I strongly agree with ShaunDillon1, and regard this as one of the most annoying things in Pro. I always remove everything from the legend and then add the layers I want. I guess one option for us is to remove the Legend from our templates, and add the legend manually after opening the template. If this behavior is by design, then I think it is a poor design. Why not add this to Options, so the user can choose?   If this behavior is by design, then it ... View more

Agreed.  In Pro 2.2, our company's default project template was listed under "Select a project template" along with the standard templates: "Blank", "Global_Scene", "Local_Scene" and "Map".  This was achieved by putting the aptx under C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\Resources\ProjectTemplates. In 2.3 and 2.4, our project template is no longer visible, and the user has to know the location of the project template and navigate to it. This causes unnecessary confusion among our users. ...

The option to disable running the script "in process" was an option in ArcMap, I have not seen this in ArcGIS Pro. I have also tried to use multiprocessing.set_executable(os.path.join(sys.exec_prefix, 'python.exe')) The code executed without errors, and produced the expected results. BUT, I ended up having several python windows open, and they did not disappear until I closed ArcGIS Pro. My solution: As I mentioned earlier, multiprocessing in my case are taken place in existing python modules. I ended up calling these from the code behind my script tool using subprocess: cmd = '"' + os.path.join(sys.exec_prefix, 'python.exe" "'C:\temp\ScriptUsingMultiprocessing.py"') completed = subprocess.run(cmd, shell=True) This starts the code with multiprocessing, and waits until it is completed before moving on. Works perfectly! ... View more

Hi, I struggle with the same problem, having a script tool which inserts new points to an existing feature class in ArcSDE using an Insert Cursor. The new points do not automatically appear on the map. One interactive workaround for me is to choose "List by data source", selecting the ArcSDE connection and on the Versioning tab click "Refresh". This is not very user friendly though. Another workaround is to "change" the version of the Feature layer to the same version it is in (see code below). This works, but is way too slow (30 sec). def refreshMap(layerName):    p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('current')    m = p.listMaps("MainMap")[0]    for l in m.listLayers("*"):       if l.longName == layerName:          conProp = l.connectionProperties          arcpy.ChangeVersion_management(l, 'TRANSACTIONAL', conProp['connection_info']['version']) Please give us a way to refresh the map! ...

Are you referring to SP3/4 for Desktop or WMX? We have the issue too and Im pretty sure its still occuring on Desktop SP4+WMX SP4. It does seem to be machine specific though as I never have the issue. Trevor I am referring to the SP versions for both Desktop and WMX. To check this once more, I opened a job from WMX, and ArcMap actually opened! Then I closed ArcMap and opened the job again from WMX - and this time it did not open. The logfile telles the same story as usual: "JTXExtension.PrepareMXD: Sleeping while waiting for ArcMap UI to be initialized" This is on the machine with SP4 for Desktop and WMX. ... View more

I do not have any extensions or secured layers that should prevent ArcMap from opening. I have opened the same job on a different machine, and saved the mxd to disk. This mxd opens perfectly on my machine. So the mxd itself seems to be ok, but launching it from WorkflowManager is a problem. The only difference between these machines is that I have 10.0 SP 4 installed and the other machine only SP 3. ... View more

Hi, I am having a similar situation when opening a job from Workflow Manager. The ArcMap process is started, but the ArcMap UI itself does not appear. Killing the ArcMap process and opening the job again from Workflow Manager sometimes work, but not always. Opening the job from another pc works fine (same user logged in). I am using Windows 7, 64-bit.
