The analysts would then use these FCs instead of shapefiles for their day-to-day work in Pro. The GDB data would be in WGS84, the APRX would be in a local state plane or UTM projection.&nbsp;</P><P><SPAN>If we do continue on this path, how much potential error is introduced when working with data in GCS WGS84 in a Pro map with a State Plane projection? I know Pro projects on-the-fly so things line up visually but there's some distortion, correct?</SPAN></P> Tue, 02 Mar 2021 16:26:56 GMT BrendanSoulé 2021-03-02T16:26:56Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/enterprise-gdb-data-in-pro-gcs-pcs/m-p/1031980#M38044 <P>Hi everyone,</P><P>Right now our company is working with static shapefiles, using NAD83 State Plane or UTM projections depending on the location of the data (US, Canada or Mexico).&nbsp;</P><P>I'd like to put all related information, e.g. wind turbine locations across all our projects, into a feature class within an enterprise GDB so there's a single source to maintain and to enable serving through ArcGIS Enterprise.
