How about the default behavior of ArcGIS Pro when adding a layer with a defined “projected coordinate system”?

How about the default behavior of ArcGIS Pro when adding a layer with a defined “projected coordinate system”?

For example, in ArcMap, the “data frame” takes the coordinate system of the first layer added to it and thus the “display unit” shows its coordinate system. In return, when doing the same layer in ArcGIS Pro, the “display unit” preserves the “decimal degrees”!

Is this by design? Do we need each time to go and manually change the “display unit”? is this the best practice?

I emailed the Esri Pro Dev Team about this and they've added it to the list of items for the Pro 2.2 release.

Does anyone know if this has been addressed in 2.2? I can't find how to do this.

Joris - it's been fixed at ArcGIS Pro 2.3.0

The 2.3 is not yet available for download. correct?

It's been available for download since January 20 something, 2019. The way AGP updates is one of two ways: 1) https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/get-started/install-and-sign-in-to-arcgis-pro.htm or 2) Or if AGP is already installed, then it notifies you of an update to the application https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/get-started/arcgis-pro-installation-administration.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_CDFD8AFE2B4B4E5A912CB49E26A9B672

But why I’m not able to download the 2.3 from myesri knowing that we are under active maintenance?

Not sure why that's the case - you may want to contact Esri Support Services for that. Question - is AGP already installed on your computer? If so, the next time you start it and it's not at the current release, you'll get a notification that the application has been updated. The only time this would not appear is if notifications have been turned off in the application properties.

I have been in contact with our area esri reseller and confirmed that 2.3 and 10.7 are available as prerelease and thus are not available on myesri (Prerelease can be requested for download from ESRI site directly but it is not for production and not supported yet). Is this the case?

Hi,

Just to let you know, we have a different license agreement, so I do see the 10.7 Prerelease, and also ArcGIS Pro 2.3.

But for AGP 2.3 is does not say 'prerelease', while for 10.7 it does.

Robert,

Thanks for your reply to this. I can't find it on the What's new page though. But I see some other important improvements so I will definitely have a look at the new version.

I've been using Pro 2.3 for the past 2 months! it doesn't say pre-release either in Pro or on myesri !

AGP uses a rapid release cycle whereas ArcGIS 10.7 does not. The AGP Team tries to get out 2-3 releases per year while the ArcGIS components are less frequent than that. AGP 2.3 dropped January 24, 2019. I'm not sure when ArcGIS 10.7 will be released hence the pre-release label.

Useful update - good.

From Esri articles the screen shots displayed this as an error. In following the articles the coordinates at the bottom did not match the data and location depicted. We use state cords and in feet and so there is no match for this in the drop down even though it can be done in the editing options.

Great. myesri account is now containing the 2.3

I checked the behavior in 2.3 and found out that this is fixed. The 2.3 starts with decimal degrees and then is switched to the coordinates of the first layer added to the map

Great enhancement!
