The consistent offset you are seeing is often a result in (1) wrong datum selected (WGS80, NAD83, NAD27) or (2) error in the source layer you digitized 'from' (i.e., all data in GIS has an error, even fancy imagery from ESRI). Since you say you are a novice, I would ask how did you MAP the plots? Did you use a GPS device to map the boundary or did you just use editing tools in ArcGIS Pro to map the plot locations from air photography of some sort. Why is this important? If you used GPS you need to know the DATUM that your receiver used when you collected the data. This is a key parameter used when initially defining the coordinate system used for the feature layer. Secondly, if you digitized the boundaries from air photography/orthomosiac in ArcGIS Pro, then a similar question arises about the datum/coordinate systems used in the photography. Last thought, unless you used a submeter GPS device to collect the plot locations you should not expect plots to align 'perfectly' with any 'free' imagery provided by ESRI (since the free imagery has error as well). You need to identify 'which' layer has the best accuracy and compare everything 'else' to that.

You question was about a 'legacy version of Pro - specifically version 3.2'; I assume you are trying to upgrade an old customization from 3.1 or below. I was just pointing out that there was a breaking .Net Framework version change with Pro 3.2; it uses Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime (x64) 6.0.x or a later version in the 6.x series. Support for .NET Desktop Runtime (x64) 6.0.x ended on November 12, 2024. Current Pro versions use v8.0.x.

Recall that Pro 3.2 introduced a new version of .Net Framework for Desktop, ensure you have the required version loaded prior to installing Pro 3.2

To obtain an index result range of -1 to 1 the results have to be normalized or the equation itself setup to return the result in a -1 to 1 range. The equation does contain constraints to ensure this happens. That means the input bands are assumed to be normalized prior to use. See Dan's comments on how to do that.

Currently there are few tools to determine Pro usage for Named Users within AGOL or to monitor ArcGIS Pro license usage based on subscription type. As we move to Named User from Concurrent Use licensing this limits the ability of site administrators to manage subscription allocation. In the AGOL Licenses tab on the main screen there is a ‘View License Activity’ button that shows when a user with a Pro entitlement last used Pro. This also works for Creator subscriptions who do not explicitly have a Pro Basic entitlement assigned. However, this screen needs to be updated allow site admins to use the screen to manager their environment. Specifically, the Activity screen (see attached) needs to be enhanced as follows: Place current list in a table format to allow Sort By functionality for ‘User’ and ‘Pro Last Used’ column Add Export to CSV or Excel option (item 1 would also allow cut and paste from the table to Excel, making this item redundant). A column needs to be added to indicate the type of license being pulled (Basic, Standard/Professional, Advanced/Professional Plus). A column should be added indicating Frequency of Use (e.g., a running count since Pro was provisioned to the user)

You are specifically looking for a militarily sensitive location. Many organizations redact high resolution data for military bases and similar sensitive sites, especially for friendly nations (recall that ESRI is a US Company). However, you are correct, ESRI should share their policy on this so researchers understand what they are seeing. 8 Ethical Considerations in Using Satellite Imagery That Balance Privacy & Progress - Map Library

Take a look at setting the ARCTMPDIR Environment Variable (or resetting the TEMP variable, which may already exist on most Windows machines). If not set temp files are saved to your default Windows User Profile Location. Support for this var was ported from ArcMap and first implemented in ArcGIS Pro at version 3.1. For details see How To: Redirect Where ArcGIS pro Writes Temporary or Scratch Files during Processing.

Doe your SYSTEM account running the job have access to 'in \Dev\Repos\UpdateFeatureClass\clsUpdate.cs'? these failures are usually permission related.

It really sounds like you're missing the Coordinate Systems Data required to do on-the-fly transformations of the data to another datum. Install the ArcGIS Coordinate Systems Data installer package to test this. Also, in ArcGIS Pro ensure you have a transformation setup for your map containing the HillShade.

You are correct, by default DeepLearning tools will default to your current project location and locations set by your Environment variables. It is important to consider disk drive space and location to read or write files to speed up the training process. For example, I recommend always setting the output file location to a different DRIVE than the Source location for your learning chips/training samples. Secondly, remember training can take hours if not days, so anything you can do to speed up the process should be considered.

If your licensing ArcGIS Pro through ArcGIS Online, or you want AI Assistants enabled in AGOL itself (e.g.,, in Survey 123 survey builder) you need to turn on the AI support within the AGOL Admin settings screen. This is done by a site admin.

Have you opened a bug/support case with ESRI on this? Some one needs to 😉

Have you tried loading the CoordinateSystemsData for ArcGIS Pro? These are needed if you did a per user install vs. per machine. [cid:[email protected]]

Short answer is this is a standard Lambert Conformal Conic Projection. GRS 1980 is equivalent to WGS84 for most purposes (1 meter accuracy). This projection is centered on Canada at 95 Degrees West Longitude. In this case, values are in Meters. The standard parallels, red dots on the map, define the area of interest.
