Hi Levi,  Not being able to remove/delete a table frame would be a fairly serious issue.  Are able to delete the existing table frame from the page? The ability to re-source the table frame to point to another layer (present in any map frame on the active layer) is something that is currently being worked (as specified in this thread). When you attempt to add a new table frame do you have a layer selected in the Contents pan? This would be one reason why the button is grayed out. Another reason is you are attempting to add a table frame for a layer4 that isn't supported (e.g. basemap layers). What kind of layer are you working with?  Tom ... View more

Brian,  This is on purpose. In order to always display a fill for the polygon (even if it is empty) the legend will limit the thickness of the outline to about 1/4 the size of the patch. If you want to preserve thick polygon outlines in the legend you will need to increase the size of the legend patch.  If you do not want to change the size of the legend patch there is no way to adjust the outline width of a legend patch manually. You will need to create your own graphic separate from the legend. Hope this helps,  Tom ... View more

Shaun,  From the screenshots it looks like the scale bar adjusts properly to the change in map scale, but the scale text does not. Is the scale text element pointing to the right map frame? You can see which map frame the element is pointing to by opening the elements properties. The name of the map frame is highlighted in the image below. I'm not aware of any issues with using templates or copying and pasting scale text elements. In my testing they update as I expect. It is possible you may still be seeing a bug. 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 . If you add a new scale text element does it show the correct scale?  Tom ... View more

Shaun,  It is available.  Please refer to the help topic - https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/layouts/grids-and-graticules.htm. Your screenshot shows graticules (in degrees minutes and seconds). So you might be interested in this help topic - https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/layouts/add-and-modify-graticules.htm.  Hope this helps,  Tom ... View more

Shaun,  Currently, the Pro legend does not display groups in the legend item tree-view in the Contents page. I'm not aware of any plans to add this in the future.   Tom ... View more

Hi Dake,  We made a change to how you add a map frame to the layout page because we found that in most cases people resized and re-positioned the map frame after adding it. We felt that it would be less work to be able to draw the box on the page when you added the map frame. So, with 2.3 and newer versions, you need to click (single click or draw a box) in the layout view after choosing the map you want the map frame to reference from the gallery. Tom ... View more

Dake,  Which version of Pro are you using?  After selecting the map & extent from the gallery... .. are you single clicking in the page to add the map frame, or are you drawing a box?  After you think you have added a map frame is one listed in the Contents pane?  Can you provide a screenshot of what you are seeing? Thanks, Tom ... View more

Hi Shaun,  The "New layer" option under Synchronize with map refers specifically to new layers added to a map. When you set a new source map fro a map frame you are not changing the layers of an existing map. You are pointing the map frame (and all the map surrounds referencing this map frame) t a new map. Therefore the legend will be repopulated with the layers of the new map just as if you added a new legend to the page. The only difference is the existing legend should keep any legend formatting you have made. Currently, there is no way to create an "empty" legend where you add the layers you want. Instead, the model we chose is one of subtraction. Turn off or remove legend items you don't want.  I'm assuming that the items (layers) you see in the legend all belong to the map that is now referenced by the map frame. If this is not the case, then there is likely a bug. If so, this is by design. Hope this helps,  Tom ... View more

Hi Vitaly,  I've passed along your comments.  Hopefully this is something we can address in the next release. Tom ... View more

 Vitaly,  Unfortunately, the workaround you propose is most likely your solution at this point.  I'll see what I can do to promote this issue and see if we can address it in the next release. Tom ... View more

The decimal issue looks like it occurs in the Contents pane as well as the legend. The legend pulls the label text from Contents. This is something that the Map Authoring team should evaluate. Tom ... View more

Hi Vitaly &Thomas,  This is a known bug. We have an internal issue for this, though if this is something you would like to track we can contact technical support and enter a bug number.  Tom ... View more

Hi Michelle,  I'm not getting a clear idea of what your workflow is. Are you zooming to features within your map (geographic space), or are you zooming into a section of the map frame (page space). You can set a map frame constraint to manage the extent of the map - see Map frame constraints—Layouts | ArcGIS Desktop . You can also lock elements so that you don't accidentally move them when selecting other elements on the layout page. From the help topic Layouts in ArcGIS Pro—Layouts | ArcGIS Desktop: "Once added to a layout, elements can be selected, moved, and resized on the layout to achieve the desired look and feel. This behavior can be turned off by locking an element, preventing selection, moving, or resizing interactively on the layout. Switch between locked and unlocked views by clicking the Lock button   next to the element in the Contents pane." Even though you lock an element and cannot interactively select the element, you can still select the element from the Contents pane if you want to open the properties of that element. Hope this helps,  Tom ... View more
