Right, also being to specify separate outputs for each input in a batch tool, as in batch clip in ArcMap.   ... View more

I give up.  Not only is the slow layer properties bug driving me crazy, but several other issues have cropped up with 10.6.  The status bar goes away when in map view.  Trying to change the justification of text objects (left, center, right) has no effect.  Changing legend or scale bar or north arrow properties is agonizingly slow.  Opening the "Options" dialog under "Customize" takes 20+ seconds.  Loading custom styles is not preserved - they go away when I open a new map.  Some maps that I made in earlier versions don't open in 10.6 unless I use MXD Doctor, which literally takes many hours to grind out a solution (I now just leave it running overnight).  ESRI seems to have just kind of shrugged and indicated they'll get around to a fix when they get around to it.  I've asked to be back-graded to 10.4, which is the last version I was using before 10.6.   ...

After working with ESRI support staff, who by the way were endlessly courteous and seemed sincere in wanting to help, it has been determined that the slow opening of layer properties (and ArcMap Options, scale bar properties, legend properties, etc etc) is due to a "defect", which I guess means bug.  They referred my support request to Development and hopefully the next patch or release will have a fix. ...

I also started having problems with very slow editing performance once ArcMap 10.6 was installed (previously I was on 10.4.1).  After we started a support case, the ESRI tech suggested having another user logging onto my machine to test the performance on their user profile. Voila! No problems with their editing.  So then our IT guy created a new profile for me and it solved my slow editing problems.  Apparently I had a corrupt user profile that only manifested itself when trying to edit in 10.6.  Go figure.   ...

I'm having the same problem.  New machine with ArcGIS Desktop 10.6, Windows 10, everything is fresh.  Opening layer properties takes 10+ seconds.  I've tried all suggestions for improving performance, fresh mxds, new normal.mxt, local data vs server, and on and on, but no change.  Also editing both local file geodatabases and SDE is really slow, don't know if that's related. EDIT:  Found out the problem with slow editing was because of a corrupt user profile on the organization system.  Still having the problem with slow opening of properties.  Also, opening ArcMap options takes 15 +/- seconds to open.  Sure would like to know if anybody has found a solution.... ...

Hi Olivia, glad you got it figured out. Thanks for the tip! Matt ... View more

I downloaded and installed ArcHydro 10.4.0.3, everything works now.   ... View more

On the main Arc Hydro Tools toolbar, under the Attribute Tools dropdown, is a "Add Hydro ID" tool.  I tried using it to populate the HydroID field in the catchment polygon layer.  Instant ArcMap crash, with the unhelpful and unapologetic "Send ESRI an Error Report" dialogue box.   ... View more

Also, the flow path tracing tool creates a graphic, not a feature class.  Do you have the default annotation group for the data frame turned off?  If so, the flow paths are created but aren't visible.    ... View more

Usually all you need for the flow path tracing tool is the flow direction grid (fdr).  Maybe the tool is somehow using the wrong grid.  Perhaps try loading just the fdr grid and then running the flow path tool?   ... View more

Hi Siri, I am having the exact same problem.  I have been using ArcHydro for years, and am usually able to troubleshoot problems that come up, but this one has me stumped.  Just last week I performed some ArcHydro basin analyses that went smoothly.  The day before yesterday, the IT folks installed ArcGIS 10.4 on my machine.  I then downloaded and installed ArcHydro tools for 10.4, and everything went fine up to creation of catchment polygons.  Complete ArcMap crash.  A catchment feature class was created, but like with your experience, the HydroID field is all "Null".  I started again from scratch and had the same result.   The basins I am working on are generally small.  Prior to 10.4, most ArcHydro operations were taking no more than a couple minutes.  If you've found some solution to this I'd appreciate hearing about it. ...

Fixed the problem that was keeping ArcHydro tools from working.  It was a desktop clock gadget called ClockX I downloaded from CNET.  Once I uninstalled it ArcHydro tools ran smoothly. I was excited to see a new version of ArcHydro, hoping that it would solve the problems I've been having.  No such luck; if anything it seems even glitchier.  Every ArcHydro tool or command I try to run results in error messages and no output.  I'm wondering if any others are experiencing similar problems. thanks mn ...

Hi, has anybody made any progress on these errors?  I get the " HRESULT E_FAIL " and "error 010024: Error during conversion" and am completely unable to use ArcHydro since installing the most current version after getting upgraded to ArcGiS 10.1.  I'm experienced with the toolset and have followed all advice given here for setting up.  Any advice would be most appreciated. ...
