Can I preview edit before hitting save?

RobCahalan — Thu, 26 Dec 2019 16:14:18 GMT

I am trying to do some feature editing in ArcGIS Pro 2.4.2 of lines and polygons. When I edit the line vertices the edits are not visible until I hit the save button and change extent. Same is happening while I am editing a polygon. If I reshape the polygon, I do not see the "reshaped" geometry until I hit the save button. This is very scary to do since there is know undo. This workflow of edit, save, change extent is not conducive to performing the task of feature editing in Pro. Are there some setting's that are not default that can help with this?

While editing and the feature is selected, the location of the edit is visible

After edit is complete and the selection is cleared and prior to pressing save, the edit is not visible.

This same view is what is seen after pressing the save button and prior to changing extent.

The edit is visible only after the save button is pressed AND the visible extent is changed.

Hi Rob,

That's not normal behavior, but sounds similar to what is described in this other thread:

Getting edits to show up immediately ArcGIS Pro

If clearing the display cache works, good, but you may want to reach out to Esri Technical Support if the issue comes back.

Thanks,

Scott

Hi Rob,

I'm just following up - have you seen this problem again since the first time? If so, do you frequently work with new feature classes in a File Geodatabase that is stored on a mapped network drive location? If that's the case, we were able to reproduce the issue in this specific scenario. The good news is that it should no longer occur in 2.5 (coming soon).

Thanks,

Scott

Really?! That's awesome, our mapped network drives/editing not updating was really holding us back from going full Pro. Please tell people in support because they have no idea what we're talking about when trying to troubleshoot, but this is the exact problem.

Hi Michael,

I'm sorry to hear you experienced the same issue. If you see any issue like this in this in 2.5 (the next release of ArcGIS Pro), please let me know. I'll be sure to loop back with Tech Support.

Thanks,

Scott

I have not tried to make the same edits since my last post. I do work on mapped network drives however. Look forward to the update.

Hi Scott, quite a late reply but I just wanted to let you know that I'm facing this issue while working on features in a File Geodatabase stored on a network drive. Still happening in ArcGIS Pro 3.3.
