OK, Marco, you win.   But to repeat my comment below, ESRI has found a problem that was slowing down labeling in Pro and a fix is forthcoming in 2.5.  Also, more improvements in future versions. I'm holding my breath. ... View more

Yes.  ESRI reported to me that it has has found the cause of the labeling performance problems that I reported above and the fix will be in 2.5. https://community.esri.com/message/893480-re-arcgis-pro-242-in-general-arcpro-has-less-performance-than-arcmap?commentID…  There is reason for hope.  ...

Agreed.  "High level overview" means all of our data in SDE.  We need the ability to connect to our geodatabase, browse and add it to a map in Earth. ... View more

Maplex for both. ... View more

Kory Kramer‌, is this enough detail in my slower example? ... View more

Sometimes, Pro is faster, MUCH faster. Sometimes, Pro is slower, MUCH slower. Example:  FASTER We have an ArcGIS streets export model that runs the Simplify tool as a part of the tool. Measurements: ArcCatalog: the entire model takes about 10 minutes and the Simplify tool alone takes about 8 minutes. ArcGIS Pro: the entire model takes about 1.5 minutes and the Simplify tool takes only about 15 seconds!  So, ArcGIS Pro is 7 times faster on the entire export model and 30 times faster for the Simplify tool! Example:  SLOWER I had a user recently request a large, highly detailed wall-map of the city.  The map has lots of street labeling.  The Maplex labeling performance is much SLOWER in ArcGIS Pro.  I wound up giving up on Pro for this project because I just didn't want to wait that long for every refresh while tuning the labeling. Measurements: ArcMap: 1 minute. ArcGIS Pro: 3 minutes. Here, Pro is 3 times slower than ArcMap. Granted this is a very large map.  With most smaller maps the labeling time might be short enough that you could wait through it.  However it's still useful benchmark. So, as you can see, ArcGIS Pro has it's pros and cons.  I expect that ArcMap will have the same experience as the old ArcView GIS 3.X (AV3).  As time has gone by and computers become more and more powerful, AV3 has remained static with no further additions, and, so, when it's run on a modern computer, it performs almost instantaneously, in the blink of an eye, and puts ArcMap to shame in some tasks.  The same will be true of ArcMap, which is now the static product.  As time goes by, Pro will continue to grow and become more resource intensive and require faster and faster computers, and ArcMap will appear faster and faster by comparison, and people will continue to love it. In fact, I foresee ESRI have a hard time killing ArcMap, a decade down the road.  It's so much more capable than AV3 ever was, that I suspect that people will still be using it decades from now. ...

Wow!  Have you called tech support on that? ... View more

See the thread above and the comment by Kory Kramer on 10/11/19. https://community.esri.com/message/886946-re-automatically-save-edits-is-disabled-but-so-are-the-save-and-discard-button…  Those settings only apply to versioned data.  Edits to unversioned data are saved automatically in Pro.  This issue goes back to 2017.  In ArcMap you could cancel an edit session and discard your edits.  Kory indicates above that a resolution is in the works but it may take a while. ...

Glad to hear it, Tom Bole.‌  I'm holdin' ya to it!   Speaking of which, this is the first mention I've heard of ArcGIS Pro 2.5.  Can you give us ESRI's target release date for version 2.5? ... View more

Thanks Kory.  Happy to hear that there's a plan to address this. I would be happy just to have ArcMap Equivalence, but if ESRI wants to kick it up a notch and provide more granular roll-back for non-versioned data, I'm not going to argue with you.   Perhaps the idea at the link below should be marked as "In Product Plan" or combined with one of the others, as well. In ArcGIS PRO allow formal edit sessions for unversioned data in an enterprise GDB  ... View more

Robert LeClair‌, how's that enhancement request coming that you mentioned in your comment above? ENH-000102281: Create a radio option for Automatically saving edits in ArcGIS Pro similar to ArcMap ... View more

Yes, Thomas Colson‌, this is NOT an enhancement.  This is an ArcMap Equivalency issue, and it's wrong to classify it as an enhancement and make users feel like they have to ask for it.  This is something that should have been in the pipeline from the start.  Everyone whom I tell about this issue is shocked to find out that they can't cancel their edits on non-versioned data in Pro.  arcmap equivalent‌ arcmap equivalency‌ ...

This is a grave limitation and is certainly in the running for most significant problem with ArcGIS Pro.  It's like walking a tight-wire without the net that we have always had in ArcMap.  We need to get some momentum going with this one. arcmap equivalent‌ arcmap equivalency‌ Also, I think this idea should be differently named.  Perhaps it should be be named something like: Allow users to close ArcGIS Pro edit session without saving edits to unversioned data. Require confirmation before saving edits to unversioned data. ... View more
