hard to believe NOAA actually said this...because a Survey Foot is not equal in length to a US Foot or International Foot. Over long distances the difference can be significant. Just saying this does not magically update all 225 years of historic records.         ... View more

Most likely you are running out of memory while the new imagery is being integrated into the mosaic.  If you checked your DEV environment, you will probably find it has 1/2 the memory of your production environment (especially if they used a default VM to create the server with 8 GB memory). Second thing to think about is how you are loading the new images, are they adjacent to each other or are you loading them 'randomly' over the mosaic area. Why? If you load 9 adjacent images, then then we only need to load the tiles that overlap the new imagery to update them. Otherwise, we may need to load the entire set (e.g., if you loaded one new image at the bottom left and another on the top right of your mosaic then the entire mosaic will need to be read at some point to update the mosaic). ...

to start the discussion, the Aggregate Polygons license information is as follows: Basic: No Standard: No Advanced: Yes To recreate this yourself you could use the Geoprocessing  tool - Generate Near Table. For each input feature you will get a distance and bearing to the 'near features' out to your selected distance. The results will show you the polygons candidates for merge. The closest thing to aggregate polygons is the Editing tool Modify/Merge Features that allow you combine two or move selected features.  You could use the Table generated by the 1st command to select candidate polygons, then activate the Merge/Modify Feature tool, save, then move to next candidate. ...

If you get to the point where it starts writing data, it can take a long time (days) if you are reading and writing on the same disk. Ensure you are reading and writing results from/to different disks to avoid 'race' conditions.  ... View more

well, Lidar derived elevations are originally referenced to a Geoid elevation or NAVD88. Those elevations are in reference to a fixed geoid model, while MLW and MLLW are not. Translation to tidal datums should be done based on the published survey data for a specific tidal station (s). See tidal.gif (880×680) for reference. ... View more

If it is 'back' for ArcGIS Pro I would check the shortcut again since a ArcGIS Pro upgrade (3.4. to 3.5) or a Service Pack install could have replaced the shortcut itself. In Task manager you can see if Pro is running in Efficiency mode (it will show the green leaf if it is).   ... View more

There is option to SET the output cell sizes vs. letting it default. Notice 1 row and column was added, most likely the projection being used has rotation causing these to be added. ... View more

ArcGIS Pro 3.4 change the default driver from DirectX 11 to DirectX 12. Ways to resolve are to (1) ensure you have the newest DirectX 12 graphics driver, (2) change default back to DirectX 11, or (3) change default to OpenGL. Graphic card options can be set in Pro's options->display tab. ... View more

A good option would be Microsoft SQL Server Express or Microsoft SQL Server Local DB. Both support standard T-SQL and one or more databases (on Express) with no licensing costs.  It has some limitations, such as a maximum database size of 10 GB and support for only 1 GB of memory and 1 physical processor.  Use Microsoft SQL Server Manager to manage your database.   Links: Download Microsoft® SQL Server® 2022 Express from Official Microsoft Download Center ...

just and FYI, adobe remembers your last settings. So if you use a Adobe driver 'outside of ArcGIS Pro' for printing those settings may carry over into ArcGIS Pro (or ArcMap).  ... View more

key here being, .NET Desktop Runtime version 8.0.19 or higher within the v8 family. Each .Net major version change is a breaking change for ArcGIS Pro. ... View more

Most users should not have Admin permissions on their computers.  We enforce install as allusers=true to prevent this -otherwise different users can install ArcGIS Pro with different versions on the same machine. Allowing individual installs makes it near impossible to do managed deployments. Just me, but since I have IT support with Software Center and Intune Company Portal available, I never would enable or use ESRI's or AGOLs software auto-download/update function for ArcGIS Pro.  ...
