Are you looking to do this in 2D (ArcMap) or 3D (ArcScene or ArcGIS Pro)?  If ArcMap, add the two layers to the Data Frame with the DEM the bottom layer.  You could create a Hillshade (Spatial Analyst extension) from the DEM for shaded relief.  Then add the temperature layer on top of the Hillshade and set a transparency of say 40%. ...

The snapping tool only works for geographic data not graphic data generated from the Draw Toolbar.  As mentioned above, you can convert graphics to features and then snap. ... View more

The workflow is that ArcGIS Pro's Project Pane will be used to manage one's geographic data.  With that said, keep in mind that ArcGIS Pro is not a complete product yet.   ArcGIS Pro 1.4 is scheduled to be released later this year and with that - the goal is ArcMap equivalency with regard to functionality.  For long time GIS users, when ArcMap 8.0 was released, it did not have the equivalency of ArcView 3.x - it took time.  It wasn't until 8.3 that I transitioned my company's workflows to ArcMap (wasn't working for Esri then). ...

Correct.  I would not be able to comment on the 2nd paragraph but I do know Esri Pro Staff are actively watching Pro discussions on GeoNet so there's a possibility they could respond.  If there is functionality missing in Pro such as the Catalog/ArcCatalog applications and its workflow in Pro, one suggestion is to add to the ArcGIS Ideas website for Pro.  Again, the Pro developers are actively watching/addressing these ideas as well. ...

David-you do bring up a good question that I get in my ArcGIS Pro classes and Technical Workshops all the time.  Is ArcMap/ArcCatalog going away?  And is ArcGIS Pro the replacement for ArcMap?  The short answer is no.  ArcMap/ArcCatalog will be with us for quite some time to come.  There will be an ArcMap 10.5.  There will be an ArcMap 10.6 (or will it be 11.0?)  The ArcGIS for Desktop deprecation schedule shows ArcMap 10.4.1 retired Feb 1, 2022.  With ArcMap 10.5 and later, those dates will be added as the software is released. Now with that said, Esri is investing/developing heavily into the ArcGIS Pro application.  The next release of Pro 1.4 will bring near ArcMap equivalency to the Pro application.  ArcMap is still in the development cycle for bug fixes, some updates, some new functionality.  But Pro is where the development is focused. ArcGIS Pro and ArcMap can run side by side on the same machine.  To my knowledge, there is no plan for a Pro "ArcCatalog" as Pro is the fusion of ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcScene, ArcGlobe, and City Engine Runtime. Esri understands that many of our customers cannot upgrade quickly to new technologies and value the ArcMap platform for many workflows.  As such there are no plans to discontinue ArcMap anytime soon.  ArcMap will be with us for years to come. Keep in mind, I'm an Esri instructor and am not privy to the inner details of development or corporate decision making.  This is based on my conversations with Esri Staff, some of whom are on the Pro Team. Hope this helps clarify. ... View more

Plus with the ArcGIS for Personal Use (Advanced license), you would be able to create a Desktop multiuser geodatabase using SQL Server Express as your RDBMS.  All administration is done in Catalog/ArcCatalog. ... View more

Hi David - if you downloaded (and purchased) ArcGIS for Personal Use from Esri, then you get everything listed here - http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgis-for-personal-use - which includes ArcGIS Pro.  ArcGIS Pro licensing requires a Named User which you do get with the Personal Use program.  If you're having a difficult time authorizing Pro, there is Installation Support with the purchase too. ...

A complete uninstall and reinstall of Pro might help.  Also, if you're on 1.3 of Pro, you may want to uninstall Python for Pro as well.  This was from 1.2 and earlier releases and is not needed for 1.3. ... View more

Hi Lesi - Okay - save your *.mxd out to a new *.mxd document file.  Import the new one into Pro.  Another option is to use the MXD Doctor located in the Start>All Programs>ArcGIS>Desktop Tools and see if there's an issue with the *.mxd itself. ... View more
