ArcGIS Pro 3.2.1: The “explore” tool appears to select instead of identify,
I observed that the “explore” tool appears to select instead of identify.
Is this a bug?
Navigation—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation
The default tool for maps and scenes is the Explore tool Explore Tool, which is used to move, pan, identify feature attributes via a pop-up, and zoom in and out of maps and scenes.
See the accompanying help document for functionality with that tool
How come the “explore” tool behave as if it is a “select” tool?
I don't know in your case, but I have it set up with popups enabled so when I click on the feature, it gets selected and a popup appears
So I'm not seeing this behavior in my ArcGIS Pro 3.2.1 application. I can "cause" it to happen by clicking the small tool bottom right of the Pop-up window - "Toggle selection of this feature on the active map or scene" but it does not happen automatically. You can try a soft factory reset of ArcGIS Pro by changing the name of the ESRI folder to ESRI_OLD in your C:\users\<user_profile>\appdata\local and C:\users\<user_profile>\appdata\roaming to see if the behavior exists afterwards.
To replicate the issue, please, follow the steps below:
Is this a bug or by design?
After you created feature, it will automatically be selected. Click on 'Clear' to deselect it, then use Pop-up/Explore tool.
I’m not creating features here! I’m creating lineage!
Please, have a look on the screenshots that better illustrate the workflow to replicate the issue
the sample data is attached
Understood. YES! On the screenshots looks strange, actually as BUG. (?!?). In AGP version 3.0 and 3.2 Identify function (explore tool) not working correctly on related data; in 3.0-3.04 (not checked later Paches) explore tool doesn't return correct data. In 3.2 can't to return any related without adding related table to map! I can't explicitly say that this related to your case but obviously (on some way) related to Identify function. Maybe contacting support to confirm or reject this skepsis is best solution.
Good luck.
@BSBlagojevic - the workflow you describe is BUG-000163247 - "In ArcGIS Pro 3.2, clicking a feature with the Explore tool active does not display attributes from a related table unless the table is added to the map. Meanwhile, in ArcGIS Pro 3.1.3, the table does not need to be added to the map for the related record attributes to be displayed." This has been fixed for the upcoming ArcGIS Pro 3.3 release this year.
