Error Message when Deleting Features in Pro

MaggieWitmer

I recently imported an mxd containing enterprise geodatabase feature classes to an ArcGIS Pro project. The import seems to have been successful, but when I try to delete features from select feature classes I receive the following error message:

"Delete Selected Features Failed. The selection contains no editable features."

I opened a new Project and established a database connection to my sde, but received the same message when I brought in one of my feature classes and tried to delete a feature from it.

I cannot figure out why I am unable to edit features in my sde through Pro.

Hey Maggie,

Have you checked to make sure that the layer is editable in the contents pane? That's the only thing that I can think of off hand.

Hi Michael,

I have checked to make sure it is editable; however, I just noticed this symbol next to the layer I'm trying to edit:

When I hover my mouse over the icon, it says "Geometric Networks are not editable." I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the issue I'm experiencing...

Thank you for the suggestion!

You'll have to convert to a Utility Network in order to be able to edit.

Hi Michael,

Interesting, thank you for the information.

I have a call with ESRI customer support later today - will have to bring this up!

Hi Maggie, do you have a definition query on your feature class? if so try to turn it off before deleting any data. I just ran into this problem and this was the fix for me.

Hope this helps! Good luck.

SOLVED. There's talk of Geometric Networks and the Utility Network Management Extension in these replies, which i think solve other similar problems, but Maggie's issue, like mine, was much more simple, and all that was needed was to Upgrade the Dataset. Basically:

Save a copy of the feature's GDB just in case.
Apply the Upgrade Geodatabase tool to the original.
Apply the Upgrade Dataset tool to the original.
Features are now editable. Delete the copy if everything looks okay.

This is one of those cases where the Esri error is WAY too vague to be of any actual help.

You must make sure that the layer or table is editable

I have solved the same problem in a different way.

I have created a geodatabase, feature dataset and imported the shapefile as feature class. After that it becomes a good boy - no issue with editing.

One issue could be missing of projection information that is .PRJ file. Atleast I have had.

This usually happens because the features do not have a defined coordinate system.
