    The ability to display hatches and hatch labeling from a PolyLine M shapefile or geodatabase feature is not supported in web mapping services.  This is a standard linear referencing function ins ArcGIS desktop but does not transfer to a published map service.

    Hatch labeling is widely used by many industries; seismic lines, well paths and pipeline in Petroleum and transportation.  I would like for this function to be added to map services.

    Here is an example of the error message.

    Route Hatch Error

    Conversely, could a listing of all desktop software functions that do not transfer to web mapping be made available?

    We create the map symbology and ArcGIS Server service for our transit department.  There are ~ 20 to 25 routes.  Along certain busy locations, there can be as many as 9 routes that overlap.  Currently we use line offsets to make sure that all routes are visible.  This can be tricky, since changing the offset to make a line visible in one location can make it disappear behind another line in a different location, causing a domino effect.  It has been suggested to me to use cartographic representations, but we can't do this since we are not the owners of the data.  It also doesn't fix the bigger problem of addressing route changes/additions.  Since bus service is expanding here, routes are occasionally moved or added, causing us to do a lot of symbology work.  I would like to see a tool that disperses line symbology where there are coincident routes, but leaves it as is (on the centerline) when it is the only route.

    It would be nice if there is a possibility to make a join from one table to more than one field in another table.

    For instance: our organization maintains long distance biking routes in our country. Volunteers inspect these routes. Some volunteers inspect more than one route. In the attribute table these volunteers have more fields with in each field one name of the route they inspect.
    We want to join our routes with the information in the attribute table of our volunteer feature class. Even if a volunteer has more than one route to inspect (so more than one field is filled with a value in the attribute table). The fields in the volunteer table are all filled with different values.

    In ArcGIS 10.1 you can set QUERY parameter on whole map service which controls if user can query or not (whole service).
    Often in the organisation I would like to set this indiviually on layer instead.
    Reason is that in the same map service I often have layers that belongs to the same area of interests but not all of them shall be querable. Today I need to publish several service for this purpose which complicates my workflow.

    The map services is consumed from a web based application using ArcGIS Javascript API.

    Best Regards

    It would be quite handy to add an attribute to a map's layout in the form of Dynamic Text.  For example, consider a state transportation map which depicts the maintenance responsibilities of 15 different transportation crews.  Adding the phone number of each crew's supervisor to the legend would greatly enhance the value of the map, but if it is added as a static annotation, you run a very high risk of failing to update the field--phone numbers change frequently.  Using the legend to express the number is feasible, but requires legend manipulation that is a bit tedious.

    Lots of jurisdictions are using Google Transit to provide a public tool to help citizens plan public transportation trips.  It would be great if Esri would provice a solution using the Local Government Informaton model along with a desktop and mobile web application for end users.

    I did use the Frequency tool to process the intersected data in my Python  script for data validation with ArcMAP 9.3.
    Now my script does not work anymore because this tool is not licensed on ArcMap 10.1 .

    I find the Frequency tool to be indispensable for my applications.

    Allow more than two reference points when georeferencing cad files. Make it more like georeferencing an image. Make it so that you can use unlimited reference points.

    If you have had event data collected along a linear route against the digitized direction of your line it will be displayed in a reverse order when you run the create route events tool. It would be nice if there was a suite of tools added to the linear referencing tools designed for editing the underlying event table used to make your route event layer. To correct this particular problem mentioned above you could flip the event data so that it now reflects how the data is in the real world along your linear feature.

    To illustrate my point see the attached diagram. Let's say you have a road that is 100 m long and the road crew reports an event @ 5m, 40m, and 75m. The crew collected the data against the digitize direction of your road so you need a way to reverse your values. It would be nice if there was a way to quickly get the values such as a Flip Events Tool. This tool will recalculate the values so that in this case they would now be @ 95m, 60m, and 25m in the event data table. Now the events will show up properly where they should be.

    I strongly prefer keeping the scale bar dynamic; this reduces potential for error and allows more rapid revision should a client request a new scale.  However, the decimal expression of fractional values is offensive to the eye; we have a strong preference for 1/2, as opposed to 0.5.

