Enable ArcGIS Pro to Print a Table

DavidWheelock2 — Tue, 24 Aug 2021 16:55:18 GMT

Please enable ArcGIS Pro to print a table. I don't need to create a layout or create a new artifact within my Pro project. I just want to print the table, like I can in ArcMap.

In ArcMap, I can open a table and go to the Options menu and select Print. It's just an unformatted printed and that's OK. I've hunted and hunted and cannot find this in Pro.

Thank you for posting this equivalency issue @DavidWheelock2

I understand that you do not want to create an artifact (I read that as an exported table) but for now I believe that would be the workflow.

Export to something like csv...

...and print the exported file.

I also want this functionality. There is data in a table and I want to hand it to someone so that we may look at it during an informal meeting, in a situation where there is no computer present.

Oops! Done.

Along these lines it would be great to have extended formatting options for printing fields from an attribute table. I automated a process in modelbuilder for deriving mailing addresses from a parcel layer and currently have to export to Excel and then mail merge in Word to print labels. Would be amazing to be able to print the mailing address labels from pro, and maybe incorporate the process into my custom tool so the whole thing is automated.

Thanks for the encouraging news @NathanShephard.

Someday our fabled ArcMap Equivalence will come. 🙂

Ha, always working, always working. The list of equiv items is shrinking, so we really appreciate it when particular ideas continue to get votes and additional workflow descriptions (so we can prioritize).

Thanks for all the input!

Thanks @KoryKramer.

I just tested this item. It took 1 1/2 minutes to generate a print job where I had selected 6 records out of a table of about 58,000 records. 1 1/2 minutes to print 6 records in text format seems kind of sluggish.

In ArcMap, printing a similar selection of 6 records from the same table only takes about 2 seconds to generate the print job.

Is there room for improvement there?

@DavidWheelock2 quick question - do you see the lag the first time you you choose a printer/first time you try to print a table in a project? If you open the print dialog again do you see the same lag?

@KoryKramer

Yes, I get same result on the second try within a session as I did the first time.

I refined my testing and tested in a simple ArcGIS Pro project. My initial test result of ~90 seconds was with a very heavy project with lots of layers. When I tested in a simple project, the time to generate the print job was about 30 seconds. That's much better than 90 seconds, but still 15 times longer than ArcMap's 2 seconds.
