help(functionname) in Python should have a flag that permits a pop-out that links to thorough documentation of that function to provide better functional parity with the Python window in ArcMap. ArcMap has a useful panel that shows valid values for each parameter of the function. The help(function) in Pro obscures the recent python function history and results in the console, which hinders efficient use of Pro's python window. I would prefer the panel be available in Pro, but BUG-000116756 was declared not in production plan. pro vs arcmap‌ arcpro 2.2‌

Do you need to create a 3D model? Will you be importing data from AutoCAD 2018? Do you have the need for speed[y processing of large vector/raster datasets]? Are you editing hosted data layers? Are you new to GIS?

Kory Kramer‌ I'm also getting this pandas error trying to run the TableToExcel_conversion tool from the Python window, but I think this would be classified more appropriately under ArcGIS Pro or Analysis

"Is your data in .mdbs? [if so, can it be migrated?" "Are you developing annotation that will be used by ArcMap 10.x users?"

I could use an "Am I ready for Pro?" quiz (decision tree) that logically walks users through the things they need to do for a given project and lets them know if Pro can handle the task. Instead of trying to navigate GeoNet and bug lists, it could start with questions like "Is this an analysis, map, or both", move into questions such as "Is the map data local or hosted?" or "Do you use the attribute assistant?" and end with things like "Will this map need touched up in AI"? The quiz could be updated with each release.

Clicking "copy path" still provides windows-style (backslash) paths, and for SDE the path is a bit heavy. I agree that something akin to "Database Connections", or maybe having some functions such as arcpy.Home() and arcpy.Favorites() - or at least providing some instructions on how to easily create a variable for the default Favorites folder on help pages such as those I'm listing below - is essential. ***And please fix the misleading (and not reproducible) example that uses "Database Connections" on the Pro-branded page Create lists of data—ArcPy Get Started | ArcGIS Desktop *** Python migration from 10.x to ArcGIS Pro—ArcPy Get Started | ArcGIS Desktop ArcGIS Pro Python Reference—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop

It would be helpful to replicate AGOL's symbol clustering without having to create a new feature class. Here's an example: I want to map public parking lots. If there are 5 parking lots on one property, I may not need a symbol for all 5 lots. Symbolizing as we do online would be preferable to creating a temporary file (that can be lost/broken) just for the map.

I find the highlight fade to be overengineered in Pro (efforts that would've been better spent on bug-fixes).

For a single GIS user in an organization that does not have a dedicated IT department, I will stick with Desktop as long as possible - because while the user interface may be clunky and the 32-bit architecture occasionally a problem, it runs the tasks I need to do, and it does it reliably on machines I can afford. Pro doesn't run many of the tasks I need to do on any machine, and does not run on machines that are within our org's budget.

Modify vertices might work for this at 2.2.1.

Shadow X/Y offsets are also limited to integers. This is not helpful unless you're using huge text. This is awful:

It would be helpful if key numbering could be enforced for all labels for a given label class.

At least they now have a partial list of known problems with ArcGIS Pro release notes Release notes for ArcGIS Pro 2.2—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop . I keep asking for them to allow users to filter the Technical Support Bugs list on Esri Support Search-Results by product type/version but no luck yet.

I would like to be able to insert a table in the layout view as you would in Microsoft Word and edit/format it as you would in Excel. The goal in this case is to format text with borders or tabbed spacing and to adjust the text angle, and not to retain the data for other maps/layouts in Excel or a geodatabase. This table was pasted from Excel as two images and resized. The styles and checkmark would not have been possible even with a linked table.

This was available in Production Mapping for Desktop, which is cost-prohibitive for most users. Given the time professional GIS users are contributing to the development of Pro through testing and bug reporting, it would be nice if this essential functionality would move into the base software.
