I have a script, where I prepare the maps and then save a copy to do some finetuning which would be to complicated for scripting. During the export the paths get destroyed. I use shapefiles because it is the easiest format to access from R or excel.   Project file: Drive\somepath \project_folder\map_path\mapx.aprx Some data in the map: Drive\somepath \project_folder\report_path\some_data.shp or Drive\somepath \project_folder\map_path\more_data.shp   Home location: Drive\somepath \project_folder   New location: Drive\somepath\project_folder\report_path\mapy.aprx   Saving a copy manually works, when saving in python with aprx.saveACopy() the paths get totally messed up: e.g. the data becomes: Drive\somepath \report_path\some_data.shp or Drive\somepath \map_path\more_data.shp, i.e. the project_folder got removed from the path.   Data outside the project can also get some weird path, adding  \somepath in front of the original path: Data from Drive\otherpath \other_data.shp becomes Drive\somepath\otherpath \other_data.shp   Anybody else who has experienced this? Is there a way to avoid this? ... View more

I have recently problems with the legend. In one situation, I changed the symbology labels manually. The changes showed there, but only partly in the TOC and the legend. So as a solution, I changed the text directly in the TOC.  Sometimes I also have problems, that the legend changes in the exported version (differently in different attempts). What are the possible reasons? could it be connected to special characters from languages or the "<", ">"? Or could a re-installation of ArcGIS Pro help?   In the screenshot the bottom is the ArcGIS Pro project, the top 2 are 2 jpgs with exactly the same export settings. The map is OK. ... View more

The question has 2 parts: In ArcGIS Pro, If you import symbology from a layer that has labeling activated, the labeling gets imported as well. I have not found an option to define a new labeling field. I use the value field for defining the field for the symbology (side question: why do I need to define the original field manually? this should be part of the layer definition and can be difficult to remember.) Is there a similar way to define the label field name or not to import the labeling? In my current project, after importing the symbology, the labeling expression contains a field that does not exist. When I try to set it to an existing field (by double clicking on the fieldname in the field list) I get the error "Invalid Expression. No features found.". I am stuck there, no matter if I apply, cancel, deactivate-reactivate  labeling. Any ideas? my own workaround will be, to open the lyr-file in an editor and try to change the labeling field manually. ... View more
