Another up-vote from another sewer line web map author here. I'll add that in ArcGIS Pro 3.1 you can choose to "Use symbol types compatible with all clients" when you publish a web feature layer. Checking this box downgrades directional arrow symbols on lines. If you don't check the box, the symbol may work in the new Map Viewer, but it does NOT seem to work in ArcGIS Field Maps.

Came here to post this same idea AFTER searching around and not finding documentation for this shortcut. Please make more documentation for this feature AND include it in the ArcGIS Pro Tips And Tricks presentations, such as at the User Conference. That said, I am glad this exists. But it WOULD be useful if a 'Duplicate' option appeared in the menu when you right-click a layer. Most people know how to use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, but Copy and Paste are still listed as part of the right-click menu.

YES! If I add a type to the domain I want the create feature template in Field Maps to see the change and allow me to add that type as a new template. Currently I have to create a new map, which is a pain.

Just tested this, publishing from Pro 3.1.2. Short story, you still need to check the symbol compatibility downgrade box when publishing in order for the symbols I was using to show up in Field Maps. Field Maps does NOT appear to "support rendering ArcGIS Pro symbols". ArcGIS Pro symbols will, however, display in the new Map Viewer (but not in Map Viewer Classic). This can lead you to think they will work in Field Maps, but they do not.

Wow! Mad props, Johannes! I feel like you wrote that code in the same amount of time it took me to write the original post! Just tested and it works as expected. I'll be adding it to our company tool list. THANKS!

Creating bookmarks for many features is time consuming and very repetitive. A spatial map series will not work for the web map workflows I want the bookmarks for (many ArcGIS apps rely on bookmarks). This should work with features of points, lines or polygons. The tool would follow the workflow: 1) Select a single feature in a feature class 2) Zoom to and center on that feature 3) Create a bookmark on that extent This tool would iterate through the feature class (honoring any definition queries), creating a bookmark for each record. The bookmark could be named after an attribute in the current record from a defined field, or just an incrementing number. Optionally, this process could select multiple records with a matching value in a defined field and zoom to the extent of the matching features to create the bookmark.

The searches above just confirm that this function does NOT currently exist. I went ahead and added this to the ArcGIS Pro Ideas. PLEASE UPVOTE! Generate Bookmarks from Features

My inspectors would like to use a signature image file they have created beforehand to add to submitted forms instead of creating a fat-finger scribble in the field (these signatures will be included on reports that go to our clients and we'd like them to look "professional"). Is there a way for me to pre-load the signatures of our inspectors to the media folder and have the inspector choose their signature to attach to the form? One step more would be automatically populating the signature_image field with the correct file once the inspector has selected their name and clicked "attach signature".

@AndrewBowne I just spent some time troubleshooting bringing orthorectified satellite imagery into Civil 3D (not from SiteScan, but the principal is the same). The main thing we found is that we couldn't use 32-bit floating point rasters. I had to use the Copy Raster Tools to convert the raster to an unsigned (positive values only) 8-bit tiff. 16-bit may work, but we knew 8-bit worked and just went for that. FYI: CAD can choke on large tiffs, so we usually use GeoExpress to compress the file to MrSID. 32-bit floating is also not supported for creating generation 3 MrSID files; you are forced to use Gen 2 or 4 which don't work in Autodesk C3D. This is just what we found from some experimenting; if you find more thorough documentation from Autodesk (good luck!), I would default to that.

@NicoBonnafoux That's good to know, Nico. Thanks for the response!

We are a consulting firm that is trying to add drone services to our list of offerings. Software prices have been increasing across the board, and our CFO would like us to start capturing these costs instead of just adding to our overhead. This means that we would like to only pay for software when we need it for project work, which for drone work will not be very often at the beginning. If ESRI offered a short term subscription to SiteScan, like many of their competitors offer, we would be much more likely to use this software as we could capture the cost in our project fee. I would think a month would be about optimal, and then possibly a quarterly and annual subscription price break compared to the monthly cost.

Now that DJI is on the US Department of Defense blacklist, we cannot use their drones. While the Astro Freefly is an excellent drone, it is out of the price range for most teams getting starting who were previously considering a DJI product. Please add support for more "pro-sumer" level drones in ArcGIS Site Scan. One such drone that seems capable and affordable is the Parrot ANAFI AI, although I am open to other makes and models that get the job done. We don't require a fully USA manufactured drone or a model on the BLUE UAS list. We are a private AEC consulting firm that gives many of our utility clients cybersecurity support, and have decided that using drones that have been flagged as a cybersecurity risk is a non-option.

While the Astro Freefly is an excellent drone, it is out of the price range for most teams getting starting who were previously considering a DJI product. Please add support for more "pro-sumer" level drones in ArcGIS Site Scan. One such drone that seems capable and affordable is the Skydio 2+, although I am open to other makes and models that get the job done. PS: I believe we would require the "Enterprise" firmware/software update for this drone in order to angle the gimbal 90 degrees for nadir imagery capture, and to force each image to be geotagged with GPS coordinates.

I can confirm this use case. We don't always need precise inspection photos or map grade products; we often get requests for video "fly-throughs" that are repeatable over time. For instance, a recent project we are scoping would fly video over a system of weirs every time there was a rain event to compare the water flow over time. We don't need still photos or 3D, just video in this case. But we want the flight path to be repeatable.

This is an absolute must for my work. We are assisting many utilities that are migrating databases, integrating with new asset management systems, and considering migrating to the utility network. I use it even when just setting up a new database for field work. Besides the functionality of X-Ray, please include the visualization. A picture is worth a thousand words! Please give ArcGIS Pro users a way to display the hierarchy view of the databases they are designing so they can convey the information to non-GIS people.
