Stylus Support in ArcGIS Pro

[JeromeHaaland]

How is it possible for ArcGIS Pro to NOT have stylus support?

I have a brand new Lenovo P52s (it is an awesome little laptop) and have used a Wacom digitizer for years to efficiently edit data.  Now as I try to move my GIS workflows to ArcGIS Pro, something as simple as trying to use a stylus does not work.

I also installed ArcGIS Pro on a Samsung Galaxy Book PC (a great little tablet PC with a beautiful stylus).  Again no way to use the stylus in ArcGIS Pro.

What year do we live in???  And how long is ESRI going to take to develop ArcGIS Pro???

How can ESRI not fundamentally understand that their software is used by businesses that depend upon fluid easy use of their software?

ESRI seems to have some fundamental management problems.  The low level tech support at ESRI is awesome.  They always work very hard to address problems.  However, as soon as a problem has to be elevated above a low level tech person, nothing is ever changed.  Problems just drag on and on forever.

ESRI middle and upper management... Wake up and pull your thumbs out.....

Thank you for the information Jerome.  Just emailed Kory about this thread so he's aware of it and better handle your request, development plans, etc.

Jerome, a little more context on that request.  This was in 2015 and at the time the note on the enhancement request was "Currently, we have no immediate plans to add stylus support for ArcGIS Pro map navigation."

Since then, we have two customers attached to this request.  Is what you're looking for Drawing Tablet toolbar and compatibility in Arcgis Pro‌?  If so, could you please visit that idea and add to the comments some detail about the work you need to do that requires (or would be better/more productive, etc.) if Pro had stylus support?

Thank you!

Kory,

I guess you are going to think I am the rudest person in the world.

How do you expect a stylus would be used with your software? Should we have a talk about how to use the pencil?

And why do I still have to hit refresh (F5) in the catalog pane?

OK, thanks.

I just want to chime in here to ask if any progress was made with using a stylus in Pro?

I'm trying to use a Wacom Cintiq 24" digitizer display and it's impossible in ArcGIS Pro, unless I am missing a setting. Basically, it acts like every tool is a pan tool. So whenever you use the pen, it pans the map. 

I'm not ruling out the Wacom drivers as a culprit, as they are terrible on Windows 10, although it did work pretty good in ArcMap.

Hi Andy,

I'd encourage you to up vote this idea and also add in the comments your requirements for using a digitizer with ArcGIS Pro.

There is also this enhancement request - if you'd like to be attached to it (which helps development teams to prioritize the work; and for your tracking purposes) please contact Technical Support.  Esri Support Home 

[ENH-000091405: Add stylus support for navigation within ArcGIS Pro.]

Thanks.

I had already upvoted the Idea, but I will also try to add myself to the enhancement request. It just seems crazy to have this $2000+ tablet and not be able to use it. Thanks.
