I can not reproduce this issue.  You will need to open an incident with Support so they can collect all the necessary information (i.e., hardware, os, etc) to reproduce the issue. Thanks, Jeff ... View more

I don't see the issue.  In your screenshot, the scales are 5000 and 4014, correct?  They appear to be the 10th [9] field in the list.   Jeff ... View more

David, here is the response from one of our developers concerning angular units: "The way angular units are converted to linear units for this purpose in Pro is to get the circumference of the datum from the spatial reference. The circumference is determined by the major axis of the datum. This circumference represents 360 degrees or 2pi radians, so the conversion would be circumference/360 (linear units (m) per degree). Note that in ArcMap there was just a hardcoded constant, regardless of which datum was used." I hope this helps, Jeff - Layout Team ... View more

David, map graphics are NEW at Pro 2.6.  This is ArcMap equivalency functionality being added.  The graphics are drawn in map space on for a given map.  They appear as graphics layers (similar to a feature layer) in a map's TOC and scale like features and are persisted in a project with a map.  They are NOT stored in a GDB. They honor the maps settings including Spatial Reference and rotation changes.  There is a limited SDK for map graphics at 2.6 but we have plans to introduce bulk creators to increase performance later.  I'm not saying its your solution but it may be something worth looking into.

Hello David, I will need to get back to you because I do not know the answer to you question.  But I'm curious, at Pro 2.6 we are introducing map graphics.  The ability to digitize map graphic elements (text, shapes, etc) onto a map view (or an activated layout).  Those graphics live in map space but display just the same if the map is added to a mapframe on a layout.  Will this be a better solution for you?

Hello Brennan.  Thanks for your request/idea.  There are a couple of things we want to do:  First, in the UI, like with Legends, is to have a fitting strategy for rectangle text.  For example, multiple columns, shrink text or enlarge box.  The problem enlarging the box is knowing which direction.  Perharps we can have options like change only width, change only height or change both by maintaining the aspect ratio. Second, provide a boolean that returns if a the information fits in its envelope.  This can apply to area text, scale bars, legends, etc.  Having this before the item above would allow you to iterate through sizes until all text fit.

Thanks Brett!  I can reproduce with a rectangle element.  I had tried picture (I thought your title element was a picture).  For me it doesn't matter if CM is enabled or not or even color model.  I always get the outline.  We will look into this for 2.6.  Jeff ... View more

Hi Brett, its always great when you answer your own question but ... We do have a fix going into Pro 2.6 that does address color management in our APIs.  Switching to RGB is not always a solution. Curious, did your outlines go away when you changed to RGB?  That doesn't make sense and I can NOT reproduce that scenario. Also - are you running your scripts stand-alone?  Do you see a difference if you perform the same export using CURRENT? Thanks Jeff ... View more

Hi Brett!  Would it be possible for you to send me a small PPKX? Jeff ... View more

Hello James, I believe this is as expected.  You should get the same behavior with standard point feature classes.  With Map Series in Pro we allow point feature classes to be used but to derive an extent we need a center point AND a scale to generate an extent.  That scale can be a constant or driven from a field. Please correct me if I'm misunderstanding, Jeff - Layout Team ... View more

We added a new method at ArcGIS Pro 2.6 called Element.GetBounds([bool rotated = false]) that will return either the unrotated or rotated envelope for an element. Layout layout = LayoutView.Active.Layout; await QueuedTask.Run(() => { //Reference text element and get rotated and unrotated envelope TextElement txtElm = layout.FindElement("Text") as TextElement; Envelope bounds = txtElm.GetBounds(false); Envelope rot_bounds = txtElm.GetBounds(true); //Draw both envelopes on layout CIMStroke lineStroke1 = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructStroke(ColorFactory.Instance.BlackRGB, 1, SimpleLineStyle.DashDotDot); CIMStroke lineStroke2 = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructStroke(ColorFactory.Instance.RedRGB, 1, SimpleLineStyle.DashDotDot); LayoutElementFactory.Instance.CreatePolygonGraphicElement(layout, bounds, SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructPolygonSymbol(ColorFactory.Instance.RedRGB, SimpleFillStyle.Null, lineStroke1)); LayoutElementFactory.Instance.CreatePolygonGraphicElement(layout, rot_bounds, SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructPolygonSymbol(ColorFactory.Instance.RedRGB, SimpleFillStyle.Null, lineStroke2)); });‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Jeff - Layout Team ...
