I was working remotely with a VPN - its fine in the office, but remote its unusable. Doesn't seem to be the case with Desktop though. ... View more

Agree with Elliot. Make sure it has a graphics card. Integrated graphics won't cut it. I am working on a Dell XPS 15 with just about every addon. ... View more

You just have to search wherever your project is. I typically look first for the county with a search term like this - Cook County Open Data Portal GIS and then I'll try the MPO (i.e. CEMCOG) and finally the city. ... View more

And just so I'm clear - I meant the bottom and middle floors that are covered. I would suggest placing them on the top floor to help convey that it is indeed a parking garage.  I also have customized my rule to randomly place really low-res/-poly cars in stalls adjacent to the openings, but almost never even use it. It just doesn't seem to be worth the performance hit.  ... View more

I just posted two animated Gifs of me browsing directories in Pro on another thread and thought I should post them here too. Something is either not working in Pro, or I'm missing a necessary network protocol on my server adapter to make this function as one would expect. 1. Browsing a directory in ArcGIS Pro 2. Browsing the same directory in Windows ... View more

In case you were wondering what this looks like in Windows File Explorer....instant. ... View more

Here is a screen cap of me simply browsing to a directory. Over a minute and half just to retrieve folder names.  ... View more

Thanks Kory. I'll try to disable indexing, but as of now the speed of my data connections has made pro almost unusable. I am connecting to a geodatabase over a network. Its taking forever to do anything. Copying a small file between two databases took me about 30 minutes.  A spatial join for 1000 features took about the same time. ... View more

I'm with Kristian on this one. I have been trying to work with a geodatabase over a network and it has been absolutely excruciating.  I have tried to copy small datasets between geodatabases on my network and it takes 30+ minutes. My productivity is so poor that I now work on two things at once as simply working in GIS would allow me to get anything done. ... View more

Thanks Matt. Never thought of this. I'm going to give it a try. ... View more

Machine specs are solid - Dual Xeon processeors (20 core total), 256GB of RAM, 1TB SSD.  Is there an ArcGIS Index or is it relying on Windows indexing? ... View more

SEMCOG is great. Honestly some of the best metadata I've seen. I'm glad I could share it. Is it Common knowledge...I'm not sure. My brother's architecture firm in Detroit wasn't aware of it and until I showed them the light. More and more communities/counties/mpos are implementing Esri's Open Data Portal. I usually check there first and use OSM/Get Map Data as a backup.  ... View more

Probably should have phrased this as a question. Does anyone have any advice? ... View more
