So I have been playing with 3D editing in ArcGIS Pro. During this I have stumbled on something I am not sure if it is a bug or intentional or just me doing something wrong. In a 2D map, I can set the Z mode so it will use the ground surface or any other surface I have to generate the Z coordinates for new features I create. However when I try to create new features in a 3D Scene, that option under Z Mode is grayed out and I cannot get it to activate. So I have to draw in a 2D map, then look at it in a 3D scene to make sure I am drawing it so the entire feature is visible above ground. This seems like extra work.   ... View more

In ArcMap if I make a legend bigger or smaller the contents will scale proportionally. This makes it very simple to ensure the legend is legible and in proportion to the rest of the map. In ArcGIS Pro, when I make the legend larger the contents maintain the size they were when the legend was created. They do not automatically scale. I have not found a setting which enables this functionality. You instead must make adjustments to all the various elements within the legend to get them to change size. While this provides much greater control over those elements, it is much more difficult and time consuming. Maybe having a check box to provide the automatic scaling as an option or just make it work like it did in ArcMap. #ArcGIS Pro #Layouts legend management ... View more

I have been playing with project templates and noticed a behavior that seems dangerous to me. If I create a template that has a map with layers in it and I use that template to create a new project, instead of just referencing the original data ArcGIS Pro creates a copy of that data in a new geodatabase with the same name as the original. There is no warning it has created this copy. If you are paying close attention, you will not realize you are working on a copy of the data.   It would make more sense for the template to reference the new project and maps back to the original data source unless otherwise indicated via an option or something. I should point out I am working entirely with file geodatabases and have not tested this on an SDE database.   ... View more

So I think I have found a bug or issue with ArcGIS Pro 1.2. I was trying to create a layer package using a layer which contains a definition query. The Create Layer Package tool generates a General Function Error every time and so does the create Map Package tool. All the required metadata is entered for the layer and the analysis tool does not indicate a problem. If I export the layer with the definition query to a new feature class/layer that contains only the features that displayed using the definition query (basically removing the need for the definition query but now having two feature classes), the Layer Package is successful. So is this a bug,  the way it is suppose to work or me doing something wrong? ... View more

So i have a map withing an ArcGIS Pro project which contains a sewer line layer. I want to apply our standard symbology to this layer which allows me to identify the size and pipe material for each sewerline. I already have a layer file saved (both a lyr and a lyrx) which have the symbology settings predefined. When I try to import the symbology settings from the layer files, the layer ends up being symbolized using only one field even though I specified both the size and materials fields in the geoprocessing tool. If I add the the layer file directly as a new layer everything displays correctly. So is anyone else having this issue?  ... View more
