Hi @JTForrest  Currently, this cannot be done without creating a separate map as @Eugene_Adkins points out in his reply. We are currently working on new map frame functionality that will support your scenario.  This is listed in the ArcGIS Pro Roadmap. We hope to have this out this year, possibly as early as 3.7.  Hope this helps, Tom ... View more

Hi @magenta744  When you say map extents are generated in FME I'm assuming that this process is creating features that are used in a Spatial Map Series.  If so, what extent do you get if you select one of the features (map series pages) that is problematic and use zoom to selection command?  If you get the same unwanted extent then the issue is not with the Layout/Map Series. The problem is deeper in the code stack, perhaps with how Pro handles these extents or it could be an issue with how the data is created. If the problem is only reproducible with a Map Series then it likely a Layout-related bug.  I'm not familiar with any existing issues of this nature. 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. Hope this helps, Tom ... View more

Hi @JohnHernandez  Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks for the clear and concise post.  The Layout Team is aware of this issue and are working on a solution. You can track our progress using the bug number BUG-000181604.  Hopefully we'll have a fix available soon. Thanks, Tom   ... View more

Hi @Emily_Jenkins  I'm pretty sure you can already do this.  After you have you graphics selected press the CTRL on your keyboard, and with the this key pressed, click the checkbox next to one of the items you have selected in the Contents pane. This should toggle the visibility for all the selected elements. It should be the same experience you have with toggling the visibility of multiple, selected layers in a map. Please let us know if this doesn't fit into your workflow or it you had something more specific in mind. Thanks, Tom   ... View more

Hi @Kgilmore_83  If you have service layers (ex: basemap layers) in your map you are likely running into the following issue. BUG-000177418 The Pan and Zoom tools in an active layout in ArcGIS Pro 3.5.x cause the map view to revert to the previous extent. If your map does not contains service layers you may running into a different issue. Please contact technical support if this is the case. They can be contacted at https://support.esri.com/en/contact-tech-support. Hope this helps, Tom ... View more

Hi @KeithAddison1  One way to avoid adding all the layers in the map to a newly inserted legend is to select a single layer from the map in the Contents Pane (TOC) before inserting the legend. The legend should display an item for only that layer (or other selected layers). This is illustrated here. This does not negate the possible utility of being able to insert a blank legend. However, you may find this workaround useful. Tom ... View more

Hi @CarsonGEO  Without seeing your project/layout/maps/layers I cannot even make a guess on why you are seeing what your seeing.  Its possible that you might be running into a different bug. You might want to take this to 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. The bug should appear on the support site. Perhaps it is not sync'd up with the internal system yet. Tom ... View more

Hi @CarsonGEO  I believe this is a bug.  Here is the bug number that you use to track the issue - BUG-000178730.  To work around this Open the Insert Table Set the Table to None. Click OK. Go back into the dialog and reset the Table. Click OK. Or you can manually update the CIMPATH to the correct map name in the Element Pane “Plain text view”. Setting the Map Frame to “None” does not reset the element. You must “reset” the table (layer) link. Tom ... View more

Hi @CarolineThomson15  You can track issues from the support site.  Here is a link for the issue mentioned earlier in this thread -  https://support.esri.com/en-us/bug/in-arcgis-pro-the-map-layout-legend-does-not-honor-the-bug-000168999 Tom ... View more

@RTPL_AU  What is a reasonable amount of time to submit a bug? I think it depends on the customer, the issue, the priority of getting a fix, is there a workaround. In my opinion the answer to the question is mostly subjective.  We have an imperfect system. Things slip through the cracks. I hope you would agree that we all are trying our best to get our individual jobs done the best that we can. ... View more
