Hi, It would be a neat enhancement for the Create Points Along Lines and the Offset editing tools (both found on the Edit ribbon > Modify features pane) to be able to import distance values from a file  - currently not possible. However, have you tried the Linear Referencing toolbox (Analysis tab > Tools > look for Linear Referencing Tools). I think the only two geoprocessing tools you would need are Create Routes and Make Route Event Layer. An overview of the Linear Referencing toolbox—Help | ArcGIS Desktop  These two tutorials are written for ArcMap, but show how to use the above geoprocessing tools: Exercise 2: Creating and calibrating route data—Help | ArcGIS Desktop  Exercise 4: Displaying and querying route events—Help | ArcGIS Desktop  Hope this helps!

Hi Isobel, Can you please clarify the behavior? What do you mean by "explode feature just removes the whole mulitpart feature"? Thanks, Scott ... View more

Hi Tyler, I'm sorry to hear you're seeing an issue with Merge. Do List By Editing or Editing Status give any clues (messages or warnings)? Specify which layers can be edited—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop  Get started editing—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop  What is the source of the data? (examples: File Geodatabase on a local drive, FGDB on a network location, Enterprise Geodatabase, ArcGIS Online hosted feature service, etc.) Perhaps Esri Technical Support can assist with narrowing down the performance issue with you? Esri Support Contact Support  Thank you, Scott ...

Hi Yue, Thanks for reporting the issue. There are a few ways to perform split, ex. Interactive, By Feature, with a selection, without a selection, etc. There are also a number of ways the splitting feature can be created, for example, it can be snapped exactly to the edges of the target, or it can slightly overlap features that are adjacent to the target. What I'm getting at... In the case of very specific issues, it's best to report these issues to Esri Technical Support (Esri Support Contact Support) so they can look at the steps and data. If the issue can be reproduced with general steps with any data, feel free to post that info here and I will take a look and report it to the appropriate team. Let me know what you find out. Thank you! Scott ... View more

Hi Pete, Just a thought: perhaps you can turn off the toolbar in Editing options, and only use the construction context menu by right-clicking on the map to bring it up wherever you right-click while constructing features. This mini toolbar contains the same construction tools. See A quick tour of editing—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop  -Scott ... View more

Until the ability to create geodetic features (with out of the box editing tool) is added to Pro, you may want to try the suggestion below from Joshua to use Buffer (geodesic). FYI - You can buffer points. Also Dan below makes a really important point about choosing the proper projection ... View more

The proper development team is now aware of the issue and is currently investigating. For bug tracking purposes, please contact Esri Technical Support - Esri Support Contact Support For now, it seems specific to offline feature services. Should I learn anything new, I'll post an update here. -Scott ... View more

Hi Joe, Thanks for the status update. What's odd about what you said... The Select tool on the Map ribbon and the Select tool on the Edit ribbon should behave the same way. I tested deleting a feature that was selected using the Select tool on the Map ribbon, but couldn't reproduce the original issue you reported - so there must me more to it, right? -Scott ...

Hi Vish, Check out this post: Saving Editing Template to use in other Projects  This comment is the important part: https://community.esri.com/message/821672-re-saving-editing-template-to-use-in-other-projects?commentID=821672#comment-8…  In summary, a layer file or map file will bring along feature templates. For group templates, as long as all of the layers that were used to create the group template are saved in a layer file or map file, it should work. This means if you want use a layer file, you should first create a Group Layer that contains all of those layers that make up the group template, and save the layer file from it.

Hi Joe, Could it be similar to this defect reported by Esri Technical Support? [BUG-000124614 Attempting to delete a record from an unversioned feature class while versioned features are in the map returns the error message, "Delete Selected Features failed. This data is currently locked by another user and cannot be saved."] They have the following workarounds listed: Register the problematic feature class as versioned. Remove all versioned features from the map in order to edit unversioned features. Feel free to contact them for tracking the defect, or so they can investigate if there is something else going on here. Esri Support Contact Support  Thanks, Scott ... View more

Hi Donna, I can't reproduce this issue. I can split line features that are part of a feature dataset with no issue. Is this feature class specific, feature dataset specific, geodatabase specific? How to find out: If you create a new line feature class in the same feature dataset and create a new line and attempt to split it, do you get the same error? What happens if you create a new feature dataset and copy the original line feature class to it? What happens if you create a new line feature class in the new feature dataset? What happens if you create a new geodatabase and do the same? Once you narrow down the issue, perhaps a call to Esri Technical Support is in order? Esri Support Contact Support  Let me know. Thanks! -Scott ... View more

Hi Sean, What does the label expression for the COGO lines look like? There is a SETTINGS section of the expression and this is the line you may want to check: var QuadrantBearingFormat = true; //set 'true' for quadrant bearing, 'false' for north azimuth Select the COGO-enabled line layer in the Contents pane > A labeling tab appears on the Ribbon, click it > For the "Direction and Distance" label class, click on the Expression button. Once you click the Expression button, you will see the expression being used: Hope this helps! Scott ... View more

Thanks for that additional info, Jason. If you can reproduce again, let me know - ideally, please provide a screenshot that includes the Split tool and the geometry you are splitting (like your first screenshot). -Scott ... View more

Hi Jason, Is this a polygon or a line? - I'm assuming it's a polygon. Are there any relationship classes on the data? What is the source of the data (some examples: File Geodatabase, ArcGIS Online hosted feature service, etc.) What error are you getting (if any)? Can you please confirm if "Allow splitting without a selection" is checked or unchecked (bottom of Split tool)? How many features are selected? Can you provide a screenshot of the Split tool when it fails - this will probably answer the last 3 questions? Thanks for any clarification! -Scott ... View more
