In the section on drawing layers with repsentations it has the following: Representation symbology The symbol model of ArcGIS Pro supports representation rules and can be combined with attribute-driven symbology to achieve cartographic outcomes with field-based representation overrides. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/mapping/layer-properties/draw-layers-with-representations.htm#GUID-64834C21-E0C6-4368-97D9-5F415941A568https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/mapping/layer-properties/attribute-driven-symbology.htm By saying the symbology model of ArcGIS Pro supports representation rules I assume they mean it supports the just display of them rather than modification. It looked at the attribute driven symbology options [Attribute-driven symbology—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop ] and they don't include offsetting lines. ... View more

This idea is showing as new but was created in 2012. It is a good idea though. ... View more

I now need this for lines. It's also in a corporate database so I don't really want to create a parallel version. One option is to make one of the lines thicker than the other so it displays underneath. I'd rather they were side by side though. I will also search arcgis ideas and if their is no idea, I will add it. ... View more

Thanks Thomas Useful help, I don't have time to continue this further at the moment but I do hope to come back to it. Not all of my tables are spatial. Only one is. ... View more

When making sure the table only has unique LIP_KEY values and making that the primary key for ArcMap I get the below error: Error reading OID from table. Reading rows has been stopped. Check that the datasource is valid. The database in question is running as a 2008 compatible SQL Server database but it held on a later version of SQL Server. I forget which though. The full results are returned in SQL Server with no errors. ... View more

I wasn't sure about using Schema Binding as the underlying tables are used by another application which generated them and I didn't wish to do anything that impacted on that. I'm read only viewing the data. However my view has 5 left joins so I guess it rules it out. Those are needed in order for rows that don't match to still be returned. If I didn't a lot of my data wouldn't show up as required. I don't have any problems in SQL Server with this, just ArcMap. ... View more

I would like the same thing. I am creating two maps. One at A3 and one at A1. The A3 map needs to have a different basemap to the A1 one, as obviously an A1  basemap would be too detailed at A3 and an A3 one isn't detailed enough at A1. Apart from the basemap and scale being different, every other layer is the same and the projections and maps units are identical. ArcGIS Pro already supports different scales, it just needs to support being able to switch layers on and off differently for different map layouts. Was multiple map layouts always intended to just be used for multiple map frames? Are there any practical examples where one map frame would be used by multiple layout views? If I wish to change a symbology and I have multiple map frames, it means I have to update both and keep them in sync. Far more to go wrong than having a single layer that I update. Is their a way of keep the symbology for multiple map frames in sync? ... View more

I take your point but I've come to the conclusion that anything is possible with ESRI. Today I was copying and pasting a text box; text; scale bar; north arrow and line elements from one ArcGIS Pro document to another and it never kept the formatting or size. With the scale bar and north arrow it decided they would not use the Map Frame but none, so they didn't appear correctly. It wasn't obvious what the issue was. That was in addition to everything not keeping the correct size. I then created a legend and it took over 5 minutes to appear. The legend had a mix of raster and vector layers. I have 16GB of RAM and an i7 laptop. 16GB is the optimum RAM ESRI recommend for ArcGIS Pro, so it shouldn't be taking 5 minutes. Once the legend did appear, I then removed all the rasters and other layers I didn't actually need. This software isn't cheap, so I expect a lot from it. Anyway I'm still interested in anyone found a work around for the offsetting issue. I don't believe it is possible to take ArcGIS Pro documents and put them back into ArcMap. I enjoyed using ArcGIS Pro for part of my current project because I could undertake joins across multiple storage locations. However if I can't produce a map at the end of it, then it's perhaps pointless. ... View more

Did you find a workaround? Does anyone know how you offset in ArcGIS Pro or is it simply something ESRI need customers to add as an idea to the Ideas site to gauge if they think it worth implementing? ... View more
