I've noticed that I can re-arrange fields in the Fields View of ArcGIS Pro, but that this order is not permanent, and only applies to the layer in the table of contents. Side story: I often need to re-arrange the order of fields permanently, but the only way I currently know how is to create a personal geodatabase in ArcMap, import the…

In ArcGIS 10.5.1 my coworker and I both have to double-click two times to open any of our mxds. The first double-click spins for a bit, then stops, presenting nothing. The second double-click opens the map normally. This wasn't always the case, but now it's consistent. Has anyone else run in to this?

Hi Dan (WOW, that was fast!) - PDFs and all other docs open fine. We're only experiencing this with MXDs which are all stored on a server, as are the PDFs. Is the server the culprit?
HI Robert. Thanks for your reply.I just moved it to the 2D Contents Pane and nothing changed in the Label Placement options. I moved it back to the 3D pane and now the labels are on top of the points - which is fine, but I'd like to make some changes on the "Position" section, but they are still grayed out.
Ok, I have been away for a while (6 or 7 years) but lately have been busy writing JavaScript viewers and much has transpired in those years. I am migrating a JS viewer from 3.27 to 4.10 and was migrating my custom 3.27 swipe widget to 4.10 and ran into a brick wall with regard to the use of a Canvas in 4.10 in lieu of SVG from the 3.27.… Show more

Thanks! So is this a list of fields for the data being appended, or the data that's being added to? I found this, which looked easy to understand: Append Tool and Field Mapping ... Help? Examples? But my code is breaking when I go to field_to_map.addInputField(append_layer, field_map[1]) I think I'm pretty close...any ideas? # Delete…
In ArcGIS Desktop when editing m-enabled featureclass vertices you have a number of options regarding the measures. This includes drop measures, set offsets, recalculate, set from distance, set from and to all on a single right click. Could we implement this same functionality in ArcGIS Pro?
I am trying to get Local Server working in a Runtime 100.4 .NET application. Mostly I need this for a geoprocessing service, but am trying to get it working with a map service first (just so I can verify I've got everything wired correctly). I have an mmpk that I generated in Pro, and it has a few polygons. If I just load it in (using… Show more

Hi, We have an Enterprise ArcGIS platform with HA setup. For the backups we use the webgisdr tool. This tool is taking around 16 hours to complete a full backup of 6GB size. Is this expected behavior in terms of time ? Thanks, Prasanth
What part of the process is taking the longest? If the BACKUP_LOCATION is set to a share, then I imagine that's what's taking the most time, (this is the "packaging" message". You can confirm from the cmd output or the logs. Zipping the backup takes a significant amount of time if you have a large amount of data and are backing up to a share.…
I've been working on migrating our workflows from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro over the last year, and one consistent annoyance is the performance of the join tools in Pro. Joining csv files, tables, and feature classes to each other in ArcMap has always been a cinch and usually takes no more than 10 seconds. In Pro however, both the join and remove…
I have create a Feature class, of shape polyline. I have then used the geoprocessing tool "Table to Domain" to take this list of polylines and allow it to be consumed by another table or feature class in my gdb as a domain value. The challenge I now have, is when a new polyline is added to the original or source feature class, how do I get the… Show more

Is there a way within My ESRI to tell which ArcGIS Desktop version each user in my organization actually has installed on his or her machine?
Be able to add a feature class to an existing replica with out having to create custom code or recreate the replica.
I agree with Mateo. Adding a removing feature classes from a replica without the having to program it in ArcObjects is needed. I have 3 feature classes out of 40 in a replica that got corrupted so it would be nice to remove them from the replica, replace originals and replicate got those feature classes without blowing away the replicas.
