I would like to be able to set the selection symbology for individual polygon layers. Specifically, if selected features have a hatched fill, solid fill, or no fill. It was a feature in ArcMap: This idea has been proposed before, see here: ArcGIS Pro: symbology for selected polygons However, in my opinion it was only…
We have a python script that imports AutoCAD DWG files to SDE feature classes. These DWG files are created by various 3rd parties and are transmitted to us for import. One of the steps in our import process is to create a PRJ file for the DWG. Mostly, this works fine but about 5% of the DWG's have a problem when trying to…
In ArcGIS Online, the new Status Dashboard provides a list of the top 100 items using the most storage credits. Is there a way to view/ export storage credit use for all items in the organization?
