In order for the task to run (when you're logged off) you need to right-click on Pro, run as different user, use the logon for the service account running the task, log that service account into AGOL (Portals). This is significantly different than how to run a schedule python task in the ArcMap world, which only required a headless account baked into the py script to be able to interact with AGOL, and one I hope ESRI changes soon, as this hokey workaround is not sustainable.  https://community.esri.com/thread/221292-python-script-as-sheduled-task-arcgis-pro https://community.esri.com/thread/197493-python-3x-scheduled-task-fails From https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/arcpy/get-started/installing-python-for-arcgis-pro.htm Authorizing Python outside the application If you run Python scripts that use ArcGIS Pro functionality outside of the ArcGIS Pro application, such as a Python IDE, from a command prompt, or running scripts through scheduled tasks, one of the following conditions must be true: Sign me in automatically is checked when signing in to ArcGIS Pro. ArcGIS Pro is currently open. ArcGIS Pro has been authorized to work offline. is false, as, in meeting "ArcGIS Pro has been authorized to work offline." and "Sign me in automatically is checked when signing in to ArcGIS Pro.", the scheduled task fails unless Pro is "ArcGIS Pro is currently open.", which means all three conditions must be met, not just one.  ...

I might be missing the Captain Obvious here...I did: import arcpy import random in_point = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) def radarBufferPoint(in_point, num_vertices, distance, spread=0.3, seed=None, srid=None): random.seed(seed) if num_vertices > 360: num_vertices = 360 if not isinstance(in_point, arcpy.PointGeometry): in_point = arcpy.PointGeometry(in_point, arcpy.SpatialReference(srid)) pts = [ in_point.pointFromAngleAndDistance( angle, random.uniform((1-spread)*distance, (1+spread)*distance) ) for angle in range(0, 360, 360/num_vertices) ] pg = arcpy.Polygon( arcpy.Array([pt.firstPoint for pt in pts]), in_point.spatialReference ) return pg and...nothing.. I suspect I need a few more code blocks, but I can't even write a python print statement without help from Dan Patterson‌ ... View more

What are the exact steps to reproduce? Every little detail is important...I ask because...there is a known issue when copying layouts where there is a basemap in the map being brought into the copied layout: depending on how you're calling for the map, the map will zoom to the default extent of the basemap, which blows up even my 48 core on-a-fiber-network machine, which sadly is the default behavior. Your mention of the scale changing confirms my suspicion. Try the same operation with maps that have no base map, and the only data is coming from a local FGDB.  ... View more

The two-point line tool (continue) doesn't really work in this situation, which calls for a single-part closed line with many vertices-that workaround creates many separate line segments The 5-step workaround......sure seems like a lot of extra mouse clicks...... This works perfectly fine in ArcMap: I can start digitizing my line, drop a bunch of vertices, when I move to the first vertex (to close the loop), and take all the time I want to decide if that is really my last vertex, the "snap" remains, and the last line segment doesn't disappear.  Which leads to the oft-asked question..carpal-tunnel suffers want to know......why the change? Why not throw a funct key on top of the "...if a vertex needs to be moved, you can simply hover over it" that users can hit if they desire this function, and revert to the default, efficient editing behavior? Great hearing that improvements will be forthcoming, hopefully we'll see the return of the ArcMap functionality.  ... View more
