In a previous Esri Support Case, there was a similar issue to yours where one of the feature classes had empty geometry for the feature.  They ran the Repair Geometry GP tool to fix the issue and this seemed to correct the legend crashing issue they were experiencing.  I'd recommend running that first on your feature classes participating in the map view and try to add a new legend to your layout.  Does the issue persist? ...

@TeresaA  - so I'm seeing this as well in ArcGIS Pro 3.5.  I "think" it's the way the editing panes are configured for creating/updating features.  If, after editing and saving, you click the View core tab and in the Windows group, click the drop down for Pane Sets and select Mapping, then this behavior goes away.  Still very strange though... ...

Another thing to consider is if you're not in a 3D Local or 3D Global scene, convert the 2D map view to a 3D scene.  Then go to the Scene Properties->General Tab and for Elevation Units, click the dropdown menu to Meters.  Then the Z(Feet) will switch over to Z(meters).  At this point, you should be able to enter meters directly. ...

@RTPL_AU -thank you for your response(s) and detailed explanation of your position.  As a Senior Instructor and Principal Technical Lead in Esri Training Services, I have little to no impact on how the ArcGIS Pro application is programmed/managed/updated/released/<fill in the blank>.  There are over 6000 Esri employees internationally and our primary goal is to serve our customers in any and all capacities with regards to GIS software and applications.  The Esri Community is a wonderful platform for customers to ask questions, seek solutions, add ideas and more.  I am an active participant on the ArcGIS Pro community as you likely know and try my best to answer customer questions so they may be successful in their respective roles in their organizations.  I teach many ArcGIS Pro, file and enterprise geodatabase, web application classes and can only share my experiences with Pro and other platforms.  I encourage you to reach out beyond the Ideas page and connect directly with the ArcGIS Pro development teams so your thoughts and ideas may be implemented in future releases of the application.  Is ArcGIS Pro or ANY software application perfect?  No.  Together, customers and employees alike, we try to improve the application with each release.  I don't have an answer for you.  I wish I did.  Respectfully - Robert ...

For your area of interest parameter, it shows an in_memory layer.  Perhaps use an existing feature class instead of an in_memory layer and see if that resolves the error message 999999. ... View more

If I understand correctly, you want the Z Value UI to default to m vs ft, correct?  I've been banging my head on where to change this in the UI so wonder if it's a regional setting with the software?  I'm thinking a workaround would be to create an immediate calculation rule for insert and updates where you just type in a value recognizing it's in feet, then the calculation rule triggers and converts it instantaneously to meters. The arcade expression would be: $feature.<FieldName> * 0.3048 Replace the <FieldName>, with your field name - something like $feature.Z_value * 0.3048 To create an attribute rule, use this workflow - Create and manage attribute rules—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation ...

Sorry to hear you're experiencing these issues - it's not ideal to put it mildly.  I HIGHLY recommend you contact Esri Support Services, create a case and work with them to troubleshoot the issue.  I've been working with ArcGIS Pro for years in Esri Training Services and my laptop has had no major issues running GP tools, the ribbon is responsive, I do clean uninstalls/reinstalls with every major release, update my video card drivers regularly and more.

@SusanPollard - adequate processing power for ArcMap is definitely not the same for ArcGIS Pro.  Pro requires much more power than ArcMap.  You may want to consider running this - SystemRequirementsLab - Client App - to see where your Lenovo PC stacks up with the system requirements.  From there, we can continue troubleshooting. ...

As I'm not seeing much with regards to this issue in the internals, I would recommend you contact Esri Support Services to see if they know of a possible solution.  This is a frustrating one for sure... ... View more

Hi @parkcountygis - yeah - I'm active on the ArcGIS Pro questions as you see!  This is an interesting question as I have not seen this behavior before.  A couple questions for you: 1.  Are you working with a fGDB or eGDB? 2.  Are you coded value domains independent or assigned to a subtype? 3.  You did not see this behavior before 3.5?  Have you installed any 3.5.x patches? 4.  Can you share a sample of the data with me so I may test?  My email address is rleclair at esri dot com - thx! ...

Within the internals, I see 2 bugs logged with Esri Support Services that are similar to what you all are experiencing: BUG-000178177 - Some WFS services do not work in ArcGIS Pro 3.5.2 because the query string in the server URL is truncated in the server connection.  Workaround is add a server using connection files created in earlier versions of ArcGIS Pro.  (Fixed at 3.6) BUG-000177932 - ArcGIS Pro fails to draw WFS layers secured with an API key when added to a map because the required custom parameter is dropped from requests.  Workaround is save the WFS layer as a content item in ArcGIS Online (using custom parameters), then add the layer to ArcGIS Pro via the Portal connection, and it will draw correctly (and include the API key in its requests). ...

I would recommend a soft reset first, then test your workflow again.  If it still crashes, perform a clean uninstall/reinstall, then test your workflow again.  Does the application still error out? ... View more