    When working with annotation (dataframe or layer-based) or graphics in the layout view, a pasted copy lands close to the original.  This is frustrating, because more often than not, the new pasted annotation/graphic actually belongs somewhere else on the map entirely, and given varying scales, you may need to zoom in significantly in order to place it appropriately.  All too often, I find myself copying, then zooming out to find the next desired placement, then zooming in, then pasting, and thinking, "where the heck is it?"  Then I have to zoom out, find where it went, zoom in to grab it, then laboriously pan it over to where I really want it. 

    Which leads me to another point that has probably been made by others ahead of me: please, please disallow the graphic/annotation selection tool to select/manipulate the dataframe!

    Thank you!

    Currently if I want to show the direction of a line feature I have two choices:
    • Set up symbology for the layer with an arrow decoration on a cartographic symbol
    • Start editing the feature class and then the particular feature to show the edit sketch
    Both options are a lot of work if I just quickly want to check one feature, and I'm not going to be reviewing a lot of features. The second option isn't even available to me if I want to see the line direction of a featuer in a feature class that I don't have privileges to edit.

    I would like to be able to hove over a feature and hit a keyboard shortcut (like "L" or ">") to have an arrowhead temporarily show the feature direction, kind of like using "V" to show feature vertices (except that option is only available during editing). Or if a keyboard shortcut has implementation problems, how about adding a tool like the Identify tool?

    To create clean, consistent layouts, consider an align to guides whereby you could center a graphic between two guides.  This way, you could set guides at certain intervals, and center graphic items along the same imaginary line, regardless of disparities in the graphics' sizes or shapes.  Thank you!

    Roadway files include many symbol classifications (Interstate, US Highway, State Highways, Local Roads, Ramps, etc.), each of these have a different symbology (color, thickness, label) AS WELL AS a different label (Interstate shield, US Highway shield, State Highway shield, local road name, or <null>).

    When saving symbology as a layer file (.LYR) the label settings are not included, so I have to re-work label settings every time. It's very frustrating and a waste of time.

    Please allow us to select more than one bookmark from a folder when loading saved bookmarks into an mxd.  If you want to add 50 existing bookmarks, you currently need to load them each individually.

    Actually when a VRP analysis is being made, the capacity of orders of the depots are unlimited. This isn't happend in real live, so I think is a parameter that should be taking into account to make these analysis.

    I would like to see a function like Point Distance implemented, but adjusting distance based on polygon obstructions.  The idea would be similar to a cost path for grids, but working on the basis of vector geometries, and generating a matrix of output values.  The distance matrix could then be fed into other operations (e.g. advanced spatial sorting and clustering).  Note - this is a little different from a Network Analyst problem in that the points aren't connected by routes (unless you want to create a visibility graph and apply Dijkstra's algorithm, in which case the request would be for tools that could construct such a visibility graph efficiently from point locations and polygon obstacles).

    Good Day!

    We have two intersecting roads with similar names - Argonne Road and Argonne Lane.

    If someone tries to geocode the intersection of those two roads- they receive many false results because the geocoder returns intersections of the first street with itself and the second street with itself.

    For instance, if a user enters "Argonne Rd & Argonne Ln", the results include the following:

    N Argonne Rd & N Argonne Rd
    N Argonne Ln & N Argonne Ln

    and so on...

    It seems that the geocoding rules should be modified so that a user cannot receive matches for the "intersection" of a road with itself since that is not a true intersection.

    Thanks,
    Shawna

    It is absolutely rediculous that ESRI is attempting to charge for its geocoding services moving forward and forcing users who don't want an ArcGIS Online Subscription to use the geocoder in the Data & Maps folder that is always so out of date it is nearly unusuable. This move is forcing my organization to move out geocoding processes out of ArcMap and to third party vendors. Why ESRI would get rid of the 10.1 North American Geocoding Service is beyond me.

    We can utilize different clients APIs to render the RSS feed as graphics on client side. But it requires coding efforts. It would be nice to add an easy to configure task to do so. This is very useful for public safety or transportation purpose since they need real time information.
