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! ... View more

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. ... View more

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  ... View more

@Andrew-Bowne  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.  ... View more

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

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. ... View more

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. ... View more

YES! I am currently developing a Dashboard for use by a number of stakeholder agencies. The first thing they will do is filter the map, serial charts, pie charts and table by their agency name, using the filters I have added to the Dashboard Header (not using individual filters in each element). They will filter on Fiscal Year and some other variables using the filters in the header. I want the titles or descriptions of the charts and tables to reflect their filtered selection. This will give my users more confidence that the numbers they are looking at reflect their selection set. It would be even better if this "dynamic title" could be used to name the downloaded excel file the user can generate from the filtered charts and tables.  ... View more

I came back here to ask if this is correct; DroneDeploy just announced support for the Mavic 3E and DJI's site shows the Mavic 3E supports their PSDK, MSDK and Cloud API. @NicoBonnafoux should this Idea's status be updated from CLOSED to Under Consideration? ... View more

Please at least add legend functionality to vector tiles! My use case: my firm is transitioning to Pro. We create several static figures for reports based on the same map template, with additional features or filtered datasets displayed on top. In Pro, we have to create a new map for each layout, so that changes to the map don't affect our other layouts in the project. In order to allow efficient updates of the basemap template, I am publishing the base layers as a single service or group of services (minus any imagery; that stays static). That way, we can overwrite the service if there is an update needed across all of our figures, instead of updating the web map manually for each of our layouts. Vector tiles should be a better way to do this, but without the option to add them to our legends, we can't use them. I have to publish feature services (slow) or map images (large) instead. I also can't anticipate all of the zoom levels that might be needed for the map image service, so some figure's base layers will appear pixelated. FYI: we don't need feature level capabilities for these layers in this workflow (no queries, tables or pop-ups). ... View more

This sounds like a good work around. Can you confirm your workflow? -You publish the populated layer as a vector tile, -create a separate layer using the same symbology but pointing to an empty dataset (or maybe just set a definition query that removes all the data) -and publish that image service at a single zoom level (the reference scale set for the symbols/labels)? -Then you can use that image layer to generate the legend without slowing down performance? ...
