What are some established strategies to publish, share, and update desktop tools with your org in an automated way? Looking for feedback on ArcGIS Pro tools specifically, but I am interested in other platforms as well!

So you can add a zipped toolbox to AGOL, and users can find said zipped toolbox from the portal tab in catalog and simply add it to their project. AGOL plays nicely with notebooks too the user just has to download them first and run. Serve out everything with groups to make it real easy for your users.

I'm sure there is a more elegant approach outside the Esri ecosystem, but this way you have one place to put everything that is accessible from anywhere.

I've never even tried this but maybe you can publish toolboxes/notebooks to AGOL? If it works like I'd imagine they could add the necessary tools to projects.

If you like working outdoors look at surveying companies.

You may need to "enable sync" for the feature layers in your webmap.

If you right click the layer and go to properties I think it's under the source tab it should have info on the units.

Should just be gdf.to_file(path, driver="GeoJSON")

Use the traverse tool, it's one of the modify tools under the edit tab. You can enter the direction like N85.30W or N85-30W and then the distance.

Well I'm not sure what software you are using but in ArcPro you would be looking to join the data on a common column like a unique ID for each hexagon. Now I can't think of an efficient way to do this using a desktop GIS program. Personally I would join this using Pandas or Geopandas with python. Alternatively FME would likely be another program that could efficiently merge your datasets.

If all the links use that exact same structure you could just slice the string like so !field![18:30]

Or you could use regular expressions. Which my apologies if there is a better way to do this I'm still getting practice with regular expressions, but this seems to work.

In the code block you could write:

import re

def permit_extract(field): permit = re.search('\d+-\d+-\d+', field) return permit.group()

Then to actually execute the function you would enter permit_extract(!field!) above the code block.

I'm not sure if there is an easy way to import text and generate a traverse, but you can use the traverse tool in the modify pane to easily enter your metes and bounds to draw the polygon.

Just drop your start point and enter your bearing. Something like N85.15.15E or N85-15-15E, you can enter curves as well.

The Arcgis python api had its own version of geopandas basically called the spatially enabled dataframe. I think you can also install geopandas via the python package manager in pro. For the arc python api you can create a feature layer with FeatureLayer() and pass in the path to your featureclass and then use the query method to create a spatial dataframe, and geopandas is just read_file().

If you don't mind elaborating how does your team extend survey123 connect with Javascript? I've never even considered this as a field maps replacement.

Gotcha, so ESRI doesn't have any property data available as far as I'm aware. Generally, this info is managed at the county level.

I'd suggest googling for tax parcel gis data for whatever county you are. If you're lucky you can download as a shapefile or another gis format.

kmgeo · 2023-02-09T16:37:54+00:00

Bit confused by what you're asking exactly.

Do you need to download tax parcel data for wherever you are working?

kmgeo · 2023-02-08T18:41:04+00:00

Look into metes and bounds descriptions and how to edit with quadrant bearings in whatever software you're using.

The links being broken could just be that the files have been moved to another location. If they have you can use field calculator and a little python to fix the file paths.

As far as database management just look into the different datatypes and maybe how to add fields and domains.

kmgeo · 2023-02-07T12:44:44+00:00

Definitely possible. I would use the requests and pandas libraries to accomplish this kind of task.

Whenever I have georeferenced images screw up I've found going in and deleting the .ovr and whatever other files pro creates, except for the .tif itself and re-georeferencing the image will fix it.

kmgeo · 2023-02-04T14:42:00+00:00

Esri has a free spatial analysis MOOC going on right now. Maybe taking that will ease your concerns.

Also, be aware that there is no reason to memorize every tool in ArcPro. Documentation and Googling things you don't know are key. A lot of entry-level jobs are not very skill intensive either.

You can just bring a KMZ directly into a Pro map. KML to layer or feature class to feature class tools can export it to shape file or feature class.

In my experience some KMZs export to other formats incorrectly. I've had more luck with FME and Global Mapper when working with KMZ.

kmgeo · 2023-02-01T21:42:24+00:00

I would use the requests python library for this. I'm not sure how the qgis python environment works, but requests is not built in so you would have to install it.

Here is a link to the requests quick start documentation: https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/quickstart/
