perhaps it is some preceeding parameter or the version.  Below is for SA and Pro 3.7 the parameter is blank, but I left other parameters empty and haven't experimented further.  If it is/was a bug/issue I didn't see anything posted on the public facing support site. ... View more

Cell assignment depends on the geometry being converted.  Discussions are in the following links How Polygon To Raster works | ArcGIS Pro documentation How Point to Raster works | ArcGIS Pro documentation raster sampling by rasters would have to consider cell alignment and the snap raster Cell Alignment | ArcGIS Pro documentation Snap Raster | ArcGIS Pro documentation so I would be concerned if the rasters are misaligned   ...

One Drive and the like are still a ways off for complete integration with Pro (near term column) ArcGIS Pro Roadmap - May 2026 So other than providing a static backup of your work, there are still many threads about avoiding its use for active data access. Local storage and processing  is always the best unless you have multiple people that have to edit/add data at the same time. ... View more

Can you provide a reference whereby "average distance between two random points within a polygon" is going to give rise to a compactness measure when there other measures which are easy to calculate? Compactness measure - Wikipedia   ... View more

Integrate (Data Management Tools) | ArcGIS Pro documentation  to quote the 3.7 help files... It is recommended that you do not provide a value for the XY Tolerance parameter. When no value is provided, the tool will check the input feature classes' spatial reference to determine the x,y tolerance to use during integration. Ensure that the spatial reference of the input data is set to its default x,y resolution and x,y tolerance. Where they then say The XY Tolerance parameter is not intended to be used to generalize geometry shapes. It is intended to integrate line work and boundaries within the context of a properly set input feature class spatial reference. Setting the XY Tolerance parameter to a value other than the default for the input spatial reference may cause features to move too much or too little, resulting in geometry issues. If the correct spatial reference properties are used, running the Integrate tool can minimize the amount of movement in the data during subsequent topological operations (such as overlay and dissolve).   So perhaps it is the potential for geometry errors ...
