UPDATES AS OF: December 17th, 2024
HAZUS? X-Tools? GeoRAS? That picture of Jerry Garcia when you typed 'jerry' in a new edit session?
We would like to know what add-ons/plugins are preventing you from moving to ArcGIS Pro from ArcMap.
The goal of this post/blog is to record and track the add-ons/plugins that the education community has let us know are a roadblock for moving to ArcGIS Pro.
In the comments - please let us know about other add-ons that are not on the list and we will work to update the main post.
The goal for this post is not to discuss ArcMap/ArcGIS Pro features/functions... that is taking place in many other locations, we want to hear about add-ons, etc.
Lastly - almost all of the organizations that are managing or building these plugins have contact forms and message boards. Please use these avenues to let these teams/individuals know about your need for an ArcGIS Pro version.

In early 2023, we were approached by a funder who was willing to underwrite this effort. Discussions are ongoing and we hope to have an update on this initiative later in 2023." |
