I have added a Map Grid to my Map Frame in ArcGIS Pro and would like the grid labels to be on the inside of the frame. I have managed to offset the position of the ticks to the inside; however, any attempt to offset the coordinate labels does nothing. I've been trying to do it with the following steps:

Format Map Grid > Select 'Labels' from dropdown > Properties > Position > then changing the values of Offset X / Offset Y. Whatever I do, the labels stay in the same position.

Any suggestions welcome!
Many thanks,
Rob

Xander and rob.wardARC, I just tested in the daily build of Pro 2.1 and this issue has been resolved.  2.1 should be out in January so upgrade when that is available and things should work well.

Cheers

It seems to me that Esri could almost have an entire webinar series of showing how to best manage and handle labeling in ArcGIS Pro! Or maybe a full blown MOOC for it as well!

Hey Adrian,

Labeling, or working in a layout?  Or both?

Here is a good start to get familiar with layouts in Pro: Make a layout—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop

Kory,

Thanks for the resource. I just mean labeling in general (which is best handled in layout view since that's how we will see 'static' labels when printed, etc.). Basically an exploration on how to go above and beyond when needing to have a little complexity to labels; things like that.

Kory,

Thanks for sharing that. I'll have to check it out! (of course, I need to find a free 30 minutes somewhere!)

OMG, This is soooo messed up...  I did not see this problem when working with small layout sizes such as letter or tabloid. As soon as I put a grid on an Arch D size, I was having very very difficult time adjusting offsets and the length of tics. This is a bug for sure. If ESR had a better way of reporting bugs (Click on a report a bug link, describe the problem, submit) i would have reported it but I could not bother going through the insane process.... This thread confirmed that I was not loosing my mind and that Pro is still very much an Alfa release but also pointed me to a kind of a workaround: 

In my case - click on the Grid in the TOC and adjust offset - only once and tab away. Then click on the map frame to deselect the grid on the TOC then come back in and adjust another value - either change the offset again or change the length of the tics.  You can only change 1 single value at a time otherwise the grid items will go all crazy or become non-responsive.  adjusting 1 property then getting out of the grid properties and clicking on another TOC item then getting back into the grid proerties and repeating this one value at a time is highly annoying but worked for me.

Jakub. The behavior in this thread was referring to ArcGIS Pro 2.0 and from looking through the comments, seems like it was resolved in 2.1.  What version of Pro are you running now?
