I have a tool/script that performed exceptionally well in ArcMap both as a tool/script and as an Add-in. However, I've been attempting to convert it to ArcGIS Pro without success. This tool/script in ArcMap allowed users to calculate the distance between two points with just two clicks, essentially creating a polyline that conveyed the length for further calculations. It also generated a point and updated a field based on this calculation. Although I've attempted to replicate the parameters from ArcMap in Pro, the tool fails to function as expected. It doesn't allow me to click on the map or initiate any actions. How can I go about ensuring this script works in ArcGIS Pro?
The noticeable difference that I see in the parameters section is that script in pro doesn't have Schema.
ArcMap parameters:
Input - Feature Set-
Type - Required
Direction - Input
MultiValue - no
Schema - points to the Point layer
