On the order of about 40-50 projects per year, I create a discrete database for each project while using standardized layout and data layer access connections (across folders and public servers). The project file is not shared and remains on the originating computer. In ArcMap this was accomplished by merely saving a previous project to a new file name and redirecting project-specific data layer links to newly created data files (database or shapefiles).
In Pro (2.9.0) when I attempt to create a project template for a single machine the routine executes, but template file size reaches 18 gigs.
Is there a way to accommodate the previous method in GIS Pro, including generation of a new blank database specific to the new project?
Thank you!
