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 Correct usage of a counter using arcpy.da.UpdateCursor
Thanks for all the tips. After changing the whereclause, it failed because it was expecting an integer but I'm actually testing for a string, so I changed it to %(l)s so it's fine. It now fails on the fact that is an invalid sql statement.

comment How to import DGN geometry into a file geodatabase?
I've been doing something similar this past week - created a model to iterate over the dgn files, select what I wanted and appended the features into the correct feature class within the gdb depending on file name. As PolyGeo mentioned, seeing as the coordinate systems were the same, I was able to append directly from the selection on my dgn into the correct feature class.

Results can be dragged and dropped between mxds and will be stored in the Shared session node.

@Ian ah yes, the solution for a myriad of problems with ArcMap - pull all your layers into a new mxd.

comment Altering ArcGIS RoadClass Driving Directions for Walking Network (Network Analyst)
I asked a similar question here. It seems like we are working on similar projects as when I search for a question, you seem to have asked it a few months prior to me. Did you manage to figure this out?

comment How does the geoprocessing results window store the tasks?
I did actually copy it over before I saw the renaming thing, I just found it quite irritating that I had taken the time to rename the results so that someone else could use the mxd, only to find everything reset. It could just be one of those things where if you use the same mxd for too long, things go weird :-/ which is why I normally use one mxd for 3 days max :(

It is not possible to rename the session, I am referring to if you right click the result in the window, it gives you the option to Rename that particular result. If this does not persist between sessions, then what is the point of having that option there?
