Hello!   Ive run into situation where I developed tools in ArcMap and need to run in Arc Pro (sometimes with some modifications).  One issue that I ran into is tools that had more complex calculations that required use of 'Code Blocks' (e.g. Calculate Field, Calculate Value, etc.), is when I opened in Pro, I no longer could see (or access) the code block (see first screen shot below).  However, if I hovered over the tool in modelbuilder, I could see the code in the popup (2nd screenshot).  If no changes were necessary, tool would run fine, but if I needed to made some change in the code block, I couldnt figure out how - very frustrating! Fortunately after a few deep breaths, I realized the issue and solution.  In ArcMap one of the selectable 'Expression Type's is 'PYTHON_9.3'.  In Pro that is not an option (just Arcade, Python, and VBScript).  To fix the issue, simply change the 'Expression Type' to "Python" and then you should be able to see the code block (3rd screenshot) Hope this saves frustation for others!

Hello, I often find myself getting data in a geodatabase format, and usually first thing I want to do is just get a basic sense of contents.  Im sure others do/feel the same way.  If you are not familiar with it, the XRay addon for ArcCatalog has been/is great for listing feature classes, fields, domains, etc.  The one thing it doesnt provide is feature counts.  I havent been able to find something lightweight and simple to get the feature count information as well, so just spent a few minutes and wrote a very low-tech python code snippet.  It will go through a geodatabase and print each feature class name, type, and number of records.  It will also total number of feature classes and total feature at end.  Attached is a python code snippet (I saved just as .txt file) that you can  load (or copy/paste) to run within Arc Pro or ArcMap in command line.  Just make sure to change reference to GDB on line 5.  Below is exerpt of results that I ran in Pro   ...

Hello I want to basically clear all values in an existing raster and then replace them with values from another raster, without writing to a new raster dataset.  It seem like basically all functions/tools write things to a new raster dataset.  For instance if I want to make all cells in an existing raster dataset to be equal to 100 is there a tool/process without writing to a new raster?   Thanks! ...

Hello, I have a dashboard with several indicators that show the numbers of features in the current zoom extent (one for each data source).  I would like to have a separate indicator that basically sums up all the individual indicator.  I have been successful in creating a custom data expression to total all the features in the individual layers, however, since that is pulling directly from the feature layer using the 'FeatureSetByID' function.  Is there a way in a data expression for it to reference the return valued in another widget/indicator in the dashboard.  Attached is a annotated graphic that gives context           ...

Hello, Over the years I have built many script tools to run in Arc Toolbox within ArcMap.  These tools have run fine for years with no issue.  Several months ago (or maybe longer) I noticed often when I double-click the script to to open/run, there is a new message that Ive never saw before that says ' Click error and warning icons for more information' (see screenshot below).  However, there are no errors or warnings (when I click the yellow ribbon it goes away).  What is more problematic, some script tools that have lots of parameters now take extremely long to initialize (i.e. just open the form with the parameters) - sometimes as much as 7+ minutes.  Most of these tools do not have any special validation defined (in 'Validation' tab), so not sure why it takes so long.  Any thoughts/pointers on what may be contributing to this would be greatly appreciated.  I am running ArcMap 10.6.1 on Windows 10 (but that hasnt changed for a few years).  Thanks Neal   ...

Hello, Ive noticed that when I try to project a flow direction raster (D8 format) it sometimes changes values of the cells and makes the output flow direction raster not work.  Im keeping same cell size (but switching units).  Im assuming this has something to do when how raster is interpolated (Im using Nearest).  Anyone have idea/suggestion to force values to stay the same?   Thanks neal ...
