I've been using ArcGIS Pro version 2 for a few days now and it seems much improved over 1.4. The interface responds more quickly and is more functional. Some basic tools seem to still be missing. For instance, it seems crazy to me that I cannot delete a column in a table unless I go open a specific tool. Another difficulty (bug?) is that the catalog does not seem to always refresh with new results. For example, I have a model that runs and generates a series of tables in a geodatabase. When I go to that geodatabase after the model runs, it appears empty. I must manually choose to refresh the folder/geodatabase before I can use the model output for anything. That is fairly annoying and I imagine could create many problems down the line. Anyway, a step in the right direction. C ... View more

That appears to solve the problem. Thanks for looking into it Prasanta! ... View more

I haven't tried this registry edit, but I have to admit, I'm hesitant to edit the security settings just to get ArcMap to work 100%. I don't have the expertise to evaluate what that hack actually does and what risks it opens up.  ... View more

I applied that update but the problem still exists. I do not have the problem when using Pro. ... View more

Hi Prashant, The hillshade I was trying to use I found in ArcGIS online. I don't have it at the moment because I'm on a different computer without the map. It was just one of many possible examples, however. The main issue is that the primary development line of ArcMap for many years has a vast array of tools and datasets ready to go, and a nearly unfathomable number of users and combination of tools. Transitioning that to ArcGIS Pro must be a huge endeavor, and I suspect it will never be 100%. In many ways it is like when ArcMap drops support for older programming languages, e.g., Visual Basic, and then a bunch of things that some people used every day will no longer work. If there is no ready replacement for that functionality, the user can't easily transition to the new platform. I don't think it is anything ESRI is doing wrong, it is just difficult. Occasionally I cannot even use ArcGIS 10.5 because of such issues. I recently had to use a tool that was only compatible with ArcMap10.1, which meant finding an old computer on which to install it. There simply wasn't a ready-made tool that was compatible with newer versions of ArcMap, much less for ArcGIS Pro. Clinton ... View more

The short answer is no, it is not ready. We are now at version 1.4.1, and every time I try to do a project or a map with ArcGIS Pro, I end up going back to ArcMap. Certain functions I can do in Pro, and some work better, such as analyzing big data. However, I always run into basic problems of missing functionality. For instance, I have access to a really nice hillshade layer through ArcMap, but I can find no way to get access to it in ArcGIS Pro. Simply, Pro is in many ways still a beta product, not yet ready to replace ArcMap. Maybe by whatever version appears in 2018 it will be a serious contender. ... View more

Aha! Check geometry didn't find anything, but densify seems to work. I'm not sure how practical it will be if it means I have to add lots of extra vertices, since that would make the file bigger, but this does look to be the fundamental problem. Thanks! ... View more

Below are examples. The original purple layer is geographic, the other two are EckertIV and Mollweide. Notice the area around New Zealand. ... View more

The same problem seems to occur when reprojecting to Mollweide. ... View more

Problem identified. It was the aux files. Apparently when the nitf images were first opened it was with an older version of ArcMap, which created aux files. The newer versions of ArcMap seemingly read those aux files incorrectly and do not update them either. Deleting all of the old aux files resulted in the images opening correctly with their full extent. Clinton ... View more

An update... I have some other hi-res imagery in nitf format, from the same original source but at a later date. Those images appear to open normally, without being clipped in ArcMap 10.2. Perhaps it is not a general nitf problem but one specific to a certain version of nitf or some specific parameter? I am not familiar enough with the nitf format to identify the differences that might be leading to this problem. Clinton ... View more
