Hi, Does anybody know how to apply symbology (from the Gallery) to graphic elements in ArcGIS Pro? For example, I'd like to insert a graphic line and then make it an arrow.  In previous versions of Pro, I could've sworn that when I opened the line properties, I could navigate to the Gallery and apply line symbology to my element. I can't find it now.  My options to create an arrow as a graphic are now: 1) apply the "Arrow" Effect from Structure > Add Effect (not really an option, I do not think this arrow looks very great), or 2) add an entire Marker Symbol Layer > Appearance [Font] > ESRI Arrowhead > choose an arrowhead > Marker Placement [Placement "At Extremeties] and [Extremities "At begin/ed"].  Seems like a large number of clicks just to get a simple arrow. I can then save the final product to a custom style, but can't apply my custom arrow to subsequent lines. I can only apply the arrow to line feature classes or shapefiles. What happened? I think this is a bonified need, especially for users who rely on layout graphics/elements for standardized products and branding purposes.  As it stands, it appears I'll have to remake an arrow graphic (or any sort of graphic) every time I need one. ...

Hello everyone! Does anybody know of a solid way to map runoff/inundation areas from a single point source?  For example, I would like to model the predicted floodplain/inundation area if a 1000 gallon oil tank suddenly ruptured in an urban environment.  The model should take into account terrain (DEMs), land cover (I have very accurate data that I can convert to Manning's roughness coefficients), culverts (and other water-related infrastructure features), obstructions (buildings, structures, etc.), etc. I've experimented with using the USACE HEC-RAS program, but haven't had luck finding solutions for single point-source mapping. Does anybody know of similar situations/tutorials that I could read up on or geoprocessing tools that I could use for this situation? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks very much! ... View more
