The ArcGIS Pro 2.1 Beta is now available, and with it are new SDK updates.

At Pro 2.1, there are some significant enhancements to the Pro SDK, most notably new API namespaces for Annotation, Layout and the Utility Network.  We’ll be discussing these areas in new posts over the coming weeks.

To try out the new Annotation and Layout functionality in the Pro Beta, you can sign up for the Early Adopter Community at the link above.  The utility network functionality will be available with the Pro 2.1 and ArcGIS 10.6 Final releases which are planned for January.

New Learning Resources Available

A helpful new Pro SDK blog post by Uma Harano, from the ArcGIS Desktop SDK Team, is now available on GeoNet – Create custom Project and Application settings using the ArcGIS Pro SDK.   The post walks through how these settings can be used and included with your add-in, and introduces a new Custom Settings ProGuide document.

Also, a new Live Training Seminar (LTS) is now available for Desktop Developers and GIS Managers:  Building ArcGIS Pro Add-Ins and Solution Configurations.   Rob Burke, an instructor with Esri Training Services, is back for another interesting seminar on the Pro SDK, and this time he dives into the topic of Solution Configurations.  Rob’s LTS is another helpful resource for new Pro SDK developers.

Hi,

Does Annotation Arcgis pro SDK 2.1 support create a new  annotation with the (polygon, polyline, text) element or group element ( like below Arcobjects annotation in picture) ?  İf not, are there any alternative way to store this kind of elements in Pro SDK ?

ArcObjects:

Code:

IFeatureLayer featureLayer=Utility.GetAnnotationFeatureLayer("ANNOTATIONFC", map);

IFeature feature = featureLayer.FeatureClass.CreateFeature();

(feature as IAnnotationFeature).Annotation = groupElement as IElement;

feature.Store();

Best Regards

The Annotation model in ArcGIS Pro only supports TextGraphics at this time.  That said, it's likely the image above could be constructed with a TextGraphic with a PointSymbolCallout providing the background.

We're evaluating support for graphic types other than Text for the future,

Thanks for answering Craig,

But arcgis pro sdk does support it TextGraphics Annotation model , can we create new text annotation using with pro sdk's command(Button or MapTool)  ? İf supports there is not any example , can you shere the example with us.
