Once solution would be for ESRI to publish the styles for Pro to AGOL and have them available 'from the web' similar to how you can get images from Microsoft Word (Insert ribbon, Pictures group, Stock Images) . This would be connected on the Appearance Ribbon tab | Drawing Group, Import Symbiology. ... View more

probably, but then we would have to have all our users login to their organizational account in ArcGIS Pro and ensure all +500 staff actually have a account.  Since we only have 150 AGOL accounts that is a problem 🙂 ... View more

Nice, but an organization would want to modify the install package so this was set automatically. One can't assume 2 or more users are going to do anything the same way (or follow directions). Any idea if these settings get saved in the registry? ... View more

It was fairly easy in ArcGIS Pro 2.4.x and prior because if you place a map template at C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\Resources\ProjectTemplates it was shown in the list of default templates on ArcGIS Pro startup (project selection screen).   With ArcGIS Pro 2.6 they took this capability away 😞     ...

Any insight on how ArcGIS Pro 2.6+ is behaving with Microsoft Office 365 for Enterprise? To me it appears that ArcGIS Pro does not recognized that version of Office. When Office 365 is used Pro acts like NO office components are available.   ... View more

This is still an ongoing issue. Of note for ArcGIS Pro 2.4.x and earlier,  ESRI recommended 32 bit drivers. With Pro 2.6 and above the driver has to match the bitness of Microsoft Office that  you have installed. That being stated, our organization has moved to Office 365 (64 bit) and ArcGIS Pro and ArcMap does not recognized that 'any' version of Office is installed.    newest Microsoft Access Engine 2016 components are available at: Download Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 Redistributable from Official Microsoft Download Center Any ideas on enabling Excel files with ArcGIS Pro 2.6+ with Office 365 would be welcome.   ...

Note - Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 is now the preferred option to address this issue. The bitness you install should match the version of Office you have loaded (i.e., if you have 32 bit Microsoft Office use 32 bit engine; if you have 64 bit Office, use 64 bit engine).  ... View more

Agree - Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 now the preferred option to address this issue. The bitness you install should match the version of Office you have loaded (i.e., if you have 32 bit Microsoft Office use 32 bit engine; if you have 64 bit Office, use 64 bit engine).  ... View more

State Plane Coordinate System of 2022 is approaching. What is ESRI's plan to upgrade the Map Projection engines to handle them? ... View more

This fix should be posted as a new thread so those with ArcGIS Pro 2.5 can find it 🙂 "delete C:/users/<your user id>/AppData/Roaming/Esri/AcrGISPro folder and let Pro create a new one." arcgispro 2.5‌ ... View more

I had the this same error, in my case I fixed the issue by making my method public. public static async void LoadNewProject(CreateProjectSettings ps2) { //load the newly defined project; must be public to avoid threading errors! try { Project thePrj = await Project.CreateAsync(ps2); await Project.OpenAsync(thePrj.URI.ToString()); } catch (Exception eX) { //do something TrackErrorLibrary.reportError("SystemError", Project.Current.Name.ToString() + ".

The key is that when you create your code is that many of your commands are asyn. This means they need to be in a async method and the method has to be public to avoid CalledOnWrongThreadException. For example, you could have a call in your 'regular' synchronous code to LoadTemplateProject, that then calls your async method. public static void LoadTemplateProject(string myTemplatePath) //Load the requested map template var projectFolder = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments).ToString() + @"\ArcGIS\Projects"; CreateProjectSettings ps = new CreateProjectSettings() { CreateNewProjectFolder = true, LocationPath = projectFolder, TemplatePath = myTemplatePath, TemplateType = TemplateType.LocalScene }; LoadNewProject(ps); } public static async void LoadNewProject(CreateProjectSettings ps2) { //load the newly defined project; must be public to avoid threading errors! try    {    Project thePrj = await Project.CreateAsync(ps2);    await Project.OpenAsync(thePrj.URI.ToString());    } catch (Exception eX)    {    MessageBox.Show(eX.Message);    } } ...

How can this be marked as the correct answer when it does not answer the question? none of the Pro Snippiest show create a new map definition, add it to the current project, and make it the active map. ... View more
