Just been notified that this has been given case number #BUG-000137400 - "Distribute of layout elements not accounting for "empty space" within the selection bounding box of the element"

When creating charts to be used in a layout, you can turn the chart legend on or off from within the chart window and this is reflected in any linked chart frames. It would be handy to be able to separately control a charts legend visibility in chart frames and chart windows. Work flows where this could be useful is where you have a chart that is used in multiple layouts. In one layout, the chart symbols match the dominant layer symbology in a map frame and thus are cover by the map legend (so chart legend is turned off) but when the same chart is used in a different layout with less focus on a map (or no map), the chart legend would be turned on instead.

Thanks @TomBole and @KoryKramer I feel we have overseen that button. I thought I'd clicked on every option. But if it exists, then great. I might still suggest what you've both inferred though so that you can control the legend for charts separately between chart frames in a layout and chart windows. I can see that being useful in its own right. If you mark this post as already implemented, I'll create a new suggestion with more clarity.

@TomBole thanks for that. I'll get onto it and link it back here.

I'm trying to use the Map to KML tool (new in 2.7) and not having much luck. I've successfully managed to export a map to KML when the export settings are to maintain layers, but when I try and run the same tool but to output a "Single Composite Image", it ignores the "Extent to Export" settings and gives me something quite **bleep**. See screenshots below of the map view, tool parameters used, and the result. As you can see, not the image I was expecting (which is focused on the green blob). The tool looks quite straight forward. Input, output, layered or image, extent, image properties. What am I doing wrong?

I actually posted an idea after looking at this issue here: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/arcade-function-to-show-unique-values-remove-duplicate-values/idi-p/1028336/jump-to/first-unread-message and got a reply from an ESRI contributor saying that you could use the DISTINCT function to do this - though I fail to see how. My attempt to make it work failed (as shown in the replies).

@CraigWilliams I'm not sure this works correctly in the Dynamic Text function. As per screenshot below, I don't get any values returned - just the delimiter.

When creating a chart in ArcGIS Pro, it would be handy if we could disable the legend component of the chart. It's not always necessary to have it displayed as the symbology can be setup to match the layers in the map which are then displayed in a dynamic legend as well. In the interim, we've made a workaround as per below; 1. Create Chart 2. Under Series, customise value symbols to match layer symbology 3. Edit the Label to be a single space (i.e. " ") - deleting the Label outright results in the Value being used instead, thus the space. This will result in the chart looking like this; 4. Create a Rectangle Object in your layout, formatting it to have solid white fill and no border and drawing it over the top of the legend symbols circled above This will result in the symbols being masked. I suggest grouping the rectangle and the chart in the Table of Contents to keep them paired and ordered correctly in the event you change things in your layout. Obviously, it would be much easier if there was a setting in the Chart element properties pane that let us enable/disable the legend in the first place (example below).

Hi @AubriOtis. How would yo create a filter query that shows unique values only? I've tried and looked and failed to find anything that would do this. I looked at the DISTINCT function but it didn't seem to be available.

When using the Table Attribute dynamic text function in ArcGIS Pro you can return a string of values visible in the map frame (i.e.1, 2, 3, 4,...). Sometimes you may have a dataset with multiple features with the same value (i.e.1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4,...).. By using this function in it's current format, you would see the results as per the example given, but sometimes you may want to only see Unique values (i.e. 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4 would be returned as 1, 2, 3, 4). It would be good if there was an Arcade function that shows unique values, removing any duplicates (suggestion below). This post is another example of where this function would be useful: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-to-remove-duplicate-values-from-dynamic-text-attribute-value/m-p/1028309#M37611

If you were only wanting to show 1 value (i.e. 80 but not 79 in your image above), then I'd say yes. I too struggled with this for a while. The solution I found was to add a section of spaces (i.e. " ") to the delimiter field. This essentially added a big gap between the first and second value, resulting in the second value not fitting in the frame. The trick was putting in enough spaces to bump out the next value based on the shortest value you wanted to display (i.e. "Word" instead of "Reallylongword"). If you had enough spaces to fill the gap between two lots of "Reallylongword", but not enough to fill the gap between two "Word" values, you could still end up seeing "Word Word". The other neat little part of this was that the text justification was based on the values displayed (i.e. it would still centre the "Word" and not factor in the delimeter). See below for clarity. Unfortunately, I don't think this will work for you, as it looks like you have multiple features with the same value (i.e. 80) and therefore, you wouldn't be able to get it to discriminate between values. Arcade doesn't seem to have a solution either (no "remove duplicates" text function which would be really nice to see). I tried using the DISTINCT function but that didn't work either. It returns an array, which doesn't translate into a string, and when I tried to convert the array to a string, it just gave me what we started with.

I agree - the ability to take maps offline and it just warns and excludes the layers that are not offline enabled would be a great facility.

Hi All. ESRI Support have looked at this. Whilst it is annoying for myself, it was how the layer masking function was intended to work. I've inserted a section of the support request below; Thank you for your patience while we have investigated this further. We have completed some testing and produced the same outcome as you have described. However, this is considered to be expected behaviour. The way the masking is drawn, if it was permanently retained it could lead to issues with drawing layers. There are more permanent solutions through symbol level masking that could be implemented as a work around if that suits your projects. Described here: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/mapping/layer-properties/use-a-masking-layer.htm As masking can bring some performance complexity, we would advise doing it at the end once the map has been finalised. We do understand that this is a functionality your organisation would find beneficial, so we have lodged an enhancement request that can be tracked through My Esri (https://my.esri.com/#/support/bugs/ENH-000137450). I have created an Idea in the ArcGIS Pro section (https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/retain-layer-masking-when-reordering-layers/idi-p/1027414/jump-to/first-unread-message) so if you want to see this functionality changed, head over there and show your support!
