How to remove from Legend in ArcPro

BenVan_Kesteren1 — Wed, 30 Aug 2017 00:05:58 GMT

Hey Guys,

I am having a go at using ArcPRO to create a simple map, I am doing OK right up until I have to create the legend.

Is there a way to filter off and not display the <all other values> from my legend?

I click on the symbology, and right click on this item and I am unable to remove this symbol (this is expected, as I know in arcMap this is the same)

So, I am sure in ArcPro I should be able to remove this option from the legend, can someone explain to a n00b how to do this please?

Thanks

hmmmm I wonder if you could just use a space for the label, set the fill to blank with no outline.... or this

Hey, thanks for the suggestion.

I did try what you suggested by changing colors to NONE and no label, but it is just a n00b hack and not a proper solution, as it keeps the blank line in the legend which is not very professional I believe. I know I can re-order the layers, which will work in this instance to put the blank line at the bottom, but what happens if all my layers have <all other values>?

I was hoping for a tick box or something that is hidden somewhere...

In arcmap, I just used to do another hack... but only useful for layouts... which was to convert the legend to graphics... ungroup... delete what I didn't want... regroup and it was done. Wait!!

Found it

Fantastic, thanks for that... I kept clicking 'more value' thinking thats where you were indicating, and then I expanded my field of view and found the 'more' button you said to click!

Thanks heaps, works exactly as expected.

Erasing the <all other values> LABEL works!

Even better, in 2.4.1 this has been moved to the top of the menu instead of way down at the bottom!

Is there any way to remove it JUST from the legend? Other than converting to graphics?

Hi anewsam Newsam,

Currently, there is no way to remove this from JUST the legend without converting the legend to graphics. This souinds like a good enhancement. There are a couple of ideas on https://community.esri.com/community/arcgis-ideas that are similar - Cleaner "All Other Values" in legends. and Legends in Pro All Other Values. You may want to add your comments and vote.

Thanks,

Tom

I recently found another way to remove <all other values> from just the legend, but it only works IF you don't actually have any "other values" visible in the current extent of the map:

Create your legend, go to Legend Properties > Items tab > Map Extent Options and check the box next to "Only show classes that are visible in the current map extent." If you don't actually have any other values visible, this will remove that item from your legend.

For any ArcGIS Pro SDK developers looking for this setting, you'll find it at the UniqueValueRendererDefinition.UseDefaultSymbol property. Set this to false and 'All Other Values' disappears from the legend.

For anyone coming across this thread in search of an answer to the probelm, as I have done, the solution is explained in How To: Hide from a Legend in ArcGIS Pro? (esri.com)

Sooooo counter-intuitive. I find the answers online eventually, but these "workflows" don't take this web-time into consideration. Add that time and there's another reason I miss ArcMap.
