Have you tried duplicating symbol layers and using transparency, and offsets (both negative (inside) and positive (outside)) ? John Nelson (of course) has a video on how to show uncertainty in polygon edges, and he shows a few ideas in about 10 minutes.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8nyNwKTJlc   It can be quite a bit of work in setup, but the effects you can achieve are quite attractive. ...

I used to use the equivalent of this all the time when editing coverages in ArcEdit.  (Yes, I'm old!) It would be highly beneficial to have an equivalent display / symbolisation option in Arc Pro.   ... View more

I've just noticed this following the upgrade to Pro 2.3...  Thanks!  ... View more

I also have this question! I have a dashboard that uses a web map as a data source.  The web map uses a map image layer which was added to ArcGIS Online after being published on our local ArcGIS Server.  I've set the refresh on the layer in the web map to 6 seconds, as described above.  I then created the dashboard and added the web map, a "99!" indicator, and a gauge.  The last two use the layer from the map as their data source.  When I view the dashboard, the map refreshes every 6 seconds - great! However, the other two elements don't refresh.  Have I configured them incorrectly? I've shared the layer, map, and dashboard publicly for now, in the hope of getting some feedback.

Thanks Amir - I'll look forward to using the ground-grid correction! ... View more

The lack of a setting for ground-grid correction is a significant frustration, and a barrier to adopting Pro for many workflows. ... View more

I'm also interested in being able to configure the ordering of results on our open data site.  We have federated some other ArcGIS Open Data providers into our site, and it would be nice to have them grouped by provider, and then alphabetically.  It would certainly make the results seem less random for our users! Thanks, Chris J EDIT:  I've added this to the ideas site on GeoNet at https://community.esri.com/ideas/13192, referencing this question. ... View more

It would also be useful / convenient to have OS user name as a simple configuration option. ... View more

Many of these things would be nice. I'd be happy, though, with just allowing the use of the TAB character to easily format text into nicely-aligned columns when using variable-width fonts. Tabs would be great - whether the actual ascii character (ideal), or a formatting tag (as used for bolding text), or... I've been lamenting teh lack of this for many years. Thanks, Chris J.

Have you investigated the GDB XRay tool?  It offers many useful features in documenting datasets... http://arcscripts.esri.com/details.asp?dbid=15119 and http://blogs.esri.com/Dev/blogs/localgovernment/archive/2010/07/10/Xray-for-ArcGIS-10-Beta-Available-for-Download.aspx Chris Jacob City of Waterloo ...

Hi there. Thanks for the quick reply! I believe that we're up-to-date with Oracle critical patch updates.  Our DBA hasn't let me know otherwise yet at least!  🙂 A parallel enquiry with tech support resulted in a reference to the following article: http://resources.arcgis.com/content/kbase?fa=articleShow&d=35418 We've applied the suggested fix there for now (altering tables and indices so that their degree of parallelism is 1), and everything appears to be back to working normally.  Within a short time frame, we're also looking to migrate from our existing Oracle DB machine at 10.2.0.3 to a new machine with 10.2.0.4, at which release the underlying Oracle bug is apparently fixed (according to their metalink article). Thanks! Chris Jacob ... View more
