I am packaging a project to a file in PRO.  But the packaging is failing. I analyse the project before packaging and it does not turn up any errors.  The packaging process runs fine for about 6 minutes and then I get a message "failed to package". The message log says "the database was not found".  I am unsure what database the error is referring to so am not sure how to move forward.  It's a bit vague.   I have gone through all my maps and everything seems in order. Is anyone familiar with this problem and how to move forward? **EDIT**  I have tried to "Upload package to Online account" rather than save as a file.  I also eliminated layers, one by one, to determine if there was a bad file that impeded the packaging.  These did not yield any positive outcomes.  I am still getting a failed message. ...

When I update and save an xlsx sheet, the changes are not reflected in Arc GIS PRO.  Does anyone else have this problem?  Has anyone  found a specific method to making the changes reflect? I usually have to turn off PRO and then restart the program for the changes to be reflected.  That said, recently I noticed that even turning off the software and restarting that the changes don't reflect in PRO. Please note, I make the change in excel.  I save the file.  I close Excel.   In PRO I remove the old sheet from the Contents pane and refresh the homefile the spreadsheet is in.  I also refresh the folder the spreadsheet is in.  And I do this in a variety of order.   It also seems that just being patient does not work. I have had this problem for many PRO versions and currently am running 2.5.0 ... View more

In PRO, I have annotated my roadsign labels in order to duplicate labels and ensure better placement than the Maplex Label Engine placement provides. Now, I need to resize the symbols as they are too big, as you can see above. Is there a way to resize annotated labels like the one above?  Or do I have alter and reannotate (multiple times) before getting the ideal size, number of signs, and best placement? ... View more

I am trying to create a table in Desktop - layout view.  I'm using the Insert - Object - Microsoft Excel Worksheet options. I'm able to create a nice - crisp table of data just fine.  I would like to have each line alternate in a yellow highlight to make things easier to locate.  This works just fine when creating, and adding to my map. The problem lies in trying to export the map to a printable format.  (For one reason or another, I can not print my map as a large poster straight from the .mxd.  However, I was able to print a small version, and the highlighting prints out just fine.) When I save the layout image as a .jpeg, .png, or a .pdf, the table background (that I set in my excel spreadsheet as alternating lines of white and yellow) shows as transparent.  I was able to set the background as white, to eliminate the transparency, by right clicking on the table, Properties - Frame - Background set as white.  However, I would like to keep the alternating yellow highlighting that I can assign in the Excel file, and that also appears on the layout view. Any suggestions? ... View more
