008. I think I just copied and pasted from SQL Server Management Tools.
Sep 24	comment	Need a spatial database that can be used by QGIS and R I can understand the need for a DB Front end that allows you to control user input, GUI. You'll definitely want to store the actual data in a spatially enabled DB, and potentially connect to it with Access if needed.
Sep 19	comment	Script for Editing TIN in Arcgis: modelbuilder works, when exported as script gives an error Post your script if you can.
Sep 17	comment	Way to script customization for ArcPad AXF file? Agreed sgrieve, any attempts at technical support from ESRI on ArcPad and they just push ArcGIS Mobile on you. It's crazy that they continue to sell a product that they have no intention of supporting.
Sep 13	comment	Python scripting for ArcPad Checkin This article says to do essentially what you've done: support.esri.com/es/knowledgebase/techarticles/detail/35586 I guess there just isn't any ArcPad module access through Python?
Sep 11	comment	How do you get the coordinates from a click or drag event in the Google Maps API V3? Mapperz example looks pretty good. I haven't used the GM API in a while, you might get a quicker answer on StackOverflow.
Sep 11	comment	How do you get the coordinates from a click or drag event in the Google Maps API V3? Sort of fuzzy on what you're trying to do, but within an event handler function you can use `evt.latLng` to grab coordinates
Aug 30	comment	ArcGIS 10 Field Calculator doesn't notice selection/Attribute Table problem? I found the opposite to be the case. I'd inadvertantly left one record selected and couldn't figure out why my field calc operation wasn't running on all fields. gis.stackexchange.com/questions/29235/…
Aug 24	comment	How do I access a multivalue output parameter from a python script in modelbuilder in ArcGIS 10.0? Looking at the script, it appears the `outputParam` var is being used to create a script Parameter than can insert the layer into the map (without the whole script I can't tell for sure). In all honesty, I find Modelbuilder to be convoluted and more difficult to work with than straight Python. I'd be happy to work with you on a Python solution, but I've only ever used Modelbulider for diagraming my analysis.
Aug 23	comment	Export each layer in map to a separate image Since the loop is only looping through layers in the map / in the list it's definitely not an infinite loop. Using this code I was able to turn off all layers in my mxd.
Aug 20	comment	Update USGS maps services reference Something like this?? Accessing High Resolution Orthoimagery (HRO) Map Services
Aug 20	comment	Update USGS maps services reference What was the WMS you were using?
Aug 20	comment	Export each layer in map to a separate image See updated script. My mistake I created a script that worked for me, but not all use cases last time. As I say in the script comment, the `arcpy.RefreshActiveView` may be unneccessary (try without it to see if the map exports correctly). If it's not needed things will run faster.
Aug 20	comment	Export each layer in map to a separate image it's a syntax error, should be `arcpy.ListDataFrames`
Aug 16	comment	Indoor Navigation Robot using OpenCV Gotcha, I thought you were proposing to drop them all together. This reminds me of my intro to engineering design course.
Aug 16	comment	Indoor Navigation Robot using OpenCV I think reference to 'real time' collision avoidance might include objects not mapped in the mapped layout of the room. For example if you randomly placed 5 chairs in the room could the robot avoid them?
Aug 15	comment	Creating a raster map using Excel file and calculating averages Depending on the density of your data, interpolation may be a much better way to go.
Aug 15	comment	Creating a raster map using Excel file and calculating averages You'd have to create a separate raster surface for each month's average temperature.
