Pro 3.1 - Graphics size limit of 10MB - workaround needed

KeithAddison1 · ‎03-07-2023

How do I get around this:

I have an aprx that was made from an mxd containing hundreds of graphics items. Not converted labels, just a bunch of raster images that were inserted in several ways (reason for varying methods was to get around various export bugs in ArcMap). Now I have this to get around. A 10MB limit ? Why?

To add: ArcMap would let you add graphics into your map with seemingly no limit. This is an equivalency issue. The mxd I imported into Pro from had at least 170 MB of graphics in it, Pro was able to import these, provided I broke them down into 10 MB chunks. So now I have an aprx with 15 or so graphics layers. When I try to make a new graphics layer OR add to the existing ones, I get this 10 MB limit error. Obviously its possible to have more than 10 MB of graphics in an aprx, I have that right now. I just can't add more graphics. Why not? Did ESRI nerf their own program for some reason?

I have run into the same issue. I need to have JPGs shown on a map, from a field visit. However, each individual photo (taken with a common iphone) is around 10 MB. Therefore, I can only include ONE photo as a graphic on my map? This seems like an oversight by ESRI. I would like to increase the limit considerably.
