I haven't seen issues with the GPU cause geoprocessing to fail to load before, that is an interesting theory. If anyone is still having the problem, can they try to delete any files from the folder C:\Users\{yourusername}\AppData\Local\ESRI\Local Caches then restart Pro to see if it is able to load the system tools? Restarting Pro should generate two files that start with g* in the above directory, one ~50kb and one ~400kb. If it is still failing to load the system tools, please try to execute a simple arcpy command from the Python window in Pro, and see if the method fails - something simple like arcpy.GetInstallInfo(). If this fails, there is a serious problem with the Python environment, and this knowledge will help with further troubleshooting.

Hello all, You should absolutely not need to uninstall all Esri or Python-related software on your machine - this is not by design and I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing it. One thing that can cause problems with the geoprocessing cache is if you have a PYTHONPATH system environment variable set to a non-Pro Python installation. This was the cause of the crashes described here. ArcGIS Desktop and Server since 10.2 hasn't required the use of the PYTHONPATH system variable, so if you are still using it I suggest to clean it up. Drew

This issue was caused by the PYTHONPATH environmental variable pointing to an ArcGIS Desktop 10.3 Python folder. These PYTHONPATH variables are no longer needed since Desktop 10.0, and can be deleted. Removing the variable value caused the crashing to stop for Terry. In the next release of Pro the crash has been addressed even if the PYTHONPATH variable still exists.

Please contact technical support with this issue. It could be a problem with the Python installation in Pro, or numerous other things. You can try to run a simple arcpy command in the Pro Python window to see if Python is OK. For example arcpy.GetInstallInfo() Tech support will be able to guide you through and likely find a workaround. Thanks -Drew

Hello, Have you reported the issue to technical support? If so, can you let me know the BUG ID? That would be the very best way to get the issue into the system so it can be fixed in a next release. Thanks, Drew

Interactive line profiling is not yet available in ArcGIS Pro, it will be added in a future release. Around the 1.2-1.3 time frame.

You cannot set this option specifically for geoprocessing. However you can set a mapping option so that newly added layers are not visible (turned off in the Contents pane). This applied to geoprocessing as well. Make newly added layers visible setting

Service area maps are cool! Generate Service Areas is a ready-to-use service tool accessed from logistics.arcgis.com. The tool is using network data hosted by Esri on arcgis.com. You can learn more about these services here, ArcGIS Network Analysis services.

Hello, The ability to export from ModelBuilder to a Python script was removed from ArcGIS Pro 1.1 because it did not match user expectations to provide a one-to-one export of your model to Python. The scripts generated by exported models were missing nested sub-models, and did not include iterators, feedback loops, and in-line variable substitution. Models with these components would require major changes that most people who use Export are not able to make themselves. There is currently no plan to add this capability back into ArcGIS Pro. ModelBuilder export to Python was often used by those who wanted to learn the Python syntax for a geoprocessing tool, or who wanted a Python script that could execute their existing workflow of geoprocessing tools. Others wanted a Python script so the workflow could be run through Windows Task Scheduler. You can use these alternatives to accomplish these goals: Start by building and saving a model, then create a new Python script file (which is just a text file with .py extension), then using a text editor or Python IDE add lines to the new script to import arcpy, import the toolbox containing your model, and finally run the model. Now when you run the Python script (double click the .py file from Windows explorer, or execute it from Task Scheduler) it is actually running your model. import arcpy arcpy.ImportToolbox(r"c:\pathtotbx\Toolbox.tbx", "mytools") arcpy.MyModel_mytools(r"c:\modelinputs\Data.gdb\InputFeatures") In ArcGIS Pro you can copy the Python syntax for any geoprocessing tool you have run. Go to Project>Geoprocessing History, right-click any tool, and select Copy Python Command to copy the exact Python syntax needed to run the geoprocessing tool with the same parameter settings previously used.

Hi, we need some more details. What is the path to your output? Is it a file, personal, or sde geodatabase? Or a shapefile? Some old versions of file geodatabases are not supported, you would first need to upgrade the gdb by opening the geodatabase general properties and clicking the Upgrade button. You also need at least a Standard ArcGIS for Desktop license, Basic doesn't have geodatabase attachment functionality.

Hello everyone, Can you let us know the software you installed that set the PYTHONHOME variable? I've tested, and just setting that variable alone does not cause ArcGIS Pro to crash, so there must be something more. Thanks

Hi everyone, another thing to try.... Before that, has anyone logged an issue with Esri support? That would be a big help if you haven't done it already. So, please try removing the toolbox "Space Time Pattern Mining Tools.pyt" from the install directory: C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\Resources\ArcToolBox\Toolboxes\ You can just move it onto your desktop for safe keeping. Then fire up ArcGIS Pro and see if the crash still occurs when loading the Analysis ribbon. Thanks, Drew

This is interesting...starting in one of the later Pro betas, the default install directory was changed to C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro. Will you check what your install directory is please? Also, there is another pth file at C:\Python34\Lib\site-packages\ArcGISPro.pth, please let us know the contents of this file.
