We recommend that you migrate to ArcGIS Pro, our fully supported desktop GIS application.

Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas. We truly appreciate your contributions to continuously improving the software to help you do your work and look forward to what ideas you have for ArcGIS Pro.</P> Wed, 01 May 2024 01:08:43 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/arcreader-measure-feature-and-highlighter/idc-p/1417378#M29839 CraigWilliams 2024-05-01T01:08:43Z
