Dynamic elements on the layout (ex: legend items with show only visible option checked on, dynamic text, etc) work with how symbols are drawn on the map - not with feature geometry (point coordinates). It is a visual, WYSIWYG, experience. This allows the layout elements to be database agnostic. This also allows for better performance. There is a trade-off to this approach - the "symbol overlap" issue described in this thread. There is no option to switch from the "symbol" based approach. In cases where geometric accuracy/precision is required I would recommend using Select by Location or a geoprocessing tool to get better results.  ... View more

@JuanitaBorden @CodaRain23  We hope to have a fix included in the next 3.3 service pack/patch. I'll reply to this thread once this has been confirmed and the service pack/patch becomes available. ... View more

@GISAdminSHN - No, there is not an option for layout elements such as legends and dynamic text to override the symbol with the coordinate of the point. ... View more

Hi @stevebrooks1  I'm not aware of any specific issue regarding the duplication of scale bar labels. It would be extremely difficult to troubleshoot this issue without more information - scale of map, scale bar property settings, etc... 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. They can be contacted at https://support.esri.com/en/contact-tech-support. Tom ... View more

Hi @zsitompul  I'm unaware of any specific issue regarding the drawing of graphic layer features.  There may be an issue with the cache. Try clearing the cache and see if that solves the issue. If you are still running into the problem I would treat it as a bug and contact 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

All,  We've been testing a fix to this issue and so far things are looking good.  Hopefully we will be able to provide the fix in the next 3.3 service pack. We are still evaluating the risk of including this fix into the service pack and testing the fix in general. I'll post once I know for sure it is in the service pack. Tom ... View more

Hi @MichaelBruening  A bug was submitted for this issue - BUG-000142783 Attachment names with spaces are not displayed when selecting an image dynamically in ArcGIS Pro. This bug was addressed for Pro version 3.1. If you are experiencing this issue with a post 3.1 version of Pro please contact support. They can be contacted at https://support.esri.com/en/contact-tech-support. It is possible that in addressing the issue we did not address all variations and your specific case is not handles by the fix. We would need to know these specifics (for example data type used) to investigate further. Thanks, Tom ... View more

All,  An update.  There is a logged issue - "BUG-000167906 A legend item element gets duplicated when copying a shapefile from a map frame on one layout to another map frame on another layout." Though the title is specific to shapefiles I no longer believe the problem is specific to shapefiles. I've been able to reproduce with file GDB data. The key to spotting this issue is that the duplication is done on the legend pointing to the map frame/map that you copied the layer from and not legend pointing to the map frame/map you pasted to. Now that we have a reproducible case we can get our developers debugging the issue. Hopefully the fix is straight forward and one that can be included in a service pack. Of course we need to gather more info before making a call on the service pack. I want to thank all of you for reporting this issue and providing as much information as you could. Special thanks to those I had the pleasure of meeting at this years UC and troubleshooting this issue in real-time.  Thanks You!!!! Tom ... View more

All,  First, thanks for the feedback.  I understand and appreciate everyone's frustration with this issue. Obviously something was missed in testing and certifying the software release.  Currently we do not know what was missed. That this problem is intermittent makes it even more challenging. That is why it is important to gather as much information as possible. It increases our odds of reproducing the bug. We can't really fix a bug until we can reproduce it and then validate the fix. Otherwise, we are just guessing at the solution. I'll alert the others on the Layout Team of this issue. Hopefully we can track this down and fix it. Again, thanks to all for your help! Tom ...
