stream digitizing in Pro?

MaribethPrice — Tue, 01 Nov 2016 20:09:26 GMT

Can you still do stream digitizing in Pro (e.g. it follows the mouse instead of you clicking each vertex)? I can't find it or any mention of it in the help. Does any one know if it has been ditched permanently or is just planned for a later release? Freehand is pretty clunky in comparison--you can't start/stop and you can't set the stream tolerance.

I've been searching for a comprehensive list of ArcMap stuff that is not in Pro. Anybody know of one? The search engines t are spectacularly obtuse at times...they are convinced I am looking for info on linear water bodies...

Is it the trace other features tool way down near the bottom Menus and toolbars for editing—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS for Desktop

And you will never find a list of things 'not' implemented in Pro. The quickest way, is to find the help topic in the online help for 10.4, then switch over to Pro 1.3. It it doesn't exist, there will be no help topic equivalent

PS stream digitizing totally lame search answers all 'stream' related

trace digitizing ditto, got the water drop trace tool

Forgot about this link... at least it covers the tools, but not all functionality

Trace is different. Stream digitizing isn't that useful unless you have a digital pen and do a lot of curvy polygons like geology and soil units. Then it is a godsend. Guess I'll have to use ArcMap for it, at least for a while.

Yes, I found that list of tools that aren't available, but lots of stuff wasn't a tool in AM. Good to have it, though.

On the bright side, my book's Pro edition is gonna be a lot shorter than the AM edition!

Now now... you can fill it up with all kinds of stuff from the conda distribution and opening the gis world up to the SciPy stack, NumPy, Pandas and Matplotlib... no shortage of new material

Hi Maribeth,

Yes, you can stream digitize using the 'Freehand' construction tool (located in the line and polygon feature tempate tool palettes).

Sorry Maribeth, I should have read your question more thoroughly... thanks for the feedback, we'll look into improving it for a future release.

Thanks,

Phil

I definitely need the stream digitizing function in Pro. I receive complicated geologic polygon features that need to be digitized in a short time frame. I have an interactive pen display and have to keep using ArcMap to digitize. Please add this to a list for a future release. Thanks!

This topic is a year old and this feature still has not been implemented in ArcgisPro (at least I can't find it). This is a basic feature available from Arcview 3.x - ArcMap 10.5. Stuff like this is why people scoff at ArcGisPro, get it together ESRI.

lots of mention of digitizing on ArcGIS Ideas‌ but nothing specific on that, so perhaps it is a little less basic in the bigger list of requests.

Here are the ideas threads relating to digitizing you should upvote anything that looks of interest

Hi Ian. As Dan_Patterson‌ indicates, please do hop over to the Ideas site and submit this request. Getting the community votes on functionality, even if an equivalency issue between ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro, helps the teams here to prioritize functionality.

Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestion Dan. I found one thread regarding this topic, Streaming mode in ArcPro and upvoted but this just feels like another addition by subtraction "feature" from ESRI. I know quite a few users that refuse to move to Pro due to similar issues.

So apparently it might not have been available in earlier version or ArcGIS Pro. Probably all that posted a few years back already are aware of this. This might help new folk coming into ArcGIS Pro. It is available now for tools such as "reshape" and "split" Just like in ArcMap, one can activate and deactivate streaming by pressing F8. By pressing O (the letter) one can change the stream tolerance and check/uncheck the 'smooth' option. One thing I have not been able to figure out is to make the streaming options permanent, at least for the job on hand. This is a time consumer if one has to press the O and change the setting every time one starts doing a segment. Perhaps someone already figured it out. Here is a link
