Is there a way to export the quick access toolbar.  One thing I don't like about ArcPro is that it requires a lot of clicks to do things.  Less efficient.  The fact that toolbars no long exist is annoying because I recognize icons instead of clicking through menus to find what I need.  Thus, I added a bunch of tools/commands to the quick access toolbar, but it took a long time to create and I don't want to lose it.  I did this at my job where I have no control over updates or if they reinstall my software for some reason and would like to save it off somewhere so I can quickly reload it if it gets wiped out somehow.  Is there any way to do this? ...

I work for a big agency and some of us have ArcMap 10.8 and others still have 10.7. It is not an easy and quick process to upgrade those of us on the lower version so we have to save a copy as a lower version in order for those on 10.7 to be able to open the mxd's. Today we tried to do this and when any of us try to open the 10.7 version we get the following error pop up box (I cannot save a screen shot and upload it here bc my Arc is on a separate network with no internet access): "Opening the selected ArcMap document failed. The page layout of the map document could not be read. The data frames of the map document could not be read due to the following error: 0x80040111 (ClassFactory cannot supply requested class) The last successfully loaded component was: Unknown ProgID{[010F000-B6F8...]} (not sure if this is needed in it's entirety so not including all of it. Please let me know if it's needed to troubleshoot) The specified file does not contain a valid ArcMap document or was saved using a newer version of ArcGIS." This is the 10.7 mxd that we saved using "save a copy" and selected the "save as type" to be "ArcMap 10.7 Document". Does anyone have any idea why this could be happening? ... View more

I am using an abbreviation table to label the countries of the world. I have double checked that the correct field is being used to label the map and that attributes in the field match the keyword in the abbreviation table. I have also changed the label placement properties with the following settings checked: stacked label, reduce font size, abbreviate label, (with the following strategy order from top to bottom: stack label, abbreviate label, reduce label in size, compress label in width, overrun feature) I also have remove duplicates, label largest feature part, and never remove (place overlapping) check as well. The rest of the settings are the defaults, including the options of those settings that applies to (except the abbreviate label options of course where the abbreviation dictionary file is defined). For some reason, some of the abbreviations are not displaying correctly. For example, in the abbreviation dictionary I have North Korea abbreviated as N. Kor. however only the N. is being displayed on the map. Same is happening with South Korea. Sri Lanka is only showing Sri on the map when the abbreviation is set to be Sri Lan. I've tried playing around with the strategy order and the rest of the settings, but nothing seems to display the abbreviation in the dictionary. Does anyone know why this is happening and what I may have to change to get the labels in the abbreviation dictionary to display correctly? I cannot attach images because the system I am working on with Arc is not connected to the internet. ... View more
