I have a Bachelor of Science in Applied Geoinformatics, with my main areas of study being Geography and Environmental Studies, GIS, Computer Science and Information Systems. I have always had a passion for computers and geography, so studying and working in the GIS field has given me the best of both worlds.

My questions/answers will be written in South African (UK) English - please do not "correct" my spelling.

comment ArcGIS 10.1 Model cannot be transferred between Win7 and Win8 machines
The permissions could be the issue, as I have full admin rights on both Windows 7 and Windows 8 PCs.

comment ArcGIS 10.1 Model cannot be transferred between Win7 and Win8 machines
I have to disagree with your above comment (see my answer to this question). On a daily basis I work with models syncing between my Win 8 Pro 64 bit and Win 7 Enterprise 64 bit computers, without an issue. Your comment is a blanket statement, when it should be "It appears that the model cannot be transferred between platforms" in your particular situation. If it works in a different scenario, then (theoretically) it should be able to work for other people as well.

comment importing coordinates via a csv file does not work
What software do you have available? You seem to be implying you have ArcMap, but which version? How was the data captured?

comment Search cursor stops selecting after two iterations
@artwork21 ArcMap now crashes after running the first two selections successfully. Actually, now that I've placed the del row object in the same place it was before, it still crashes after running the first two selections!

comment Search cursor stops selecting after two iterations
A colleague took the same script and ran it in ArcMap 10, and it worked, no adjustments made. I tried running it from Eclipse and I got the same issue. It seems like it was by chance that the script worked once last week, after about the 5th try, and has not worked correctly since.

@artwork21 It still only runs the first two rows, exports the images, and then finishes executing.

@Kevin there is no selection on the layer, when it did work last week I ran it inside a blank mxd so the layer was not present.

@artwork21 I've checked and realised I did not have that in my script, although it ran fine without it last week. I'll add in del row now and check if it works.

comment Using matplotlib to create and export graphs automatically from ArcMap
My main concern was performing the conditional colouring of the chart (point 3 of my workflow), but now that you have pointed it out that I can do it in Python (that should have been more obvious to me), matplotlib is looking more promising. Also I didn't mean that I would use VBA with Excel, I was just mentioning that I had done VBA, so translating it into python would have a been a bit easier. I don't have the sample data yet which is why I couldn't really explain more of what I want to do, but I think your way is the way to go.

comment Symbology count in database form
While this method would work, it is unnecessary to leave the ArcGIS environment to calculate a count based on unique values.
