Hello @urquidid , Thanks for your comment. No, I haven't found a solution, although I haven't dug into it in a while. Thank you for the link - I will read up on it and see if it's something we'd want to use. Thanks! Allen

Dear Esri, Has this been changed in the November 2024 ArcGIS Online update? I'm seeing behavior that makes me think you can now zoom to a feature even when using a map image layer, rather than a feature layer. Can I trust my eyes? ha I read all the documentation (at least all that I could find) about the update but didn't see anything about this.

I recently upgraded Pro from 3.0.3 to 3.3.2. Now, right after upgrading, I am suddenly having a problem with rebuilding address locators. The problem is that rebuilding takes 30 minutes; it used to take under 1 minute. I got Warning 003106: "The 'Point Address' dataset has a unique ID field mapped to the 'Address Join ID' role field. This join strategy is not optimal and may lead to degradation in performance and increased locator size." I had not changed anything in the locator's configuration in the meantime. The locator was working perfectly before this Pro upgrade. Why is this happening?? I mean, why is the version of Pro causing this to happen now? Is this a bug or a real problem with my locator?

I ran into this, with the same tutorial, also. I hope Esri adds a way to resize the chart's legend, like a way to specify the legend height as well as the width, or a drag bar to resize the legend. I'd be sad if I ran into this issue while creating a real app.

I have been having this problem, and I found this bug documentation from Esri: https://support.esri.com/en-us/bug/create-locator-returns-the-error-message-error-002777-t-bug-000153036 My path does have periods in it, in the server name, which includes "name.dmz". So I guess that's the problem. The bug was found in Pro 3.0.2 and fixed in 3.1. I am using 3.0.3. Time to upgrade!

Hi there, I'm sorry you're having this problem, and sorry to say I have no idea why this would be happening! Perhaps Esri Support could help troubleshoot it with you? Good luck! Allen

Hi there, It would help to see your code in the code-style font/format. You can do that by clicking the button to expand the toolbar (when you are writing a reply here), then click the </> icon to insert code. I see that you are using the variable "thisFD" for arcpy.ListFeatureClasses(). For me, this variable name could cause a little confusion and obscure a possible reason for your error. I would expect "thisFD" to represent the feature dataset name or object, so I would not expect it to end up as None, because how would you have a feature dataset name for a nonexistent feature dataset? But since the variable is representing the list of feature classes within the dataset, you could have a feature dataset with nothing in it. So the variable could represent None (no feature classes). That's where I find it could cause confusion. Personally, I find it helpful to use variable names that very literally indicate what they represent. I think if the variable name was something like "fc_list", it would very clearly indicate what it represents, and it would indicate that it could be empty/None, because a list can be empty. I agree with what the previous person said, to add handling to deal with an empty list.

Hi, Have you made sure that your connection file is pointing to the version?

Hello, I am unable to access or find label placement settings for a polygon layer in the "new" Map Viewer. The documentation doesn't seem to indicate that placement is only available for line layers, so I am confused about why I am not able to access placement. Here is what I see in the label properties: Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

I'm also facing this issue with the "new" Map Viewer. I have a layer in my map consisting of cities, as polygons. The labels are only placed on the center of the polygon. If I zoom into a corner of the city, even a large area like a couple of entire neighborhoods, the city label does not appear there at all - it is off-screen in the center of the city. That is really not ideal; the main purpose of my map is to show users if a certain location is in a city, and which one. I can achieve this through symbology, pop-ups, and perhaps special functionality in an app I will use the web map in. But it's pretty basic to have a city label show up if you're looking at part of the city. I hope Esri will make this happen soon.

I've run into this issue myself. I discovered this piece of Esri documentation that says that zooming to a feature is only available for feature services. In my own map, in the "new" map viewer, I am unable to zoom to features in a layer that's from a map service I published. I added this map service, which contains 4 layers, to the map by adding the whole service as an ArcGIS Online (AGOL) content item, and then adding this whole service / content item into my map. Not one layer at a time. However, I can zoom to features in a layer that was brought into ArcGIS Online as an individual layer; the service it is part of contains many layers, but these layers were brought into AGOL as one layer per content item, not one service per content item. So it would appear that in order to be able to zoom to a feature via the attribute table in the new map viewer, the layer has to be its own separate content item in AGOL, rather than part of a content item for a whole map service. This feels pretty inconvenient to me.

My idea is to allow users to choose to view all metadata elements, from all supported metadata standards, at once, in ArcGIS Pro. This means everything that's in the metadata XML, but in a user-friendly GUI in Pro. When you go to Options in Pro and select a metadata standard, it seems like none of the standards will show you all of the existing metadata elements in the Esri metadata. I know that the Esri metadata includes all elements that would be needed for any of the supported metadata standards, but that each standard is a smaller subset of metadata elements. This is great. But it would be extremely helpful to be able to view all of the Esri metadata elements at once, without having to go to Options to switch standards enough times so that you think you've probably come across all the elements somewhere along the line, or without having to deal with the XML. This occurred to me when I had to check and update metadata for many, many feature classes in my organizations enterprise geodatabases. Some of the metadata was written many years ago by former employees using different metadata standards. But now we are using Item Description format. So it was just by chance (I don't remember exactly how I came across this) that I discovered that for some feature classes, very outdated metadata exists in some obscure metadata fields used in FGDC or something. To find such things, it would make a big difference to be able to view every single metadata element for a feature class, all at once, in one place, in Pro. This would be the content that's in the XML, but more user-friendly.

I like this idea. I did not know until a few years into my GIS career that geoprocessing history was stored in metadata! So this idea would help prevent that lack of knowledge.

It's interesting to see that this post was written in 2011!! I'm really curious as to whether any action is happening related to this? I hope so. Before I came across this post, I had already posted my own "Idea" about this issue, which is here, just FYI: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/symbology-add-a-button-to-opt-out-of-automatically/idc-p/1423394#M30001

‎05-09-2024

I discovered there is another "Idea" for this, posted 13 years ago in 2011: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/symbology-changing-the-value-should-not-update-the/idi-p/928055 It has a lot of votes. It's also marked as "under consideration." Esri people, do you know if anything is happening with this? Thanks!
