Since upgrading to ArcGIS pro 3.1.6 the coordinate window no longer appears at the bottom of the pop up window. It used to display the coordinates of a mouse click in decimal degrees. I have tried configure pop up and navigation options, neither of which fix the issue. I use this feature a lot and its absence adds several mouse clicks to a task I perform hundreds of times a day.
The way I understand (correct me if I am wrong) it is that Pop-ups are intended to work on feature layers and expose their attributes amongst other things. The click location must intersect one or more valid layers to return coordinate locations. Clicking on the esri World Imagery raster basemap alone for example does not return coordinate information to the Pop-up.
From the Help:
Coordinate values
Feature coordinate values are displayed at the bottom of the pop-up window and can be selected to copy and paste into other applications. The values shown come from the geometry of the selected feature in the pop-up list. If your pop-up contains more than one identified feature, the coordinate value changes when you select a different feature in the list. The coordinates are not the clicked location on the map.
Tip: To capture the coordinates of a clicked location, right-click that location and click Copy Coordinates
. The current coordinates are copied to the clipboard. To use a different format, expand the Convert Coordinate submenu and click the desired final format. Alternatively, use the Coordinate Conversion button
in the Inquiry group of the Map tab, to copy single, multiple, or specific components of a coordinate.
Try This:
Click the Explore tool anywhere within a polygon feature; the coordinates of the polygon centroid are displayed in the Pop-up regardless of where you click. Click anywhere on a line feature to display the coordinates of the midpoint.
