In ArcMap I can select the "Go To XY" tool, input my X and Y values, and then select the "Add Point" button and a marker is created at that location. Does ArcGis Pro have this fuctionality.

Hi Benny,

Here is an editing-centric method for creating a point feature at a specific XYZ location:

1. Add a point feature class to the map if you don't have one already. You can use Map Notes if you want : 

2. From the Edit tab > click Create:

3. From the Create Features pane, choose the point template:

4. Right click on the map and choose Absolute X,Y,Z (or use the F6 keyboard shortcut):

5. Choose the desired location units, type in your values and hit ENTER:

6. The point will be created at that location and will be selected. You can zoom to the location if needed by using this button on the bottom right corner of the map:

Thanks,
