Whether you are an ArcGIS Online subscriber or an ArcGIS Hub user, you can launch an open data site in 3 steps, which include configuring and designing the site and making it public. Check out ESRI’s post about it here.
Ever need to export your feature attributes or a table to a CSV file when using ArcGIS Desktop? There are a few ways to do it. Here are four (plus an extra):
Option 1: Table to Excel to CSV
This procedure uses the Table to Excel tool, then Microsoft Excel to convert to CSV.
The Table to Excel tool is located in the Conversion Tools toolbox.
If your organization participates in LARIAC, then you probably know that right now you have Early Access to the 2017 imagery (both orthos and obliques) in Pictometry’s online CONNECTExplorer application. Keep in mind the Early Access imagery still has work to be done on it, but at least you can take a look at the new stuff while they are working on it.
One thing you can do is bring some of the ortho imagery into your ArcGIS Desktop environment. Here are the simple steps to do so:
The GeoTIFF images are actually using geographic coordinates (WGS84), but they reproject very well into State Plane.
This is a very quick way to bring in the new 2017 Early Access imagery into your maps if you need to. As the imagery is cleaned up and worked on to create preliminary images, there will be map services setup for you to consume in your applications. But for now, you can use these steps. Enjoy! -mike
If you have converted your ArcGIS Pro licenses from Online to Concurrent Use, you must upgrade your ArcGIS Licenses Manager to 10.5.1 to use ArcGIS Pro 2.0. There is a GeoNet article on how to do it. Enjoy!
Looking to do a little prediction mapping using logistic regression in ArcGIS and the R environment … I thought so! This stuff makes my head ache, however if you are interested there is a series of videos that will step you through it. Check it out!

Back in December 2013 I posted about using the field calculator in ArcMap to calc a field to the third word from another field. Since then, the comments section has been pretty active with questions and answers. I thought it would be a great time to expand on that with other nifty field calculator tricks that I have used over the years.
This one I use a lot. I have a field that contains parcel number data. In LA County, parcel numbers are 10 digit numbers that represent the assessor book (first 4 numbers), page (next 3 numbers), and lot number (last 3 numbers). I want to split them out into their own fields. Here is how I do it.
Here is an interesting article about using a drawing option in ArcMap called Match To Symbols. By naming a feature attribute with the same symbol name that is in a style, you can quickly symbolize them for feature categories. Click below to read.
This is just like when us old school GIS types used a field to store a symbol number to symbolize our points, lines, and polygons!
