The Create Fishnet geoprocessing tool is great for producing grid feature classes. One thing I find that it lacks is a resolution parameter. With this parameter there will be intermediate vertices added to the polyline or polygon so that it doesn't look so blocky when a projected spatial reference is used for the map. As an example I have created a 10 degree x 10 degree grid for North America and then changed the map spatial reference to North Polar Stereographic. Because the grid doesn't have any intermediate vertices the feature class appears blocky. Using a resolution of say 0.1 degrees would introduce vertices within each feature so as to make it smoother. I think the logic to do this already exists in the Layout Grid function. If I go to my Layout and add a Grid and color it red you can see the difference. ... View more

I see many examples with QueuedTask.Run and am wondering when is the appropriate time to use it. In the examples below why would you want to wait for seemingly simple things like creating a spatial reference or creating a value array? Why is there a need to put these snippets in a QueuedTask.Run task? // example of using ArcGIS.Core.Geometry.SpatialReference objectvar spatial_ref = await QueuedTask.Run(() => { return SpatialReferenceBuilder.CreateSpatialReference(3857); });// call MakeValueArray on spatial_ref so that ExecuteToolAsync can internally use the objectvar sr_param = Geoprocessing.MakeValueArray(spatial_ref); var valueArray = await QueuedTask.Run(() => { var g = new List<object>() { geometry, }; // Creates a 8000-meter buffer around the geometry object // null indicates a default output name is used return Geoprocessing.MakeValueArray(g, null, @"8000 Meters"); }); ...

Went through the tutorial on building my first add-in for ArcGIS Pro. Two things I have a question about: 1. I typically change all my project's namespace to something like MyCompany.MyDepartment.AddInName. This seems to break my add-in. Is this supported and what changes would I need to make to my Config.daml to support the custom namespace? 2. I also change most default modules to something more intuitive. So I changed Module1 to MdlMyAddin. This also seems to break the add-in. Is this supported and what do I need to change in the Config.daml to support the custom module name? Abel ... View more
