Hi, I can do this manually but is there an easier way? Can either Container or Parent be made Public please? public static GroupElement FindElementGroup(this Layout layout, Element elementToFind) { foreach (GroupElement groupElement in layout.GetNestedElements().OfType<GroupElement>().ToList()) { if (groupElement.Elements.Any(element => element.Name.Equals(elementToFind.Name))) { return groupElement; } } return null; }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ public static List<Element> GetNestedElements(this ILayoutElementContainer elementContainer) { List<Element> elements = elementContainer.Elements.ToList(); foreach (GroupElement groupElement in elementContainer.Elements.OfType<GroupElement>()) { elements.AddRange(groupElement.GetNestedElements()); } return elements; }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Adam ...

Hi, I want to revisit the requirement NOT to be in a QueuedTask to show a Dialog such as OpenItemDialog, SaveItemDialog and the CoordinateSystemPicker example. When in a QueuedTask the dialogs spin endlessly. I would like Esri to rethink this restriction. As an experiment we implemented a basic Coordinate System Picker that works in all conditions. The Esri dialog spins endlessly whilst waiting for the coordinate list to show. The line of code that creates a list of inbuilt Coordinate Systems is IReadOnlyList<CoordinateSystemListEntry> coordinateSystemListEntries =                 GeometryEngine.Instance.GetPredefinedCoordinateSystemList(                     CoordinateSystemFilter.GeographicCoordinateSystem | CoordinateSystemFilter.ProjectedCoordinateSystem); This function is not restricted on which thread it runs so I am unclear as to why the Esri Coordinate System Picker hangs. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/sdk/api-reference/index.html#topic15554.html Please rethink the internal design of these dialogs so that we can use them without restrictions. Thanks, Adam ... View more

Hi, At 2.5 still having issues getting dialogs to show correctly when used from within QueuedTask.Run. The Coordinate System Dialog is the one from the snippet collection This works from a button protected override void OnClick() { new SaveItemDialog().ShowDialog(); new CoordinateSystemDialog().ShowDialog(); } So does this protected override void OnClick() { FrameworkApplication.Current.Dispatcher.Invoke(() => new SaveItemDialog().ShowDialog()); FrameworkApplication.Current.Dispatcher.Invoke(() => { new CoordinateSystemDialog().ShowDialog(); }); } But this does not. protected override void OnClick() { QueuedTask.Run( () => { FrameworkApplication.Current.Dispatcher.Invoke(() => new SaveItemDialog().ShowDialog()); FrameworkApplication.Current.Dispatcher.Invoke(() => { new CoordinateSystemDialog().ShowDialog(); }); }); } The coordinate system dialog never completes loading. The Open/Save Dialogs do not show the contents of a fgdb. If I run the command again in the same session then the Open/Save Dialogs show the contents of a fgdb Is there a workaround whilst it's being fixed? Thanks, Adam ... View more

Hi, Cloning Layout using the code supplied by Esri no longer work in 2.5 - see question below Duplicate existing layout - ArcGIS Pro SDK  In the UI the layout is cloned but not renamed; the page size is lost. All the elements are shown but they don't exist! The element list in the cloned layout is empty. The elements can be selected but their properties cannot be shown. In code the layout exists but it does not have any elements. If the aprx is saved; closed and then reopened then actually the clone is OK. Is there a workaround to get the clone to update correctly?

