Greg - not sure if this will help you or not but it's a start - http://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/mapping/navigation/sql-reference-for-elements-used-in-query-expressions.htm#GUID-F5320DB5-4E54-4D49-BF31-A58F5379ED9F ... View more

Here's another ArcGIS Pro free course on how to create new data in ArcGIS Pro - also called Getting Started with ArcGIS Pro. To create a new feature class within a geodatabase, you could use the Create Feature Class geoprocessing tool after creating your new geodatabase to store feature classes within. ... View more

Robert - I found a BUG logged that seems very close to what you're experiencing - BUG-000101179 It was discovered in 1.3.1 and is still open at 1.4.1.  I don't know if it will be resolved at 2.0 Pro. ... View more

Ann - you should be able to do this by going into MyEsri and configuring the extensions to work in a Concurrent Use environment.  I'd recommend reaching out to Esri Support Services for licensing to resolve.  Their number is 1-888-377-4575 . ... View more

I understand John.  As a Pro/ArcMap Instructor, I do receive many questions from customers about the future of ArcMap vs. ArcGIS Pro.  The ArcCatalog question does arise on a frequent basis.  I know the Pro Team is actively watching and reviewing ArcGIS Ideas so voting on this idea is a good idea to move it up in importance.  Being reviewed is a good sign certainly. ...

John - yes it is reasonable to assume ArcCatalog will be side by side with ArcMap following a similar life process - no major updates, just a update for stability/bug fixes.  So I would think one could use ArcCatalog for data management only and do one's analysis in ArcGIS Pro.  I know folks on the Pro Team are watching this thread but do not know what the thought process will be for a data management application within Pro that doesn't require creation of a project. Interesting link - thx.  I can see where concerns would be raised based upon this information.  Fortunately for customers, it's not correct. ... View more

Good morning John - I wanted to address your concerns about Desktop being retired in 2022.  To clarify, ArcGIS Desktop is the overall category name for ArcMap, ArcGIS Pro, ArcCatalog, ArcScene, ArcGlobe, extensions, etc. so Desktop is not being retired.  I believe you meant ArcMap in this case.  You are correct that ArcMap 10.5 is fully retired December 2022.  With that being said, there will be an ArcMap 10.6, 11, 11.1, etc. so the actual ArcMap product will not be retired for many, many years to come.  Customers may continue to use current and future releases of ArcMap if they wish.  But with that being said, product development, new functionality, etc. is being invested in ArcGIS Pro.  Future ArcMap releases will have some new functionality but will be focused on product stability and bug fixes.  The plan is for ArcGIS Pro 2.0 to be at functional equivalency as ArcMap with a release timeframe of Q2 2017. To address the ArcCatalog question, the current release of ArcGIS Pro does require a user to create a project to manage, analyze, etc GIS data.  Although not ideal, one can create a data management project only to manage GIS data and used that repeatedly to manage one's data.  I do not know if future releases of Pro will improve upon the data management question you ask - this is more applicable to the Pro Dev Team.  I hope this answers some of your concerns.  Feel free to continue asking additional questions. ...

To add onto what Jayanta mentioned, you may want to download the latest video card driver for your PC as well.  Go to Device Manager->Display Adapters, find the video card manufacturer/model, go to the manufacturers website, search for and install the latest driver from them.  Windows Update will not download the latest driver.  I find this helps reduce the number of crashes experienced by Pro users. ...

Kevin - in addition to the troubleshooting link, an resource recommends a "clean" uninstall of ArcMap to remove the issue.  The steps are as follows: 1. Uninstall ArcGIS 10.x. Remove any ArcGIS programs from the Add/Remove programs list, if there are any extensions remove those first before uninstalling ArcGIS 10.x Desktop.  2. Uninstall all Python programs (2.6 is installed with 10.0 and 2.7 with 10.1 and 10.2 and 10.3). If Python is not listed in the Control Panel, delete the folder(s) at C:\Python26 or C:\Python27 3. Go to C:\Users\'your login'\AppData\Roaming and delete the ESRI Folder (and the Esri_old folder). 4. Go to Start > Run and type regedit and press the Enter Key  4.2. Delete the ESRI Folder (and the Esri_old folder) in HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software  4.3. Delete the ESRI Folder in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software  5. Delete the ArcGIS Folder in C:\Program Files(x86)\Common files.  Do the same for the C:\Program Files\Common files folder if applicable. 6. Delete the ArcGIS Folder in C:\Program files(x86).  Do the same for the C:\Program Files folder if applicable. 7. If the ArcGIS program still exists in the Add remove Program list, download the Windows Installer cleanup Utility (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651/) and it will clean up that list.  8. Install ArcGIS 10.x (Python will install automatically) Hope this helps! Regards, Robert LeClair Esri-Denver ... View more

Tony - interesting but in a scary way certainly.  This issue has been seen by the Pro Dev Team and to my knowledge, will be resolved in the ArcGIS Pro 2.0 release.  More to come... ... View more

David - I will have to defer to Timothy Hales ([email protected]) as he is the GeoNet administrator and has better knowledge about how Ideas submitted are labeled "Under Consideration" and other values.  I'd recommend reaching out to him to see how priorities are placed. ... View more
