I imported a MXD into an ArcGIS Pro project and everything came over including the legend. However, the legend now shows all the features in the map. There are too many features in the map to show them all in the legend at one time, which is why I am trying to find the setting to only show the features in the current extent. I cannot find this setting, did it make it into ArcGIS Pro?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thanks Mervyn. However, that is what I have already done. My challenge is that this does not work when I have group layes in the map. It only works when the map only contains layers that are not grouped.
What version of Pro are you currently working with where you see this behavior with group layers?
I wonder if you should create a new thread for this as it shows as answered, so you my not get ESRI personnel to see this apparent deficiency.
Thanks for your answer! It's version 2.1.3. Perhaps i should create a new thread. I still have some challenges as you can see below.
It is working on my group layers. Not sure why not for you. As Michael asked, what version are you using?
It is also working for me in an ArcGIS Pro project, but it is not working when I publish a printing web tool and use it in Web AppBuilder. (ArcGIS Pro version 2.1.3).
I am not sure I explained this properly in the earlier posts. It is more important to me that it works in the web tool than in ArcGIS Pro.
Unfortunately I dont know whether this is possible in Web AppBuilder but do reach out to https://community.esri.com/community/gis/web-gis/web-appbuilder.
Is the option, of only show features visible in the map extent available when creating a legend for a Local Scene? I'm using ArcGIS Pro 2.2.2. If it's not available for Scenes would there be some kind of workaround?
Hi Emilie,
Currently only show features visible in the map extent is only supported for 2D maps. Unfortunately, I'm unaware of any workarounds. This is something we hope to support in the future.

Hi there, is seems as this solution is outdated. Does the current version of ArcGIS Pro have a different option?
Pro 3.1 - This option keeps disappearing from the menu. It was there for me just yesterday, I haven't updated, not a thing has changed. Now what? Back to ArcMap yet again.
