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. This particular request was a focus of development work in the ArcGIS Pro application framework and ArcGIS Pro has finer grained undoable operations. ... View more

This has been implemented. If you do not see line numbers, Right click on a blank space in the editor and enable them. The Arcade element in the popup not using the Arcade editor is a separate issue we have an internally logged bug for. That UX lacks all Arcade features. I will expose a bug for tracking purposes shortly and update this post. We've logged an issue for this as BUG-000165664. ... View more

Do you know if it works best if I set the white class to a value of zero first, then set this class as the critical value? Generally classify first, set the critical break, and then apply symbology. ... View more

In ArcGIS Pro we made the decision to bring display capabilities of Representations into the core symbology model. The two main exceptions being shape overrides and marker overrides. We're collecting feedback on the need to shape overrides in this ArcGIS Pro Idea, so please add you feedback to this item if possible. That said, I believe your case can be achieved without a shape override. Using control points and a suppress effect you can suppress segments between the control points. Control points do require a small geometry update (see this topic for how to achieve this in the Pro UI). At the API level this involves marking the ID (MapPoint.ID) of a vertex to 1. ... View more

Note that ArcGIS Pro supports colors from color models other than RGB, so it's not possible to represent all colors in HEX (an RGB scheme) without potential loss (e.g. out of gamut colors). ... View more

Implemented with the Auto Apply option in the symbol editor in ArcGIS Pro 3.2. ... View more

There are Load (folder) and Export (arrow) commands at the bottom of the expression builder. ... View more

Geoprocessing tools are not renamed once released. Additionally, this tool is implemented with hydro workflows in mind. It may work for other cases, but ideally a separate tool should be created for non-hydro cases. ... View more

Dirk, we're unable to reproduce this locally. Edits of a feature service work without error for us. I'd recommend logging a support case for a full investigation of your case. ... View more

@BranislavBlagojevic Thank you for the explanation. That case is more complex. When using data driven symbolization where the variation can differ per feature we have the problems of 1) all combinations aren't known until the data is queried fully - for large data this can be intensive and 2) The number of legend items could be massive. We're exploring approaches for handling this case while keeping performance in mind. ... View more

@wayfaringrob It's not an issue of changing the behavior - what you're asking for is fundamentally incompatible with how text is drawn and positioned in the map. I closed the issue to provide accurate feedback that we have no plans to change that behavior. As I stated my earlier response, alignment is relative to the geometry of the text baseline. The text type we do have that respects a envelope bounds is rectangle text (sometimes know as paragraph text) that can be created in graphics layers and layout. Alignment in that type respects the defined bounds. The issue @AlfredBaldenweck raises is separate and related to anchor points. I'm not able to reproduce that behavior on ArcGIS Pro 3.1 and that may be worth a support services call so we can look at the case in more detail. ... View more

Alignment changes the text relative to it's geometry which is typically a line or a point for annotation. The box is derived from those settings, not the opposite way around. ... View more
