Hi, I'm running ArcGIS Pro 3.2.1 on a Windows 10 Enterprise 10.019045 with an i7, 3.6 Ghz, 16 Gb RAM. When I run the Distance Accumulation tool in the geoprocessing tools (Spatial Analyst Toolbox) I get an output map that is flipped where north is south and south is north (see attachment). I confirmed that the raster values are circular from south 180 being 0 instead of 180. This same problem happens in the deprecated Euclidean Direction tool.  Is this is a known bug or is there some setting that I have to set now to make north 0?  I've run Euclidean Direction for years and have never seen this issue.  Thoughts? ...

The new Maxent tool in ArcGIS Pro is great.  It provides great graphics and model evaluation statistics. One thing that would make it better is if it provided AIC (Akaike's Information Criterion) as ENMTools does - https://github.com/danlwarren/ENMTools AIC provides the ability to select between models with different feature types (linear, quadratic, step, etc.) ...

The line density tool has a default symbology so that the raster when added to ArcGIS Pro it shows purple. The problem is that it makes it appear that areas that have lines are showing up as white background. This immediately makes the user think that the algorithm is wrong. The symbology also persists. If I remove the layer and add it back it will render it the same. I would recommend Esri immediately abandon this default symbology and switch to something else. The default raster symbology is much better. ... View more

Add a checkbox to the Zonal Statistics tool to ensure that all features are rasterized, including small ones. Currently, the tool will generate a warning saying "WARNING 010566: Some zones may not have been rasterized." ... View more

It would be wonderful if Esri had a simple website that shows with which version a new geoprocessing tool is added.  Right now each version has a "whats new" page, but it would be great to see these pulled together into a single source so that we can verify that a tool exists or doesn't depending upon the version that the user has. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/get-started/whats-new-in-arcgis-pro.htm For example, the Wikipedia page on ArcGIS shows each version's release date and includes a link to the "what's new" page, but it would be great to see all of this information pulled together into a single searchable table. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArcGIS   ...

In Spatial Analyst we have the local toolset for working with individual pixels, neighborhood tools for groups of pixels, and zonal statistics for irregular groups of cells/polygons, but there is no tool that transforms entire rasters.  What about a toolset that transforms rasters into percentiles, quantiles, z-scores, standardizes, etc.?  This would be super useful and would be a great asset to the existing tools. ...