Creating a group with a list of Elements works OK. If the group's name is changed then all the elements disappear into thin air. Layout layout = Project.Current.GetItems<LayoutProjectItem>().FirstOrDefault()?.GetLayout(); List<Element> elements = new List<Element>(); for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { List<Coordinate2D> lineCoordinates = new List<Coordinate2D> { new Coordinate2D { X = i, Y = 0 }, new Coordinate2D { X = i, Y = 100 } }; Polyline polylineTic = PolylineBuilder.CreatePolyline(lineCoordinates); CIMLineSymbol lineSym = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructLineSymbol(ColorFactory.Instance.BlackRGB, 1.0, SimpleLineStyle.Solid); GraphicElement lineElm = LayoutElementFactory.Instance.CreateLineGraphicElement(layout, polylineTic, lineSym); CIMElement cimElement = lineElm.GetDefinition(); cimElement.Name = "Line" + i; lineElm.SetDefinition(cimElement); elements.Add(lineElm); } GroupElement groupElement = LayoutElementFactory.Instance.CreateGroupElement(layout, elements); CIMElement cimGroupElement = groupElement.GetDefinition(); cimGroupElement.Name = "First Level Group"; groupElement.SetDefinition(cimGroupElement);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Adam ...

The more levels of group an element is put in the slower it is. 100 lines at root level 3 seconds 100 lines at Level1 14 seconds 100 lines at Level2 19 seconds It looks like Pro makes the Element at root level and then moves it which means there's a performance hit! Is there a way of speeding this up? Stopwatch stopwatch = new Stopwatch(); stopwatch.Start(); Layout layout = Project.Current.GetItems<LayoutProjectItem>().FirstOrDefault()?.GetLayout(); GroupElement groupElement = LayoutElementFactory.Instance.CreateGroupElement(layout); CIMElement cimGroupElement = groupElement.GetDefinition(); cimGroupElement.Name = "First Level Group"; groupElement.SetDefinition(cimGroupElement); GroupElement groupElement2 = LayoutElementFactory.Instance.CreateGroupElement(groupElement); for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { List<Coordinate2D> lineCoordinates = new List<Coordinate2D> { new Coordinate2D { X = i, Y = 0 }, new Coordinate2D { X = i, Y = 100 } }; Polyline polylineTic = PolylineBuilder.CreatePolyline(lineCoordinates); CIMLineSymbol lineSym = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructLineSymbol(ColorFactory.Instance.BlackRGB, 1.0, SimpleLineStyle.Solid); GraphicElement lineElm = LayoutElementFactory.Instance.CreateLineGraphicElement(groupElement2, polylineTic, lineSym); CIMElement cimElement = lineElm.GetDefinition(); cimElement.Name = "Line" + i; lineElm.SetDefinition(cimElement); } stopwatch.Stop(); Debug.Print((stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds / 1000).ToString());‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Adam ...

If I create a group at the layout level and then create elements in that group then all OK. When creating a named group within a group - elements are not correctly placed in the named group - they are placed directly on the layout instead. If I don't set the name then all OK. Layout layout = Project.Current.GetItems<LayoutProjectItem>().FirstOrDefault()?.GetLayout(); GroupElement groupElement = LayoutElementFactory.Instance.CreateGroupElement(layout); CIMElement cimGroupElement = groupElement.GetDefinition(); cimGroupElement.Name = "First Level Group"; groupElement.SetDefinition(cimGroupElement); GroupElement groupElement2 = LayoutElementFactory.Instance.CreateGroupElement(groupElement); CIMElement cimGroupElement2 = groupElement2.GetDefinition(); cimGroupElement2.Name = "Second Level Group"; groupElement2.SetDefinition(cimGroupElement2); for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { List<Coordinate2D> lineCoordinates = new List<Coordinate2D> { new Coordinate2D { X = i, Y = 0 }, new Coordinate2D { X = i, Y = 100 } }; Polyline polylineTic = PolylineBuilder.CreatePolyline(lineCoordinates); CIMLineSymbol lineSym = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructLineSymbol(ColorFactory.Instance.BlackRGB, 1.0, SimpleLineStyle.Solid); GraphicElement lineElm = LayoutElementFactory.Instance.CreateLineGraphicElement(groupElement2, polylineTic, lineSym); CIMElement cimElement = lineElm.GetDefinition(); cimElement.Name = "Line" + i; lineElm.SetDefinition(cimElement); }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Adam ...
