Surely there has got to be a better way to communicate the differences between the various legend types than this, right?   Adding on to this, is there a good guide on how to create a simple and effective legend? Whenever I create a legend in Pro, I constantly get lost in the dozens of submenus trying to tweak the size of the various components of the legend so that it is easily visible on larger maps. Not sure if I'm missing something, but legends in Pro have always just been extremely cumbersome to set up for me.    ... View more

I'm quite frustrated. We regularly georeference old plats onto our map to aid in the reconstruction of parcels in an area. A recurring issue that I have had ever since switching to the ArcGIS Pro parcel fabric is that after you have georeferenced something, the parcel fabric will randomly lose the ability to edit. I get the following message when trying to move any parcel feature. If you check the status window, it reports no issues.  Even more strange is the fact that while it says the layer is uneditable, you can prove that it IS EDITABLE by going to the feature and changing an attribute and saving it. The attribute change is saved with no issue. The only problem is when trying to move a feature.  That made me think that the problem was with topology. So to test, I disable topology entirely. The feature will then move with out any issue whatsover.  I have reported this issue numerous times to ESRI tech support in the past, and nothing is ever done to fix it. They only give me a workaround, which is basically, rebuild the entire project from scratch. I have now had to do this 3 times in the last 6 months. This is unacceptable. This is obviously a bug that needs to be fixed at this point. Has anyone experienced this issue? I have searched high and low for a simpler solution, but there doesn't seem to be one and so far, tech support doesn't even seem to be willing to admit there is a greater problem. ... View more

For the past week or so, I have been getting crashes when using the Locate window in ArcGIS Pro. We are using a custom locator that we built that is currently stored on a network drive. What is strange is that this behavior only happens if the project has been open for a while. If I open the project search for something using the locate window, our locator finds it and will zoom you to it with no issues. If you leave the map open for a few hours and then try and use the locate window, it will crash by the time you have typed the third or fourth character.  I have put in a ticket with ESRI technical support but I'm getting frustrated because their initial response has been to blame the crashes on the fact that we have the locator on a network drive. This has never been an issue before on ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro so I'm not sure why it would be all of a sudden. This issue is also hitting across multiple versions. I am 3.2.2 but my coworker is on on 3.2.1 and they are having the same problem. This all started within the last week or so. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas on how I can fix it? ...

Is this intentional? Running the "Rebuild Locator" GP tool removes the locator from the current project. It does not appear to remove it from other projects, but this has me nervous now. I was looking to schedule the address locator for getting rebuilt once a week, but I do not want to do that if it is going to end up removing the locator from all of the users projects.  ... View more
