Hi, I am using the latest stable build of the survey 123 app on a 5th generation Ipad mini. When I attempt to add an image to the survey, the camera interface displays a distorted field of view, stretched a bit horizontally and cropped vertically. The actual image capture looks correct but it is hard to tell if we are capturing the full image because of the cropping that occurs in the view. Is there a setting for aspect ratio that needs to be set to work correctly with an Ipad mini? Display looks good on the iphone. b ... View more

Hi, I am creating my first Pro layout and am struggling with a couple basic things. I have tried searching help and have learned a lot, but I have lingering questions: I inserted a text rectangle and can't figure out how to include a bulleted list. I inserted a text rectangle and can't figure out how to format a portion of a sentence. I have reviewed this page, but have not been able to get a portion of a sentence formatted using the <BOL>Text</BOL> tags. Does this not work in a text rectangle? Thanks ... View more

Hi, I have 50 aerials images (.tif, 4 band, 8 bit unsigned, 30cm). I created a mosaic dataset to display them. Then I use the mosaic to new raster tool to create a raster that I can run a supervised image classification on. I have been unable to get the new raster to come together correctly. I have tried many different settings and the result always includes areas that are black, no data or 0,0,0 areas. These areas display as having data when I load the image tiles individually but I must admit I can't seem to get the display of the mosaic dataset to work very well either. build overviews or no? build pyramids or no? How many levels? what about statistics? I have hunted for straightforward guidance on 4 band .tifs but have had no luck so have been running the trial and error gamut and have yet to get the mosaic or new raster from mosaic to display well at a range of full extent down to 1:5000. What parameters should I be focusing on in troubleshooting this? ... View more

Greetings, I am looking for advice on building a cost vs benefits model. I am using ArcGIS Pro and have the Spatial Analyst extension. I am working with a rural community on assessing the costs and benefits of maintaining their road system. Each road segment has a estimated cost per year for maintenance and I am trying to figure out a way to estimate benefits made available to the community by maintaining each road segment.  The values we would like to use for the benefits side of the equation would come from a combination of layers: a raster for vegetation and a point file for points of interest. I was thinking of using a buffer for the road to generate a value for each segment, but was also hoping to include some recognition of the values that may not be within the buffer distance but are accessible further down the road because the road segment in question provides access to other road segments with very high values. Any ideas or references would be greatly appreciated. bob ... View more

Hi, I am cleaning up polylines in a 100,000 acre area that were originally created using a GPS while driving. I need to clean these lines up at about 1:5,000 so I can see how they align with a high resolution DEM and I am getting lost as far as knowing where I have already checked the polylines within the project area.   Is there a way to create a grid that would indicated where I have already done the editing? I can imagine creating a shapefile that grids the project area into equal areas of 1,000 acres (how to do that?) with two classes, one for "reviewed" and one for "not reviewed", and then manually editing the shapefile grid to help me keep track, but this seems kinda clunky and I was wondering what other folks do in this kind of situation. Thanks~ ... View more

Hi there,  I am adding newly acquired ortho images to an arcgis pro project and the display does not look very good compared to adding the same images to an arcmap project. What can I do with pro settings to insure that ortho images display the most detail at all scales? Thank you. b ... View more
