the Config.daml is part of the _addin_. It's not part of the Pro installation. To use DAML in the manner u desire, you would author/create and addin using the Pro SDK. In the Config.daml of the addin u would then use the DAML examples I specified in the links. The addin would need to be installed on the client machine(s) whose Pro UI u wanted it (the addin) to customize. ... View more

we are looking at allowing an addin to define custom parameters when the connection to the layer is created (i.e. via the call to LayerFactory.Instance.CreateLayer(......) in code). Custom parameters defined as part of "creating" the layer connection via LayerFactory would automatically be appended to the URL of the service layer each time Pro "called" it (eg on a select, refresh, etc) This would be in 3.0 - our next release. ...

Hi Johnny, UI customization can only be done programmatically via an add-in, usually in its Config.daml. A deeper level of customization is also possible via a Configuration. U can also modify Pro ribbon appearance "by hand" via the UI:  Project->Options->Customize the Ribbon Here are some DAML examples: https://github.com/esri/arcgis-pro-sdk/wiki/ProSnippets-DAML  Here is some more information on Configurations: https://github.com/esri/arcgis-pro-sdk/wiki/ProConcepts-Configurations    ...

Hi Dylan, See here for how to create a style: https://github.com/esri/arcgis-pro-sdk/wiki/ProConcepts-Map-Authoring#styles  "Style Items" are what is stored in style files. The base class is StyleItem: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/sdk/api-reference/#topic12305.html . There is also more information here: https://github.com/esri/arcgis-pro-sdk/wiki/ProConcepts-Map-Authoring#style-item  The concrete style items are listed in the Inheritance Hierarchy on the API reference page (the link to the topic page above) and any, or all, of them can be stored in, or retrieved from, a .stylx. Specifically, in your case, where u want to store symbols in a style file, you want a SymbolStyleItem. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/sdk/api-reference/index.html#topic12405.html . SymbolStyleItem is used to wrap a CIMSymbol - whether custom or otherwise. In this snippet I am using SymbolFactory to create 4 custom symbols - a point, line, poly, and text CIMSymbol - just using the defaults. Note how I wrap them in a SymbolStyleItem to add each of them to my style file. The only caveat is that the style file to which I am adding them must be in the project.       QueuedTask.Run(() => { //make some (custom) symbols var symbols = new List<CIMSymbol>(); symbols.Add(SymbolFactory.Instance.DefaultPointSymbol); symbols.Add(SymbolFactory.Instance.DefaultLineSymbol); symbols.Add(SymbolFactory.Instance.DefaultPolygonSymbol); symbols.Add(SymbolFactory.Instance.DefaultTextSymbol); //access the style file to be updated var stylx_file = Project.Current.GetItems<StyleProjectItem>().FirstOrDefault( item => item.Name == "My_Defaults");//must already be in the project //make the style items that wrap the symbols int p = 1; int l = 1; int pl = 1; int t = 1; foreach (var symbol in symbols) { var key = ""; var category = ""; var itemType = StyleItemType.Unknown; if (symbol is CIMPointSymbol ptSym) { key = $"Point Symbol {p++}"; category = "Point"; itemType = StyleItemType.PointSymbol; } else if (symbol is CIMLineSymbol lnSym){ key = $"Line Symbol {l++}"; category = "Line"; itemType = StyleItemType.LineSymbol; } else if (symbol is CIMPolygonSymbol polySym) { key = $"Polygon Symbol {pl++}"; category = "Polygon"; itemType = StyleItemType.PolygonSymbol; } else if (symbol is CIMTextSymbol textSym) { key = $"Text Symbol {t++}"; category = "Text"; itemType = StyleItemType.TextSymbol; } else { continue;//mesh } //make the symbol style item var ssi = new SymbolStyleItem() { Name = key,//Can be any string - localized is fine Key = key,//must be unique Tags = itemType.ToString(),//tag1;tag2;tag3;etc Category = category,//arbitrary string for organizing your items ItemType = itemType,//style item type Symbol = symbol //your symbol }; //add the style item stylx_file.AddItem(ssi); } //copy an existing symbol into the style file var arcgis_2d = Project.Current.GetItems<StyleProjectItem().FirstOrDefault( item => item.Name == "ArcGIS 2D"); //get an arbitrary symbol, or symbols var poly_ssi1 = arcgis_2d.SearchSymbols(StyleItemType.PolygonSymbol, "Glacier")[0]; var poly_ssi2 = arcgis_2d.SearchSymbols(StyleItemType.PolygonSymbol, "Buffered Gradient")[0]; //add them stylx_file.AddItem(poly_ssi1); stylx_file.AddItem(poly_ssi2); //... etc ... });         For more code snippets on how to access the various style items from a style file, please see the snippets here: https://github.com/esri/arcgis-pro-sdk/wiki/ProSnippets-MapAuthoring#symbol-search  Result: eg, the polygon symbols:       ...

