I haven't messed with this stuff but have you seen this blog post which lays out the draw order within Vector Basemaps? The graphic in that post should help understand the draw order. ... View more

I would imagine that Rene Rubalcava​ would have some pertinent thoughts about since, especially since joining the JS API team at ESRI.. ... View more

I think another option is modifying the default string used by the API. This link discusses that topic. If you follow the suggestion at the bottom of that page, you'll notice that there's a "basemaps" object and I think you'd be able to modify the label/string in there. Steve ... View more

I don't have any links handy but I thought you could export a scene from ArcGlobe/ArcScene into a cityEngine format file and then publish that as a 3D scene. That's my fuzzy recollection from last year's UC presentations. ... View more

All of the things you've listed are a great help for ESRI when they look at the issue brought forward. I believe the "official" method for raising bug issues is to submit it via ESRI's request for support. IMO, the downside to this current system is that you must be the "official" contact designated with ESRI in order to submit that issue. I work for a county and I'm not the designated contact so I had to have someone else initiate the bug submittal and then list me as the contact. In my example, ESRI followed up fairly quickly with someone on the dev team to look into the issue I thought might be a bug. ... View more

Great stuff, Paul, thank you! ... View more

Welcome to ESRI design school. ArcGIS has been full of garbage UI layouts like you pointed out since 8.x and they are unwilling/incapable of improving it. And, yes, ArcGIS Pro will (eventually) replace Arcmap. It's their world, we just live in it. ... View more

The flip side is that you could store the "original" featureCollection in a variable. Now loop through that collection, looking for features that match your desired condition. If they match, add them to another feature collection (this, essentially, is your definition expression "collection"). Once the loop is finished, update the featuireLayer's featureCollection with the second set. If you ever need to reset, you have the original stored in a variable so it's easy to just update that property once again. Performance may be a factor depending on the number of records we're talking about. Steve ... View more

If you already have a solution based on 3.16, I would stay with this version. I see no good reason to jump up to 4.0 considering the sheer number of missing items and functionality. I can assure you that ESRI will not be pushing out this feature within the next month. The User Conference is in one month so the company's internal focus will be on that. ... View more

Yes, I think your understanding is correct. I am trying to add x,y coordinates into the content within an infoWindow for point, line, and polygon layers. The coordinates would be for the location that the user initially clicked. Some example code:         var bridgeTemplate = new InfoTemplate();         bridgeTemplate.setContent(formatBridgeContent);         bridgeTemplate.setTitle("County Bridges");         bridgeLayer.setInfoTemplate(bridgeTemplate);         function formatBridgeContent(graphic) {             attrib = graphic.attributes;             latLongGeom = webMercatorUtils.webMercatorToGeographic(graphic.geometry);                         u = new USNG2();             var theLatLong = [];             theLatLong["lon"] = latLongGeom.x;             theLatLong["lat"] = latLongGeom.y;             var theUSNG = u.fromLonLat(theLatLong,5).toString();                         content = "<table><tr><td style=\"font-weight:bold;text-align:left\">Name:</td><td>" + attrib["GIS_FEATURES.GDBA.transportation_bridges.BRIDGE_NM"] + "</td></tr>";             content = content + '<tr><td valign=\'top\' style=\"font-weight:bold;padding-left:3px;padding-right:3px;vertical-align:top\">Facility Carried:</td><td valign=\'top\' style=\"padding-left:3px;padding-right:3px;vertical-align:top\">' + attrib["GIS_FEATURES.GDBA.transportation_bridges.FAC_CARRI"] + '</td></tr>';             content = content + '<tr><td valign=\'top\' style=\"font-weight:bold;padding-left:3px;padding-right:3px;vertical-align:top\">Location:</td><td valign=\'top\' style=\"padding-left:3px;padding-right:3px;vertical-align:top\">' + attrib["GIS_FEATURES.GDBA.transportation_bridges.LOCATION"] + '</td></tr>';                        content = content + "<tr><td style=\"font-weight:bold;text-align:left\">Seismic Risk:</td><td>" + attrib["snoco_bridge_seismic_risk.seismcRisk"] + "</td></tr>";             content = content + "<tr><td style=\"font-weight:bold;text-align:left\">Bridge Number:</td><td>" + attrib["GIS_FEATURES.GDBA.transportation_bridges.BRIDGE_ID"] + "</td></tr>";             content = content + "<tr><td> </td><td> </td></tr>";                        content = content + "<tr><td style=\"font-weight:bold;text-align:left\">Latitude/Longitude:</td><td>" + latLongGeom.y.toFixed(5) + ", " + latLongGeom.x.toFixed(5) + "</td></tr>";             content = content + "<tr><td style=\"font-weight:bold;text-align:left\">US National Grid:</td><td>" + theUSNG + "</td></tr></table>";             return content;         }  USNG2 is a javascript library I found which converts lat/long coordinates to U.S. National Grid Coordinates.
