Hi Moritz.  Not an answer, but a follow up question related to your experience.  Do you find that the quality of the PNG degrades when exporting to PDF then to PNG externally.  Relative to directly exporting to PNG from ArcGIS Pro.  Much appreciated, Zach ... View more

Hello all, I ran into this issue today and was able to resolve it, at least for my specific use case. The issue for me was that Pro greys out the Leader options when one map frame has a Map Series enabled. This happens even if the extent of the second map frame is completely visible in the first. You can temporarily access the Leader options in the Extent Indicator menu by turning off the Map Series. After I had my leader preferences set, I was able to turn the Map Series back on with no issues.  I hope this helps, Spencer ... View more

I voted for your idea.  I still need this functionality! https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/conditional-formatting-for-cells-in-a-layout-table/td-p/140304   There's another idea if you also want to vote for that: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-ideas/conditional-formatting-within-table-widget/idi-p/1079065   ...

Hi. I have a similar Problem that I am unable so solve for about forever. I want to create a dynamic Layout, that I can juse for most maps and do not have to adjust every time. Since ArcGIS does not offer the possibility to add a text field with a decent looking background that adjusts to the title of the Layout I integrated the title into the legend.  The idea is, that the legend grows upwards when stuff is added... Buuuuuuuut, if it turns out that if the title gets to short... the legend shrinks in width. This was probably my 100th attempt to solve this problem. None of the different fitting strategies have any (good) effect on this. Is there some workaround that I am missing? I cannot believe there is no solution to make automated map produktion not look like they are from 1950 or having to dial in everything by hand... I would really appreciate some help with this. ...

Be careful what you say, I was reprimanded for bad mouthing ArcPro. He told me this is not the place to complain, they only want happy things here. I replied by saying a community to work directly with the uses would be nice to we can suggest and get things fixed. We are the foot soldiers with GIS, if you don't listen to us things may only get worse. He told me I should talk to my rep, but he just quit and went somewhere else, keep getting new reps. So I have to go through my whole story again and again. I am looking at other avenues, like Diamond Maps and OpenGov. I am a currently doing double work now with ArcMap and ArcPro. First edit locally then in the wee hours copy data to Pro. I was a devoted Esri fan, but not since Pro came out. Man how Esri has changed in the last 25 years. United We Map! Maybe someday they will listen to users.......... ... View more

The same issue has occurred with me.  I am grading a lot of pdf exports.  I think I tried to overwrite a PDF with a new one of the same name as well.  All my exported layout pdfs are 1kb and won't open.   I am trying to export models using Pro 3.1. ... View more

Apologies @LarissaAu it seems I never followed this up. Added now: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/hide-a-table-frame-if-no-records-are-present-on-a/idi-p/1355604 ... View more

Hi @ScottSweet2  Sorry you are running into an issue.  I'm currently unaware of any known issues concerning the "Hard light" blend option. I just tested with a map background and a basemap hill shade (ArcGIS Map Service) and saw no issue.  It is likely that the issue is specific to the layers and properties in your (and other's) map. Without knowing these details and being able to reproduce the issue you describe there is very little help I can offer. 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
