Thomas - I'll second Heather's response. I've been teaching an intro GIS course at our university for the past 21 years and made the move to ArcGIS Pro a few years ago at version 1.4. That first semester was tough. If version 2.0 hadn't come out I was considering going back to ArcMap. With every release since things have gotten better and better and I can't think of any* reason why I wouldn't use ArcGIS Pro in an intro course at this point.  I personally don't love the huge icons and "smart" ribbon, but there is no denying that students new to GIS like it better than ArcMap. If you use the esri provided training, there isn't much left for 10.x, and the Pro web courses are getting better all the time.  * I should mention that this assumes that you are capable of running ArcGIS Pro. The hardware requirements are significantly higher than ArcMap. In my experience the requirements are generally beyond what a student laptop supports, and if your lab computers are closer to the "minimum" requirements than the recommended, you might want to hold off.   ...

This would be a huge problem for me as there is always one department that lags on pushing out the updates so I just did some testing. I hate posts that say "It works for me" implying you're doing something wrong. I really don't want to face this so I'd like to figure it out. Here's my setup: ArcGIS Pro Advanced 2.4.1. --> ArcGIS Pro Advanced 2.4 Named User License (ArcGIS Online) -> Works Concurrent Use License -> Works 1. Opened 2.4.1 made a new map, added a map and a couple of data layers (from geodatabase on local machine) and saved. Opened in 2.4 on a different machine without issue 2. Saved a complex project with multiple maps, data sources (tables, Revit, SDE, WMTS, WFS, mapped drive, UNC path) in 2.4.1. Still opened in 2.4 without issue. Are you getting an error message that says it isn't opening because it was created in a newer version? Even going back to 2.3 it just tells me that any features that are from 2.4 won't work, but still opens the project.  ... View more

Thank you sooooo much. Been fighting with this for a while. As with Greg, ArcGIS Pro (2.4.1) definitely did not help out in any fashion. Double clicking in Arcade just adds $feature.Fieldname The only "help" I could find on Esri's site says you have to do Domain to Table, then do a one to many join of that table back to the table ... Thanks again.  ... View more

Thanks for your reply David.  Unfortunately the issue persists. Addressing your first two responses This could be due that the file is not located in the right location (Basepoint is not set with the correct value – Revit side)  The Revit files are located correctly, with both the basepoint and survey point using US Feet.  If the Revit file was created using imperial units, the projection should use FEET or U.S. FEET. If the Revit is using metric units (meters, centimeters, mm…) the projection should use METER as the unit. This is exactly my point. My Revit models are using Imperial units, the projection is using US Feet, and all my data shows up exactly where it should when Revit is set to use Feet and Fractional Inches. If the units are set to Decimal Feet with NO other change to the Revit file or the ArcGIS project, suddenly the models are 1/3 their size and 1/3 of the way from the origin to where they should be. Changing it back to Feet and Fractional Inches results in the model showing up where and how it should.   This only occurs when the file is being georeference. After the RVT is georeference (file has a .PRJ and./or .WLD3) this is not an issue anymore. This is sort of true. I have a .PRJ file in the folders with the REVIT models, and as I mentioned, they are showing up where they should, and XY size is appropriate, but 3x as tall as they should be. It isn't enough to have the horizontal projection parameters in the .PRJ, it must also have vertical coordinate system defined that uses US feet.  ArcGIS Pro 2.4, Revit 2019 ... View more

Just to follow up on this - 2.4 supports rooms (and works great).  ... View more

Thanks Kory - I figured I'd wait a day and see, but My Esri still has nothing (2pm MDT on the 28th). Strangely, I was able to update from within ArcGIS Pro 2.3.3 late last night*, but that doesn't help me in terms of creating the package to push this release across campus.  * I've been waiting on specific added features, which are so much better than I hoped that I stayed at work until 2am. Now I just need everybody to be on 2.4. ... View more

Now if I filter for "Latest Released" there is NO ArcGIS Pro or Desktop (yesterday 2.3 and 10.7 were listed as the latest released).  The ArcGIS License Manager v. 2019.0 does show up and I've successfully updated our license servers. ArcGIS Pro 2.3.3 recognizes there is an update, but the button to actually do it is grayed out. ... View more

The only anti-virus is the Windows Defender built into Windows 10. The lab is closed access and gets reset to our base image every night. The Citrix Workspace is configured the same, except your "machine" will be recycled 30 minutes after you disconnect or immediately if you log off.  ... View more

Curious why this thread was marked "Answered" when there is no actual answer.  Still happening with ArcGIS Pro 2.3.3.  On 40 identical Windows 10 PCs (same hardware, same software image) it happens on different machines and different project almost every day. I've had inquiries from faculty and students in other locations across campus about this behavior. It also happens intermittently on our application virtualization server (Citrix), which is reset every night, and every time you run an application it is effectively a new install of Windows 10 anyway. Most commonly it doesn't get "stuck" on the rotate view tool, it just turns into the rotate view tool, and the only way to reliably get back to work is to restart the machine. Sometimes just restarting ArcGIS Pro helps, but not usually. As others have said, restarting it generally starts up with the rotation tool (or whichever they have trouble with, Pan, etc.) whether it is a new blank project or opening an existing project. An issue that effectively stops all work should be a top priority for fixing.  ... View more

I have had the same problem multiple times. The minimaps or the main window, or all of them (what made me come searching Geonet) go blank. No matter how you zoom or refresh the page. I closed the browser and came back - still blank. Ultimately I purged my browser's cache of everything from ArcGIS.com and it worked again. Kind of a pain, but the only way I've found to reliably get back to where you can see the maps (make sure to hit the save button before you leave - even though you can't see anything, it will save your changes).  ...

Thanks. This is a great idea, and well executed. These will come in handy in all the different settings I talk about GIS and what is available to us on campus.  ... View more

Thanks for you response Amnoy Am‌ - it is good to know that esri has these issues on their radar. In the mean time, this is how I've been managing things.  I have disabled taking licenses offline, I create a single use provisioning file for those who legitimately need to have access to ArcGIS Pro while offline. We have set up web-accessible app virtualization using Citrix and NVIDIA GRID. We tested it last semester and have expanded it this semester.  This has drastically reduced the requests for ArcGIS Pro on personal machines. They can run ArcGIS Pro a vGPU with huge amounts of memory (variable depending on the current load - never less than 4GB per user).  It's working well right now, but I would be very happy to be able to offer 7 - 14 day offline options rather than issuing a single use license.  Thanks again for keeping us informed. ...

Robert - thanks for the fix. My table appeared fine as a CSV, but was giving me this error, so I read the help for Error 000055 which tells me: Creating a query table is not supported for the specified workspace. Query tables can only be created using data from a geodatabase or an OLE DB connection. And the "solution" is to convert the data into one of those things. So - import it into a Geodatabase Table. No complaints. XY Event Layer creation fails again, still with Error 000055.  Anyway - like you, I don't know why the Longitude column was a double, but the Latitude was a Text field. Schema to force that column as Double and it all works just fine. ... View more
