Re-opened, but I contend the other idea is non-destructive and meets the workflow you mention. Alternatively, layer effects (which are on the ArcGIS Pro roadmap) will also provide a draw time swap to grayscale for individual layers without a destructive change to symbols. ... View more

@IlkaIllers1 Sorry for the delay in replying. What's unclear to me is whether these are straight labels along the line or horizontal near the line. You use both terms. I'm also not sure why aligning to the direction of the line doesn't work because that's the stated original reason for wanting to rotate them according to direction. Would it be possible to provide a picture of a map showing exactly you're looking for? ... View more

We have no plans to do this for the symbology itself, but adding grayscale to the color vision simulation options and applying it to the whole view is under consideration as noted at this idea: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/add-black-amp-white-option-to-color-vision/idi-p/1380527 ...

Annotation isn't going anywhere. We have numerous users in the parcel community who are successfully working with annotation. We also have users who are successful with just labeling. Both workflows or a mix are supported. We're continuing to grow both annotation and labeling capabilities in ArcGIS Pro and across the ArcGIS product suite.

In ArcGIS Pro we've brought the capabilities of representation symbols into standard symbols so they can be stored in a layer file with any data source including shapefiles. ... View more

@MErikReedAugusta The Console() function can be used to report state when validating expressions. In attribute rules it will log to the debug app log. There isn't any other console in ArcGIS Pro. As for your comment about standardizing the implementation across all places - this is very much our goal and we have a large shared test suite against the implementations. If you have cases where this is not occurring, they should be reported as bugs. If you have additional profiles you'd like to see in places where they're not available, those should be logged as enhancement requests. In terms of the editor experience - we are currently looking into syncing up editor experiences albeit with some differences related to the host applications the editor is used in. ... View more

At the ArcGIS Pro 3.3 release we’ve added capabilities to Vary symbology by attribute > Size and Color to account for cases Quantity by Category symbolization handled in ArcMap. Unlike ArcMap, this isn't a specific symbology option. ArcGIS Pro supports numerous multivariate visualization capabilities, so we've updated them to support the full Quantity by Category workflow. For Size: When combining Unique Values symbology with Vary symbology by attribute > Size you can now classify the data instead of using a continuous size variation. When the data is classified, you can choose to Show expanded legend which will show the permutations of each classed size for each unique value. For Color: When combining Unique Values symbology with Vary symbology by attribute > Color you can now classify the data instead of using a continuous size variation. There are two options for how to apply the color scheme: Overwrite all color attributes and Preserve hues only. Use the Preserve hues only option to show color variation for each unique hue of the unique values you have in their map. You can choose to Show expanded legend which will show the permutations of each classed color for each unique value. ... View more

ArcGIS Desktop is in mature support and will be retired March 1, 2026 so we won’t be considering this idea. We recommend that you migrate to ArcGIS Pro, our fully supported desktop GIS application. See Migrate from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro for more information. Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas. We truly appreciate your contributions to continuously improving the software to help you do your work and look forward to what ideas you have for ArcGIS Pro. ... View more
