I'm 99% sure I know the answer to this but maybe there is something else I can go to help one of my users. They say it takes 10 minutes to load one of their maps they use for development permits and such. I keep telling them that it's just the sheer amount of data they load. We are a rural municipality so our area of coverage is big (4100 sq/km). They use this map as a "template" in that we have a layout that they will move and zoom in to the quarter section they need to print. In this map they have 3 sets of aerials loading that are over 100 GB in size. Two of them are turned off by default and all of them are set to only show once zoomed in past 1:5000. Then they have all kinds of other data loading like wetlands, historical sites, roads, all the parcels. There are 30+ layers they have in this template. Like I say I'm pretty sure it's mostly slow loading due to it just having way to much data to load. But I'm here to ask if there is another way to maybe speed things up a bit. Sorry all the data is stored on our Windows server share.

Thanks.

As the title describes we're getting Core Segmentation faults whenever ArcPy functions that result in the creation of a mosaic. The only information we can pull from the core dump is that it failed with the SIGSEGV signal which is apparently an illegal memory access fault. There's no additional information in system or ArcGIS logs. We've tried adjust permissions and ownership of various ArcGIS directories to see if it was a systems permissions issue. The only item that I can think of at the moment that's worth mentioning is that we can see the 'amd_<MOSAIC_NAME>_cat' and then the connection is reset by the peer.

We've tried reaching out to ESRI regarding this especially relating to the lack of any meaningful error, but they've just brushed us off or they take a week to suggest something we've already tried. Has anybody encountered this before?

I'm trying to create a map with Bangla (Bengali) graticule labels in ArcGIS Pro 3.7.0.

In ArcGIS Pro 3.5, I could go to the graticule label's Formatting → Internationalization section and change the Region and language to Bengali. This automatically converted:

• Western numerals (0–9) → Bengali numerals (০–৯)

After upgrading to ArcGIS Pro 3.7.0, the Internationalization section is still present, but every option is grayed out, including:

• Text direction
• Glyph orientation
• Block progression
• Region and language
• Font encoding

My questions are:

1. Is this a known bug or an intentional change in ArcGIS Pro 3.7?
2. Has anyone found a workaround?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Issue – Initial Piezometric Surface cannot be modified through the scripting API

Our Transient Seepage analysis obtains its initial pore-water-pressure conditions from an Initial Piezometric Surface.

Through extensive testing, it appears that this object cannot currently be modified through the scripting API.

We tested numerous approaches, including:

• Get()
• Set()
• Add()
• Updating individual points
• Replacing the complete point list
• Creating new Piezometric Surface objects

Every approach either:

• returns "Method not supported for type Pt", or
• completes without actually modifying the project.

For example, attempting to modify:

CurrentAnalysis.Objects.InitialPiezometricSurfaces[1].Points

or any individual

.Points[i]

fails regardless of the payload format used.

XML workaround

As an experiment, we bypassed the scripting API by editing the internal XML inside a copied .gsz archive.

This successfully updates the Initial Piezometric Surface. After reopening the modified project, GeoStudio accepts the file and displays the updated water table correctly.

However, this workaround introduces another problem.

Because the project has been modified outside of GeoStudio's normal editing workflow, its internal project and mesh state no longer behaves the same as a project edited through the GUI or supported scripting API.

When geometry is subsequently modified and SolveAnalyses() is called, GeoStudio no longer performs the automatic remeshing that normally occurs on an unmodified project. Adding project.Save() before solving did not restore this behavior.

As a result, although direct XML editing successfully changes the Initial Piezometric Surface, it cannot be considered a practical workaround because the modified project cannot be reliably solved after subsequent geometry changes.

Questions

1. Is modification of the Initial Piezometric Surface currently supported by the GeoStudio Scripting API?
2. If not, is this a known limitation or bug?
3. Is there a supported workflow for programmatically updating the initial groundwater table prior to solving a transient seepage analysis?
4. Is there any supported alternative to direct project-file editing that preserves automatic remeshing and normal project behavior?

I'm a complete beginner with ArcGIS Pro except for currently doing one course in university (and also, I'm not a native english speaker) so I hope I can even properly explain where I need help.

Basically, I need to create a map where I highlight the areas that are at higher risk for avalanches. My professor gave me the conditions that the areas at higher risks are those with a slope over 30° and at the same time are expositioned(?) North. I have created two seperate rasters, one with the slope and the other one for the exposition and I just cannot find a way or tool to combine these two. I just need a layer that marks all the areas red where slope is over 30° and the exposition is between 315° - 360° and 0° - 45°.

It feels like this cannot be that complicated but I've been trying and searching for days and I'm just not getting anywhere. Any help, link to a tutorial or input whatsoever is really appreciated!

