Vertices not displaying when editing vertices.

CarsonG — Mon, 19 Dec 2022 19:04:26 GMT

Vertices are not displaying for a user when editing vertices. Is there some setting that disables their display? The default symbology in the settings is set.

what is your selection color set to? (Project backstage) and has the user selected a line?

Selection color is set to the default color. A line is selected. The vertex x/y locations are showing in the Modify Features window for the selected feature.

click on a rows in the table of coordinates. or see if trying to select a point (use a rectangle selection) highlights the record.

If the intent is to "move" a point, then editing the coordinates isn't the way to go as a first step until you know where the record is

The user can still "select" vertices and move them. Problem is with displaying them.

A vertex in the table of coordinates can be selected but does not display. It can be zoomed to, deleted etc. We are also still able to add vertices along the line. You can still click on and move a vertex at a "change in direction on the line" but the vertices will not display like in the image below.

Intent is to move vertex on the line to a different location but some of the changes in direction are so small that a vertex needs to be seen in order to move it.

works for me, check the line style, perhaps it is obliterating the point or maybe there is some off setting in

Line style is a simple 1.5 width yellow line. No additional markers have been added to the line. I've looked in the editing options for some setting that may disable them.

We did end up figuring out for the specific user that when using the Navigator tool, used for rotating a maps orientation, was causing the vertices to not display if he had it rotated off North. I tried replicating it though and was unable to produce the same results.

If Navigator tool above is rotated off north vertices will not display correctly.

Another user was able to produce the same results. Both users are using version 2.9.X. I am using 3.0

The only difference between the 2 users and myself are the version of ArcPro being used. I also have more RAM on my machine but other than that they are the same devices.

if it works in 3.x and not in 2.9.x they can scroll through the bug list on the above page or update pro

The issue appears to be more hardware related. The user updated to 3.x and still has the issue. The only difference between the user and myself at this point is the amount of RAM on the machines.

Am I missing something or is there no solution? This thread is marked as solved, but clicking on the solution link leads nowhere. I am using Pro 3.2.1 and my Edit Vertices tool worked fine until it didn't. Now, the vertices don't show up but I can still edit them. Pretty difficult to do when you cant see them.

I was able to to correct the issue by un-rotating my map orientation. Odd, it was working with the map rotated and then it just decided to stop.

Yes!!! This is my problem too. How do I see the vertices??

I was having this issue when I was trying to edit a line, and under Modify Features > Change the Selection, the program kept highlighting too many sections. I right clicked over options that I didn't need and manually removed them by hitting "Unselect." Then when I went to Select & Edit Vertices, the vertices populated for me.

Hope this helps(:
