The recommended resolution of my display is 3840 x 2400.  When the display is set to this resolution, the editing cursor is very small making it difficult to snap to an existing feature when creating new features.  The cursor box is much easier to see if the display is changed to 1920 x 2400 resolution.  I would suggest an option to be able to adjust the size of the of the cursor box regardless of screen resolution.  This would be similar to what one can do in various CAD programs.   This would also be an ease of access/accessability option for those who are visually impaired.

I've had success using GIMP to do raster cleanup on scanned or screenshots of parcel maps.  GIMP is a free GNU image manipulation program.  I then georeference the maps the same as you would do in ArcScan.  Once georeferenced, I run the Thin geoprocessing tool to get the parcel line width down to a minimum number of cells.  I the used the Raster to Polyline tool or the Raster to Polygon tool to convert the raster image to vector image.  I loaded these steps into a saved Task in ArcPro to streamline the workflow a bit. Hope this helps. ... View more

Hello everyone and thanks for the invite Rebecca!  I'm a volunteer for Headwaters Land Conservancy in Northeast Lower Michigan, USA.  I'm a retired engineer and self taught in GIS thanks to ESRI Training!  I'm currently working on prioritizing private land parcels for permanent protection.  Hence, I'm most interested in conservation/environmental GIS topics. Thanks to ESRI for their great support of non-profits! ... View more

Hi Mark, Thanks for the tip.  I'll give it a try the next time it happens. ... View more

Dan, Thanks for finding the bug report.  I'll check it out. I may have found a workaround.  What I was doing was changing some parameters in a Weighted Sum tool and then only rerunning the model from the Cost Connectivity tool (see below) : This method apparently can save some time by using some of the outputs previously run as inputs for the new model run. I've been successful three times now by first making my Weighted Sum changes, then hitting the "Validate" button on the ribbon and saving the model  I can then then run the entire model over again (from the Run button on the ribbon).  This seems to work without getting the error.  Hitting "Validate" clears the shadows under the variable inputs that signify that portion of the model has been run.  Perhaps having these old results as inputs to the new model run was preventing any new files from being written to the Temp folder? ...

Just gave it a try after copying data to a different local folder.  Still no luck. ... View more

Hi Dan,  thanks for the suggestion.  Actually, the Google drive folder is a local folder.  I just sync the folder to Google drive periodically for backup.  However, I'm willing to give it a try if you think it might help. ... View more

Megan, I'm basically recreating the "Mountain Lion Corridors" tutorial using my own parameters. Here's a few screenshots I hope will help you out. I noticed in the file save dialog it says "All Tables" but not types or file extensions are listed. I tried to add an extension such as .txt to the file name, and it seems to work. Maybe it just needs a default extension to to make it "idiot" proof . The same thing happens when I use the Reclassify tool from outside of Modelbuilder. Also, what make it a bit confusing is the file save and load dialog boxes don't update when they are closed and reopened. I learned that I needed to refresh them manually by clicking the refresh button at the top of the window. Hope this helps. ... View more
