White Box Highlighting Vertices in ArcPro?

ISGGISAdmin — Wed, 12 Mar 2025 21:35:40 GMT

One of our users appeared to accidentally enabled this white box with a black hash around the boarder that highlights vertices as white shapes within it. I looked in the measurement tool settings, the snapping settings and in the general project settings. Anyone know where this setting is located/what it is?

Thank you!

Interesting...

You can set vertex symbol options in the Editing Options under Symbology->Vertices. To access, click the Project tab->Settings->under the Application header->Editing.

Worse comes to worse, you can do a soft reset of ArcGIS Pro to restore it to factory settings - How To: Perform an ArcGIS pro Soft Reset

I know the keyboard shortcut for displaying that white box that highlights vertices is pressing "T" while editing features. If you hold "T" and press SHIFT+CTRL+ALT at the same time, it turns it on permanently. I was able to turn it off by just pressing "T". You can try that and see if it helps.

As a side note, you can press F12 to access all ArcGIS Pro Keyboard Shortcut options and see what various keyboard letters do.

@ISGGISAdmin That's the snapping cache that shows if you hold the T key while sketching (creating features) and while snapping is enabled. It allows you to see what is able to be snapped to in the vicinity of the cursor. It shouldn't persist. Perhaps you need to hit the T key again like @Tamiller suggested. If it sticks around after closing and re-opening Pro then perhaps you have a stuck T key. If not, perhaps it was a fluke.

If you can reproduce it getting stuck again, please contact Esri Technical Support so they can investigate a possible bug.

Thank you!
