Is there a Go to X Y tool, or similar in ArcGIS Pro ?

PeterKing4 — Tue, 12 May 2015 23:27:29 GMT

I need to use the Go to X Y tool in 10.3 every day. Does it exist in ArcGIS Pro?

Found it.

You can simply type coordinates in the Locate tool

Hi Peter, did you have to do anything before hand? I type in my XY but Locate doesn't find my desired location?

Hi Peter, Thanks for your response.

I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong but I've tried

506700,196182

506700 196182

506700196182

and none of them seem to work. Any ideas?

Thanks again

You need to tell it your coordinate system. No commas. For zone 55 I use

55H 2345678 6123456

Seems to only work with Lat/Long and UTM coordinates. How about other coordinate systems, most importantly the one that my map is using...

According to About finding an address:

X,Y coordinates
Instead of finding an address, you can use x,y coordinates to find a location in the Locate pane. The coordinates you enter can be any of the following:
Longitude-latitude or latitude-longitude
Values in the map document's coordinate system
United States National Grid (USNG) coordinates
Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) coordinates
Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate notation

It appears the map document's coordinate system is one of the options for searching coordinates. What spatial reference are you using? If you put in coordinates from the map document's coordinate system, where do you go if not to the place you expect?

Hello Joshua,

I tried the following:

Create a new project using the Blank template

Add a Map to the project

Map properties:

Coordinate System: NAD83 1983 StatePlane California II FIPS 0402 Feet

Display Units: Feet

Zoom the map to the general area I’m working in (Sacramento California)

Go to the Locate panel.

Enter 6712790 1953369 (valid coordinates within Sacramento County)

I get two identical results

AddrType: LongLat Point

Score 100

Clicking Zoom To or Pan on either on does nothing on the map display

Also tried 6712790,1953369

David, thanks for providing the steps. I should have time to test soon, will report back. It may be a bug where the software isn't performing as designed, or at least as documented.

I was expecting to be able to put a bunch of coordinates in to find the location of a polygon ... rather than having to do them only ever one at a time as this does. Even if if created a graphic dot to stay on the searched point.
