I've found that when using Layer Masking in ArcGIS Pro, that if I then move/reorder layers with a Mask setting applied (i.e. Land Systems (FPC) in the image below) in the table of contents, it wipes the mask setting. Likewise, if I move a layer that is being used as the Mask (i.e. Operation Mask in the images below), layers masked by that layer lose the setting and need it reapplied. It would be great to have the option to retain layer masking settings despite layer reordering so that we don't need to reapply the settings each time we adjust the map layers order.

I can't see the images you've attached to your post, so I'm guessing as to what the error is, but if you're using the python window in ArcGIS Pro, you shouldn't need to include the "import arcpy" line. The only other difference I can see between your script and mine (besides the layout name "TEST" and output pathway) is there is an extra "space" before the lyt.exportToPDF command - dunno if this should impact on it though. Maybe also test a shorter output folder (i.e. f"C:\Temp\{lyt.name}.pdf") and see if that works first. Also, the latest ArcGIS Pro update (2.7.1) has fixed this issue so you can avoid all this if you update your software (as per the solution post below).

Legends are really quite different in ArcGIS Pro. I've spent a lot of time digging around in the settings to figure it out. You can still enable/disable each label/heading/etc option for each layer by clicking on the layer in the Legend list, and then viewing the Legend properties. Format each bit of text by selecting it from the drop down list at the top. Clicking on the Legend header in the table of contents will show you the overall Legend Properties in the Elements Pane and the drop down list will have more options for you to customise. I hope that helps.

To check/uncheck all at once, hold down the Ctrl button when checking/unchecking a layer. If you have a selection, it will do it for all selected. If you don't, it will do it for all layers. As for organising them in a proper manner, you may need to change the legend setting "Layer order" (select Legend in Table of Contents and open Properties, and turn on/off Layer order). If Layer order is off, you should then be able to drag layers up and down in the Legend list to order them as you like. I hope that helps.

The Validate tool is not all it's cracked up to be. Try right-clicking on the step (the yellow box) prior to the one that is greyed out and running it. When it gets to that point, then click Validate again. It will reset the model but to it's un-run (is that even a word?) state, but the interim data that the 2nd part is based off will exist so it will think it's OK. You can save the model in this state and then it should work when you click Run or try run it from outside the Edit window.

The behaviour still existed after updating to 2.7.1. so I've lodged a support request (02737238). Will let you know what the outcome is.

I've just done the upgrade to 2.7.1 and have found that the behavior I described is still occurring. I also tested what you've suggested (the definition query on the Mask layer) but found this didn't affect my Masking settings. Might we worth doing the upgrade yourself and testing again and letting us know how you go. I'm going to lodge a support ticket for this and will post the case number back here.

Hi Tom. I'm yet to do the latest update which I plan to do today. Whatever the outcome, I'll update here and lodge a support request so that it's on the books for future reference. I was hoping to just to see if it was me or if others had experienced this too before going down that path.

Room for it to grow longer when the map pans to an area with more feature types than the current extent (All layers have "only slow when visible" enabled in the legend settings.

Surely that is not ideal behaviour also! I can almost understand the behavior I described as being acceptable because you could argue that by changing the layer order, you change what you want to see/mask as well, but it usually isn't the case in any of the cases I've been working on. Generally I'm reordering layers to optimise drawing, but the overall masking effect is still desired.

I've been creating a layout in ArcGIS Pro and have found what looks to be interesting behaviour. Does this seem logical or to be a bit of a bug? When selecting elements and Distributing them vertically, I would expect this to be done using the element frame (extent). I've found though that in the case of a dynamic legend, it's using the top/bottom item within the legend as the reference point, and not the actual frame. Looking at my example below, where the limited features in the map frame results in the legend extent not being filled up by legend items, this results in items being distributed over the blank section of the legend. If I were to move my map and the legend were to grow (with more features being displayed in the map frame), this would then ruin the layout by overlapping the scale bar and text. From this; I select this; And get this;

@KoryKramer I suspect he's referring to the ability to see all Layers with Masking applied/not applied in a combined window (similar to the Label Weights/Label Priority/Label Summary windows). At present, you can only see what has Masking turned on, or what is masked by a layer by clicking on each layer individually and opening the Masking list. Persoanally, I think having a simple table view that lists each layer in the ToC and then Column 2 lists all the layers that are used to Mask layers in Column 1 would cut it (with a little +/- button to alter individual layer settings).

I hope this is just a support question and not an idea (though will happily move it if so). I've found that when using Layer Masking in ArcGIS Pro, that if I then move/reorder layers with a Mask setting applied (i.e. Land Systems (FPC) in the image below) in the table of contents, it wipes the mask setting. Likewise, if I move a layer that is being used as the Mask (i.e. Operation Mask in the images below), layers masked by that layer lose the setting and need it reapplied.
