adding Fit capability to Picture element in ArcGIS Pro layout

As far as I know the Picture element in ArcGIS Pro layout doesn't have the capability of fitting picture in its frame so the picture needs to be resized before using. It would be good to have fitting/filling capability for this situation.

Hi Azin,

If you insert the picture element with a single mouse click instead of drawing a bounding box the picture is added to the layout in its original size and aspect ratio. The bounding box will match this. You can then resize the element manually, or from the Placement tab in Element Pane (the picture element properties) for more control. Make sure the aspect ratio button is on to ensure the match between picture and element border.

The single click method requires a stable click. If Pro registers a slight movement it might see that as a bounding box and insert a very small element. If that happens just delete the new element and try again.

Hope this helps,

Tom