I dont have an answer for your #1. On #2, no the Pro SDK is not supported on 2022 at 2.9. However, if u have an add-in previously created for 2019 there shouldnt be any problem editing/compiling/debugging it, etc in 2022. It's just that u wont be able to add additional items to it using the SDK item templates - new items would have to be added "by hand". ... View more

Can u post the code please? Sounds like you may be using System.Threading.Tasks.Task rather than a QueuedTask? Although QueuedTask has the same semantics as a "System" Task, it's behavior is quite different.   ... View more

For an animation sample, see https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-pro-sdk-community-samples/tree/master/Map-Exploration/CustomAnimation  The example below will remove any existing layer keyframes and add new keyframes for four layers - layersA, B, C, and D - so that each is visible for three seconds.  If the timing needs to line up with the CameraTrack, the TrackTime can be pulled from each keyframe for that track.   Also, for a layer track the keyframes added to the beginning (zero seconds) should duplicate the second keyframe.  Otherwise it would only show for an instant before transitioning to the second keyframe. layerTrack.CreateKeyFrame: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/sdk/api-reference/#topic11829.html      var map = .... //has four layers - eg raster layers - layersA, layersB, layersC, layersD // if (map != null) { LayerTrack layerTrack = null; foreach (var track in map.Animation.Tracks) { if (!(track is LayerTrack)) continue; layerTrack = track as LayerTrack; break; } if (layerTrack.Keyframes.Count > 0) layerTrack.DeleteKeyframe(0, layerTrack.Keyframes.Count - 1); //Layer, time on the track, Visibility, Transparency, Animation type layerTrack.CreateKeyframe(layersA, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0), true, 1.0, AnimationTransition.Linear); layerTrack.CreateKeyframe(layersB, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0), false, 1.0, AnimationTransition.Linear); layerTrack.CreateKeyframe(layersC, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0), false, 1.0, AnimationTransition.Linear); layerTrack.CreateKeyframe(layersD, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0), false, 1.0, AnimationTransition.Linear); layerTrack.CreateKeyframe(layersA, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 3), true, 1.0, AnimationTransition.Linear); layerTrack.CreateKeyframe(layersB, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 3), false, 1.0, AnimationTransition.Linear); layerTrack.CreateKeyframe(layersC, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 3), false, 1.0, AnimationTransition.Linear); layerTrack.CreateKeyframe(layersD, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 3), false, 1.0, AnimationTransition.Linear); layerTrack.CreateKeyframe(layersA, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 6), false, 1.0, AnimationTransition.Linear); layerTrack.CreateKeyframe(layersB, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 6), true, 1.0, AnimationTransition.Linear); layerTrack.CreateKeyframe(layersC, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 6), false, 1.0, AnimationTransition.Linear); layerTrack.CreateKeyframe(layersD, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 6), false, 1.0, AnimationTransition.Linear); layerTrack.CreateKeyframe(layersA, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 9), false, 1.0, AnimationTransition.Linear); layerTrack.CreateKeyframe(layersB, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 9), false, 1.0, AnimationTransition.Linear); layerTrack.CreateKeyframe(layersC, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 9), true, 1.0, AnimationTransition.Linear); layerTrack.CreateKeyframe(layersD, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 9), false, 1.0, AnimationTransition.Linear); layerTrack.CreateKeyframe(layersA, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 12), false, 1.0, AnimationTransition.Linear); layerTrack.CreateKeyframe(layersB, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 12), false, 1.0, AnimationTransition.Linear); layerTrack.CreateKeyframe(layersC, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 12), false, 1.0, AnimationTransition.Linear); layerTrack.CreateKeyframe(layersD, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 12), true, 1.0, AnimationTransition.Linear); }               ...

