"Groups don't hold or own content".. that's a flaw from my perspective... I'd prefer the individual to simply be the author and saving their content in our group's folders so they are all centralized. As is I have to pop around everyone's Arc profile When they leave the organization I have to change ownership on all their content / move to different folders. Had the owner been set to the group / the content been stored in a Group folder to begin with, these actions would not be required.

ArcPad DEV newb here, looking for an easy button. ArcPad 10.2 - Windows 10 So In ArcPad, the Limit To List property of a Combo Box cannot be set programmatically via VB? That's a downer Form.apl - Limit to List was set to false in all combo boxes which was triggering the Win10 virtual keyboard - Wasn't Ideal so I set them to true. easy peasy lemon squeezy Well... that's true for initial data entry, but there is also an option to open the form in edit mode, where the original developer is loading the text values, not the cbo's index values. Because Limit to List is set, no values are being loaded, throwing errors (app logic dictates these values must be present). hundreds of fields affected. Easy button?

@Greg Keith "Not sure why you're failing on lyr.dataSource, unless there's a typo somewhere. dataSource is a valid layer property. Is your shapefile in a group layer by chance?" Yes... yes they are.

I thoroughly enjoyed the convenience of basically the full set of Windows Explorer options in the add data dialogue that we had in ArcMap. Assuming that will never happen, ability to have the details view with columns for attribs such as date modified / author etc would be nice. As Windows explorere obviously cannot view GDB contents, this becomes even more of an obvious enhancement for the Add Data dialogue within #ArcPro.#

Yes. Also tred the GeoDB properties window / upgrade function.

Upgraded a 9.3 File Geodatabase to 10.x. ArcGIS for Desktop 10.5.1 has no issues... ArcGIS Pro 2.0.1 will not display any contents. I have reviewed ArcGIS Pro 1.2 Doesn't "see" .mdb or .gdb and tried "For the GDB problem - create a folder connection to the folder ABOVE the GDB and make sure the GDB is not inside a folder with the same name (or anything else .gdb) - I've seen issues with that sort of nested folder before." However that seems to have no effect... I followed the instructions to fix a Personal GeoDB and that worked for my 9.x File GeoDb... Modify your data sources to a supported type with 64-bit ArcGIS. Using the Create File GDB tool, you can create a file GDB and then import your layers into it using the Feature Class to Geodatabase (multiple) tool. So, File GeoDB's upgraded from 9.x are not supported in ArcGIS Pro?

In ArcGIS Pro the Import Symbology function will rebuild your classes based on your target dataset, so it looks like the functionality you are looking for is the default in ArcGIS Pro .

Josiah Moore Copy/pasting the ArcGIS documentation not so helpful here / does not address the OP's issue / reason for this idea. In ArcGIS for Desktop; during the Import Symbology function you had the option to import the 'Complete Symbology Definition' which maintained the classifications / (Natural Breaks - Jenks) of the source dataset in lieu of just 'in spirit' In ArcGIS Pro 2.0.1, you can import the symbology from another layer but it only uses the symbology 'in spirit'. The colour ramp & number of breaks are maintained but the actual values used in the classifications are rebuilt for the target dataset in lieu of what was present in the source dataset. This will be OK in many applications, but not useful when you want 2 features containing similar data to have consistent symbology. Right now it seems the only option would be manually build the breaks in the target layer or merge the datasets? What really needs to happen is for ArcGIS Pro to have the pre-existing functionality that is still present in ArcGIS for Desktop: Complete Symbology Definition

Map View + Attribute Table & Map refreshes constantly whilst editing. Seems like every mouse click triggers a map & attribute table refresh (3000ish polygon records)... very painful experience. The same layer in ArcGIS for Desktop behaves much better... very poor experience with Pro (2.0.1) so far

In ArcGIS for Desktop, whilst using a projected UTM coordinate system; the display units when outside of the UTM zone were shown as if they were in the Data Frame's coordinate system (meanwhile actually being out of range / outside of that UTM zone). In ArcGIS Pro, whilst using a projected UTM coordinate system; the display units incorporate the UTM zone and always show the proper coordinates for the UTM zone you have the mouse over (despite what UTM zone the data frame is set to). This is a good thing HOWEVER, I am now stuck with the issue of not being able to replicate the old functionality in ArcGIS pro. So the location of plenty of old maps with grids showing the out of range values cannot be easily georeferenced or compared to my map data in ArcGIS Pro. I presumed there would be an environment variable or project setting I could toggle to optionally replicate this older ArcGIS for Desktop functionality; making the tranistion from ArcGIS for Desktop to ArcGIS Pro much easier (as many of my peers / organizations I work with will not be upgrading anytime soon (also many other non-ESRI applications work that way still). Unfortunately I could not find any method of controlling this setting Am I missing something?

When you upgrade to ArcGIS Pro, youre going to have a bad time... The Identify tool (along with lots of other ArcGIS for Desktop functionality) has been abandoned / removed. You can still identify features but it has been embedded into the 'Explore' / Navigation function. Of particular relation to this ArcGIS idea, the integrated Identify function within the Explorer/Navigation does not display the XY location where you clicked to identify. Making this entire Idea obsolete as it pertains to ArcGIS Pro. As there is no Identify tool, you cannot select which layers to identify from (i.e. Top-Most, Visible, Selectable layers). I suspect the official ESRI answer would be to write a python script or run a multi clause select function then view the results in the attribute table followed by reading the coordinates on the bottom of the data frame? Sry if I sound a bit salty here... I've been using ArcGIS pro for a week now and am constantly running into (what I thought to be common / standard) features & functionality having either not been ported over to ArcGIS Pro or just made much more difficult than it was in ArcGIS for Desktop

I just posted an idea (ArcGIS Pro - Edit Session) separate from this one, however I am seeing that they could technically be merged. The difference being that we would be looking to establish formal edit sessions for unversioned data in any other storage scenario; i.e. File Geodatabase, Shape File on disk.

The COGO method you mentioned is many steps to get what should be a simple built in feature / not requiring customization. The COGO toolbar doesnt allow to simply select a layer... you have select it on the map via a click. Not sure how the app is attempting to note the bearing of a line feature with multiple parts. You get a single line bearing as a result, despite having numerous parts. I take it you would need to break the feature into multiple parts first...

Borrowed an advanced license, ran the tool, generated a new file. Worked . Just couldn't do it on the source data itself. No worries. Thanks

Want to set up ArcMap to draw all smaller polygons in a feature on top of larger polygons within the same feature. Someone asked about this on GIS Stack Exchange and it was marked as answered yet it was not really answered; ArcGIS - possible to set the drawing order of polygon features - Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchange (While the title was interpreted as duplicate, the question itself was unique) I have the total area set up as an attribute, but Symbol Levels don't seem to cut it as I cannot use natural breaks / classes due to the symbolization being on a descriptive field... 1) The symbology is on separate / descriptive field. 2) So, went with Unique values, many fields in order to leverage Symbol Levels on the Area attribute. 3a) Because its unique values I cannot feasibly add all the AREA attributes (all unique / 20,000+ records). 3b) The Symbol Levels concatenates both fields so I cannot even have it sort by area, due to the Area attribs being grouped by the descriptive attribute.
