It Works!!!! Mike Heagin the mobile guru of AGRC created a mobile project and went outside the capitol and collected a few points, he called back to the office and Michael Foulger was able to see them in ArcMap!! Now we will try to polish the process! And post a bit more often on the progress.
Bookmarks allow you to quickly navigate to pre-defined geographic extent rectangles and can be extremely useful for data quality assessment when your data is located across a large area.
This script was developed to create an Area of Interest (AOI) bookmark that can be accessed from the View menu in ArcMap. It was written specifically to create a bookmark for each state highway, each highway's multiple parts (where the route is broken into discontiguous parts), and each part's start and end point
I used this against the SGID93.Transportation.UDOTRoutes_Calibrated_EP route layer but you could modify this to work with just about anything. To run, make sure the layer you want to generate the bookmarks from is at the top of the ArcMap Table of Contents (TOC). Paste the code and make modifications (sort field, buffer size for end points, the way the AOI name is generated, etc). Most of the length of this script is from handling multipart features differently...it could be greatly simplified as needed.
Bookmarks will be added so they can be viewed from both the Bookmark manager and the View-->Bookmarks menu item. Here are the results (at right).
Bookmark files can also be saved and loaded as .dat files through the ArcMap bookmark manager.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could take one of you python data objects and just "can it" to open up later? With the "pickle" library you can do just that.
I need to compare current data to historical data, so I make a dictionary of OID's with all attributes that looks something like this:
PK99999: (1059, 4, X, Y, etc, etc...) PK00001: (1259, 2, X, Y, etc, etc...)
So, I like to slurp this dictionary up into a pickle, then open it up a month later to compare against the current data.
The Provo 7.5? quadrangle covers east-central Utah Valley and includes Provo, the third largest city in Utah. Hobble Creek, the Provo River, and Spanish Fork are the primary streams in the quadrangle, flowing westward from the Wasatch Range to the Provo Bay portion of Utah Lake. U.S. Interstate Highway 15 extends from north to south through the map area. Included are two plates—a geologic map at 1:24,000 scale and an explanation sheet.

The Charleston quadrangle lies on the south edge of a structural and topographic saddle between the Wasatch Range and Uinta Mountains. The quadrangle includes the southern part of Heber City and Heber Valley and the northern half of Round Valley, as well as parts of Deer Creek Reservoir and Wasatch Mountain State Park. The quadrangle also straddles the north edge of the Charleston-Nebo thrust plate, and thus includes three distinct groups of rocks: (1) a nearly complete section of Pennsylvanian rocks of the Oquirrh Formation that comprises the Charleston thrust plate; (2) underlying, southeast-dipping Jurassic and Triassic strata below the Charleston thrust; and (3) Upper Proterozoic, Cambrian, and Mississippian strata that are exposed in a structurally complicated zone between the Charleston thrust and Deer Creek detachment faults. A variety of late Tertiary and Quaternary deposits record the evolution of the present landscape.
This geologic map and report provide basic geologic information necessary to further evaluate geologic hazards and resources in the area, and to gain an understanding of the geology upon which this landscape developed.
