Hello all. I am stuck on a problem that impacts my VERY simplistic mapmaking.
I make static, textbook style maps in ArcGISPro. In a layout I have an overlay map with an extent indicator, a scale bar, and a compass arrow. Any points, lines, etc are populated on a "working map" layer. The layout has been fine up until this week.
The problem is that the overlay map on the layout is see through, but only on the land. The picture below shows this: what you see is a zoomed in view that shows "Los Angeles" visible through the land, but not the oceans, in the map overlay.
All group layers with maps are 0% opaque and Layer Blends are "Normal," and the overlay is the topmost item in the contents pane. Map layers are "Charted Territory Base".
I have tried a quick fix and put a white shadow behind this to "lift" it off the map and create another layer below, but it is always offset when I print the layout as a PDF. Same as exporting.
What is happening?
