Hi Varinder,  You can edit index features for both ArcMap Data Driven Pages and ArcGIS Pro Map Series. You may need to refresh the pages to update the series with the new geometries. Hope this helps, Tom ... View more

Glad I could help. 🙂 ... View more

Hi Sean,  Thanks for the idea.  You can view the actual text of the element by hovering the mouse over the text element in the Contents pane. The string is shown in the hover tip. Not exactly what you're looking for, but hopefully something that can help. Tom  ... View more

I was able to name a project with the example you provided and the dynamic text element for the project name displayed this text as expected. Based on this GeoNet thread - https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/arcgis-pro-project-naming-conventions/td-p/544982 - it appears that there is a character limit on the name of a project - 260 characters. As long as your project name is below that you should be fine. However, it sounds like you do not want a text element for the actual file name of the project, but something more akin to an alias (user friendly name) for the project that can be changed in one place. This could be an interesting enhancement and I would encourage you to add one to the Ideas site - https://community.esri.com/t5/custom/page/page-id/arcgis-ideas For the time being it appears that Robert's suggestion above has promise. I hope it works out. Tom   Tom ... View more

HI TadeášDěd,  You should be able to get the project name using the Name tag under the Project section of the Dynamic text gallery. The specific help topic can be found here - https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/layouts/add-and-modify-dynamic-text.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_E9D2C73425704159A1F912713E7AC19B Hope this helps,  Tom ...

HI Robert,  Sorry to hear that you are running into an issue using the Strip Map Index Features GP tool.  I'm unaware of any recent performance issues using this GP tool.  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 Alex,  Text elements added to the layout are in "page" space. There is no connection to the geographic space of the map. If you want text to be anchored to a geographic location you need to add the text (static graphic text text element, feature label or annotation layer) to a map. Hope this helps,  Tom ... View more

Marcel,  I'm able to reproduce this issue and have entered an internal bug.  If this is an issue that you wish to track please contact support. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Tom ... View more

Marcel,  Yes, at any age, 25 is not within the range 17-23.  Looks like you found a bug. Can you contact Esri Support? They can be contacted at https://support.esri.com/en/contact-tech-support. The good news is you also found a workaround! Tom ... View more

Hi Marcel,  "1-2" is not technically a range. A range is usually understood to be of at least 3 values.  Why are you using a dash (-) between consecutive pages and not a comma (,)? Is there a particular reason you need to use "-" instead of a "," between consecutive numbers?  Thanks, Tom ... View more

Hi Helen,  Unfortunately, enhancement requests are not available to the search engine. I'm unaware of any specific idea available to vote on, however, you could contact support and add your name to ENH-000105494 if you wish to add weight to the importance of the issue.  Thanks, Tom ... View more

Hi Helen,  Adding this functionality to the Pro Legend is still on the "to do" list. We may get to it in the next year. You should be able to search the bug number - ENH-000105494 - at the support page. Unfortunately, when I tried I did not get a result.  I'll follow up to see what might be wrong with the search.  Tom ...

Hi Miles,  Sorry that your experience with grid labeling is not what you'd hoped.  We have plans to provide an option to set ticks and labels parallel to the map frame edge. I'm hopeful we can have this available to cartographers like yourself within the next year. If this is something you wish to keep track of I would highly recommend that you contact support and enter a bug. They can be contacted at https://support.esri.com/en/contact-tech-support. While posts like these are important feedback and do get read they do not have the same weight as an actual support issue that is being tracked in our system.  Thanks for spending the time to help us identify areas of the software that deficient.  Tom ...
