Permanently reorder fields in an existing feature class without exporting it
In ArcGIS Pro, I added a new field to an existing feature class, moved it to a specific position in the Fields view, and saved. However, when I reopen the data, the field appears at the end again. Is there a supported way to permanently change the field order in the existing feature class, so it is retained when the data…

ArcGIS Pro Map Colors Print Differently from the PDF — How Can I Find the Cause?
Hi everyone, I’m troubleshooting a print-quality issue with maps exported from ArcGIS Pro. The map looks fine on screen, but the printed version sometimes has faded colors and lighter-than-expected lines, especially in areas with detailed map features.

Ongoing drama with memory workspace
I use arcpy.da.FeatureClassToNumPyArray with option EXPLODE TO POINTS to extract vertices of polygons/polylines. It is followed by arcpy.da.FeatureClassToNumPyArray conversion to points.

Typing into Attributes with Domains No Longer Sorting Correctly
Has anyone else noticed with the recent ArcPro 3.5 versions that typing into an attribute field that has a domain list is sorting completely differently now? Fore example, I used to type an "R" and only items beginning with an R would show up, sorted alphabetically. Now it is showing everything containing the letter R…

This is different than the current measure features as measure features will measure the entire feature, where "Trace Measurement" will measure a portion of a feature as needed by the user. Example use:…

I would like to be able to make changes to the layer and have those changes only apply to a single map frame. A recent use case I had was I had multiple map frames in a layout, and in some of those frames I wanted to…

Page Query Based on Layout Properties
I would like to see the Page Query be able to reference a property of the layout outside Data Driven Pages. This would let a user set a property on the layout and pass that along to the query property of a layer or layers.
