ArcGIS Pro & ArcPhoto

John_RMellor__GISP — Fri, 15 Mar 2019 16:45:14 GMT

Sometimes we receive photos that are not geo-tagged. In ArcMap 10.4.1, I had the ability to download the ArcPhoto tool and assign an X,Y to photo. I can't find a tool in ArcGIS Pro to do the same. Does anybody know where I should be looking? Or if it is not available in Pro? Or if it is available but has a new name in Pro?

Yes, that is what we are using in ArcMap, but I was tasked with the duty of finding it in ArcGIS Pro - which I haven't been able to find it. Are you saying that I can use the ArcPhoto 1.5.3 download and install in ArcGIS Pro?

no... just wanted to see if that was original... looks like no mention of Pro, but the author's link is on the page... did you buzz him? maybe one is in the works or it already works

Thanks Dan Patterson‌, I didn't know that was possible. I will do that now.

Thomas emailed me back and advised;

John,

As part of the existing tool set in Pro we have the option to associate a picture to a feature by time. More detailed explanations on how the tool works, please refer to this documentation https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/data-management/an-overview-of-the-photos-toolset.htm

If this tool isn’t quite it, I’d recommend putting up an entry on the ideas site https://community.esri.com/community/arcgis-ideas/ to be considered for future tool development.

As a second option, the ArcPhoto tools (https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=578d358a575e4a8ea067a180e00b1325) should continue to work in ArcMap at releases beyond 10.4. You might encounter an error message when you install the tools about missing help files, but simply continue and the tools themselves will be installed on your system.

Hope this helps,

- Thomas Emge
