First, turn off "Layer visibility" in the Legend properties. Then you can turn off the layer without affecting the legend. Tom ... View more

You should be able to find it through esri support (https://support.esri.com/en) and searching on the number. I tried this and did not get a result (you may have as well).  @KoryKramer - ENH-000114737 is a valid number and one I can find through internal esri systems, but cannot find through the Support search.  Can you help?  Thanks. ...

Hi @Scoth  You are not missing a tool parameter. There is no setting that will give you what you're looking for. Unfortunately, I believe you will need to edit each grid manually - set rotation value to zero and move the grid - to get what you want.  Hope this helps, Tom   ... View more

Hi Curt,  I'm not aware of any known issues specific to WMS layers and exporting to a PDF. The problem you are running into may be specific to the specific WMS service and or the workflow you are using.  Can you contact Esri Support? They are better equipped to handle troubleshooting steps and gather bug data. They can be contacted at https://support.esri.com/en/contact-tech-support. Thanks, Tom ... View more

Hi g_mcgowan,  I don't believe a bug was ever submitted.  I have not run across this issue as a bug (with reproducible steps provided by someone like yourself) or though my own testing. I cannot verify whether it is still an issue or not.  Please, can you contact Esri Support? They are better equipped to handle troubleshooting steps and gather bug data. They can be contacted at https://support.esri.com/en/contact-tech-support. Thanks,  Tom ... View more

Hi Aaron,  Thanks for the feedback. I'll pass your comment to the team.   You ight not be aware of it, but "mousing" to locate an element is not the only option. You can also set the placement of the element through the Element pane (right-click the element and choose Properties from the context menu). Though this isn't as efficient as "mousing" it does offer a level of precision that would be hard to replicate manually with a mouse. Hopefully this workaround helps. Tom ... View more

Hi learnasyougo,  I'm not aware of any issue with map graphics being dropped in the print of export result for a map series. The problem you are running into may be specific to your data/workflow. Can you contact Esri Support? They are better equipped to handle troubleshooting steps and gather bug data.

It sounds like you may be running into a known issue (BUG-000143921). When the map frame has both a grid and an an extent indicator Pro is only registering the first property change made for the grid in the Element pane. We have addressed this issue in the upcoming 3.1 release. In the meantime, removing the extent indicator should allow you to toggle the visibility, or make other changes to the grid. Once you are finished add the extent indicator. Another workaround is to force the Element pane to "refresh" by selecting the Extent indicator in the Contents Pane right after making a change to the grid. 1. In the Contents pane right-click the grid and click Properties (this open the Element pane) 2. In the Element pane change the visibility of 1 side 3. In the Contents pane select the Extent Indicator (this "refreshes" the pane) 4. Select the grid 5. Make the next change Hope this helps, Tom   ... View more

Hi Ryan,  There is no one "best" way to add a "Title". It all depends on what you want to do.  There are 2 basic graphic text element types: Straight text elements (and curved text) and polygon text elements (rectangle, circle,. etc..). The help topic Add graphics, text, and pictures in a layout provides more info. If you are not interested in the text wrapping into new lines (within the bounding box that you initially drew when inserting the legend) I would use straight text and just create a graphic rectangle for the "box".

Hi Ryan,  Its disabled because it is not a valid setting given the context. I provided a link in the previous post (10-20-2022 06:13 AM) that explains this situation. Are you able to access this post? If so, do you have any specific question concerning the explanation? Tom ... View more

Hi @RenePretorius  Unfortunately, there is no option in the UI to change the values of legend classes based on the current page of a map series (and current extent of the map).  Tom ... View more

MohdZukhairiAbdLatef, When you create a map series you have the option to set map properties such as rotation and spatial reference. In order to do this you need to have fields in the index layer that are appropriate. This information is provided in the help topic I mentioned (and linked to) above. Do you have a specific question? Tom ... View more

Hi @MohdZukhairiAbdLatef, @Hala_Abdelmaksoud is correct that Map Series works with a single layout. You state that you are using a standard map template in UTM Zone. Is this template a Layout file (.pagx)? If so, I believe you may still be able to use Map Series since the template is based on a single layout page. Map Series can be used to update the spatial reference (UTM zone) of the map. You can use different spatial references for different pages in the map series based on a field in the index layer. For more information see Spatial Reference sub section under Optional Fields section in the help topic Create a spatial map series. You can also use the geoprocessing tool Calculate UTM Zone in the Cartography toolbox to create the UTM zone field. An important thing to keep in mind when using a Map Series to change spatial reference and other map properties (ex: rotation, map clipping) is that these updates made for the current Map Series page are also applied to the map and will be present when viewing the map in a Map View. If this an issue with your workflow you may want to consider Tasks as Hala suggests. Hope this helps, Tom ... View more

Hi DucksInaRiver, No, the issue you are describing is not unique to the system, but may be "unique" how the image has been inserted. For example, was the image selected in the Insert Picture dialog with a single click or with a double click. There is a known issue with double clicking the image file in the Insert Picture dialog browser - see BUG-000151431. We are hoping to fix this for the next release (3.1).  There have also been issues with copy/paste, but it does not look like that is part of your scenario. If you are double-clicking try a single click to select the image file in the browser and then click the ok button on the Insert Picture dialog. Hopefully this will help you work around the issue. If this does not work for you then there is another unknown variable causing problems. In this case it is important to contact support. They are better equipped to handle troubleshooting steps and gather bug data if needed. They can be contacted at https://support.esri.com/en/contact-tech-support. I know it is frustrating. We try to cover as many variables as we can think of as we test. But unfortunately, we miss some.  Hope this helps, Tom ... View more