to coin a phrase: just do it. this is possible through the api and, apparently, not the ui. var textGraphic = new CIMTextGraphic() { Text = "Callout Text", Placement = Anchor.CenterPoint, Symbol = textSymbol.MakeSymbolReference(), Shape = MapView.Active.Extent.Center, //Leaders is an array of CIMLeader - add a Leader point to show //the leader, remove Leaders to hide the leader. Leaders = new CIMLeader[] { new CIMLeaderPoint(){ Point = MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint( MapView.Active.Extent.Center.X - 5000, MapView.Active.Extent.Center.Y - 1500) }, new CIMLeaderPoint(){ Point = MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint( MapView.Active.Extent.Center.X - 3500, MapView.Active.Extent.Center.Y - 2500) }, new CIMLeaderPoint(){ Point = MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint( MapView.Active.Extent.Center.X - 500, MapView.Active.Extent.Center.Y - 5000) } } };   ...

this is probably a timing issue - the name change being applied before the UI refresh (related to the new element being added) has completed. Separate the name change in to its own QueuedTask and u should get the result u r looking for. Like so: private async void LinearBandButton(Layout layout, Map map, MapFrame mfElm) { var mfElm = await QueuedTask.Run(() => { layout = LayoutFactory.Instance.CreateLayout(...); ... return LayoutElementFactory.Instance.CreateMapFrame(layout, env, map); }); //separate queuedtask QueuedTask.Run(()=> { //When I add the Map Frame to the Layout, I want it to be called "Linear Band." mfElm.SetName("Linear Band"); }); }   ...

I think Wolf gives an excellent suggestion - in many cases, the best way to figure out the CIM is to _deconstruct_ an object that already has the desired behavior - in this case a symbol. So, if I go to the symbology dockpane, I do see a few of the predefined symbols that have similar behavior to what you are after - in ArcGIS 2D, the Railroad symbol, Hatch Line symbol, and Line with Marker, Continuous symbol all look like good candidates.  So, using the Railroad symbol, for example:  if I apply a Perpendicular offset of 3 pt and change the placement template to 5 (like u have in your code), I get: Which is similar to what u are after.  If I view the symbol in the CIM Viewer (with the CIM Viewer dockpane open, just click on the layer in the TOC and scroll down to its renderer) I see this as the definition for the MarkerPlacement on the marker in the line symbol corresponding to those UI settings: This gives u a clue about how to code the symbol and u can apply the relevant settings, etc. I have a whole session on the CIM and use of the CIM Viewer here and another session on CIM symbology here.  For example, this XML in the CIM Viewer tells me that the marker, from railRoadSymbol.SymbolLayers[0]  has a MarkerPlacement defined as follows:   var marker = lineSymbol.SymbolLayers[0] as CIMVectorMarker; marker.MarkerPlacement = new CIMMarkerPlacementAlongLineSameSize(){ PlacePerPart = true, AngleToLine = true, Offset = 3,//<-- Perpendicular offset ControlPointPlacement = PlacementEndings.WithMarkers, PlacementTemplate = new double[] { 5 } };   and so on and so on........ The idea is to fiddle with the UI to tweak your symbol and get it the way u want it. Then deconstruct in the CIM Viewer and transfer what u observe in the XML structure to your code. This is an iterative process. ... View more
