Disperse Markers tool not working

Brenda_Thompson

I am using ArcGIS Pro 2.4.0

Regardless of the environment and parameter settings I use, when I run the disperse markers tool on my point feature layer, the operation is "completed", and yet there is no change to the display of the points. Coordinate system used is the map's coordinate system. The reference scale used is the denominator of the scale in the bottom left hand corner of my map, for which I would like the points to be scaled to.

Am I missing something here?

is that distance spacing appropriate for that scale? It looks like it should be higher or the scale lower. Measure 30 km on screen and the point spacing of a cluster of points to see if it is reasonable

Not related but ArcGIS Pro 2.4.x June 2019. It's a rather old release of ArcGIS Pro. The current release is 3.1 and has a lot of workflow improvements. Are you able to update to the current release?

I have tried using dramatic numbers (like 500km) for the distance spacing and this also yields no displacement of the points.

I there. I guess it's solved but for the futur ones, try to add just that layer in a new map and turn on the edit mode. It worked for me.

Hi I tried this but didn't seem to work, could you go into a bit more detail? been stuck on this for hours now.

This happens occasionally to me, it works multiple times one day, then doesn't the next for no apparent reason (although I am sure there is a hidden/un-noticeable buggy reason.) Came here for answers today and randomly stumbled upon something that worked for me.

How I get it to work is to click on the Edit tab and then click on "discard edits" then retry. This might hurt if you have made other numerous edits prior, so you might want to instead "Save edits" and try again.

Hope this help.