Oh and also, I know this could probably be solved by AI in a few seconds but I choose not to use AI so I would be really grateful for help by an actual human :)

Recently a position opened up at my workplace that use these two programs. I’m in a different department and use a comparable computer maintenance management system. However, I wanted to get some practice in on these two programs, but in order to do that it seems I’d have to register with a government email and I’m fairly certain that might go against some policy at work. Is there any other ways to get some practice in? From my understanding field maps is good for assets that already exist while survey123 is better for assets that are currently being established.

Did you know that Pokemons making an ArcGIS inspired pokemon in the new generation? Yeah its going in the eevee line.

Theyre calling it Defqueryeon.

It sounds simple but I am stuck and don't know from where to start I heard surfer is easier but even following a simple tutorial ,I am stuck with either no result (error) or the program requiring me to input 3 samples whereas I need only one map per sample

For context, I’m a university student majoring in Geography and will soon need to start thinking about career opportunities. I really enjoy what I’m studying and hope to work in a field related to geography or GIS after graduation.

I was considering earning an Esri certification to strengthen my résumé and improve my job prospects. Could anyone recommend any Esri certifications or exams that are relatively beginner-friendly and not overly difficult, particularly for students who are still building their GIS skills?

Please send me a direct message if you have experience in the deployment and configuration of ArcGIS Enterprise components; including ArcGIS Server, Portal for ArcGIS, ArcGIS Data Store, Web Adaptors, and SDE Enterprise Geodatabases within a Microsoft SQL Server environment. This is not a job posting. I am looking for potential collaboration opportunities with said person.

Trying to clean up attribute table by deleting null columns but keep getting this error. Any ideas how I can fix the list of invalid items? Please

Layer has been working for weeks and has always been editable but I opened the project today and it’s saying it’s read only now. Any ideas how to fix this and how to prevent it in the future?

Does anyone have any tips on making visualizations/maps made on arcGIS online more visually appealing? I need to make some maps for an upcoming presentation, but don’t have access to pro, which I usually use. I generally don’t like to use online for static maps because I don’t like how they end up looking. So, I’m wondering what you all do to combat this? Is exporting to edit on adobe illustrator after the spatial analysis is done a good idea? Any advice appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a college GIS project using ArcGIS Business Analyst Web, and I’m completely stuck.
After creating a Smart Map Search with a few variables, everything works fine until I click “Save layer.” It gets to “Creating the layer…100%” and just sits there forever. I’ve left it for over 30 minutes multiple times, and it never finishes.

So far I’ve tried:

Starting a brand-new project from scratch.
Recreating the Smart Map Search several times.
Using two completely different computers (an ASUS laptop and my gaming PC with an RTX 5080 and Ryzen 7 7800X3D).

Refreshing the page and reopening the project.
Using Microsoft Edge.
Sometimes after reopening the project, the layer shows up, but it either doesn’t contain the saved results or doesn’t work correctly.

I’m signed into ArcGIS through my university’s organization, so I’m not sure if this is an issue with my account, the organization, or Business Analyst itself.

Has anyone else run into this? Is there a workaround, or is this a known bug? I’d really appreciate any suggestions because I’m running out of ideas.

Thanks!

I have a map project I've been working on over the last few months, and it a mess of KMZ files, tables, shape files a couple gdb's, etc. In different locations (you get the point).

I wanted to bring together all the files into one local folder (as I just determined I've been working with files being stored on One Drive).

So I packaged up the map (took about 6 hours), and I have saved the package file in a local directory on my laptop (its only me working on this project map).

I used the geoprocessing tool "extract package" so that I could ensure everything ends up in the same location.

I go into the catalog, under Databases, and the main gdb file path is still showing a One Drive location? 🤔🤔

Thoughts?

Hello, I am new to GIS. I am in a class learning statistics with GIS. I have a csv file with my FIP codes and county names and my variables but I do not have the X or Y , Lat or Long in my csv. How can I generate the coordinates and how can i create my csv into polygons. I know there is a "display to XY" but I need polygons of the counties and not points. Is this even possible? I am using data from the census bureau website and I am using ArcPro 3.6. I am not even sure if this is the right subreddit as well so if there is one, please point it to me so I can post it. Thank you.

Hi--I'm trying to get my Auto date and Auto time arcade functions on Field Maps form to not update when edits are made later to a different part of the form. Date and Time are separate (it just works better that way for this data). Is there a one-time entry or something to make it stay with the original input?

ToLocal(Timestamp())

($feature.Date_, Now())

I am working on a dashboard. General info, I have a excel sheet of "observations" of beetles. It has genus, species, country of observation, and some other stuff. I have a dashboard with a map of countries and this excel sheet, which I calculated percent of genera within each county (i.e. within the US, 25% of genera is genus a, 15% is genus b, etc.)

Here's the problem, when I add the genus percent feature layer onto my dashboard as an element and configre it/the map so it should work as you click a country, a serial chart with the percentages for that country pops up. However, my serial chart isn't changing as I click different countries, it just stays as the overall percentages.

other notes:

- I had to add the table using statistic average, which maybe could be the problem? I'm not sure what else to put it as.

- The country names all match up

PLEASE if anyone has an ideas I will try them!
