After some checking, it looks like the 'AddInContent' Build Action for icons (or png files) in Pro AddIn is now just 'Content'.     Of note, in your config.daml you have the 'stub path' to the icon in the Image tag like so: <Image>Images\diamond_blue_32bit.png</Image>    If your icon is still not showing, then add the .\images folder to your Add-In file structure and add the icons or pngs you want to display. ...

Several Service Packs were just released for ArcGIS Pro 3.3, 3.4. and 3.5 that addressed a BUG where 'locks' on geodatabases were not being removed. This may be causing your issue. To test, have you tried giving the output FC a different name, then renaming the FC afterwords. ... View more

ESRI just released SP 6 for ArcGIS Pro 3.3, it has several bug fixes related to 'ArcGIS Pro grays out when...'. Recommend you give it a try. ... View more

Define Projection is not the same as the Project Command. The fact the development team does not know this is problematic for a GIS software company. This needs to be escalated and ALSO submitted as an 'Idea' for new development. Having a Define Projection Tool within ArcGIS Pro that does not actually allow you to define a project is by its very nature a BUG. Failure of their design team to understand GIS workflows should not be a reason to refuse to implement a basic feature of ArcInfo, ArcView, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Pro. Geographic data is provided by many organizations without proper supporting projection files (i.e. prj files). This often happens during GPS data collection and integration with other providers such as multiband raster data, AutoCad and Bentley Products. That is why Define Project exists. ... View more

If we are talking about a classic ArcSDE type of Geodatabase that lives on a server, defining the projection details is part of creating the database itself. AFTER the database is created one loads or adds Feature Classes and tables to the database. Perhaps that is the issue here, you are talking geodatabase creation vs. Feature Class? Workflow could be create empty Geodatabase with the desired end-state parameters, then prepare your feature classes as desired then import or do a Project command with the Geodatabase as the output folder to transform the FC's into the desired projection definition.  ...

If the ArcGIS Pro version is in General Availability phase, then all significant bugs should be addressed per Esri Product Life Cycle Policy dated January 2025. A field calculation error that can result in data corruption is a big deal and will be addressed in all versions of the application currently under support. In this case this error (BUG-000176644) was introduced with ArcGIS Pro 3.5 and addressed with SP 1. the error does not exist in ArcGIS Pro 3.3 or 3.4. Software patches or hot fixes o Provided to customers to resolve significant issues discovered in the product release. • New environment certification o When a major new version of an environment is released during the General Availability phase of an Esri product, Esri will test this new environment with the Esri software product in its General Availability phase and provide updated system requirements. ...

ArcGIS Pro supports different python containers (see DeepLearning with ArcGIS Pro discussions re: cloned environment of ArcGIS Pro's default environment,).  The scripts would need to be explicitly told what container they should run in. Sounds like when you load a Raster the Spatial Analyst extension is being, for lack of a better word, Turned-On. This is (re)setting the _conda_ python path back to the default used by SA. See - Install and Setup | ArcGIS API for Python   *By default, ArcGIS Pro has a single conda environment, arcgispro-py3, which includes all Python libraries used by ArcGIS Pro as well as several others, such as scipy and pandas. Enviornments can be activated in Pro via File | Package Manager.  I don't know how to do this in C#, but you need to replicate this Activated logic to swith between your Python scripts. ...

Also, think about where on the network your Geodatabase is being saved. Recall that Geodatabases on OneDrive 'are not supported by ESRI'. The data transfer delay associated with OneDrive and other Cloude storage solutions dependent on network traffic (and any dropped packets) from your desk all the way to the server in (wherever that is at ;-). ...

Step 1. Have someone who has never logged into the computer with the problem (i.e., crash when project open)  login, navigate to the project, and open the project with noissues? If the answer is YES, then the issue is with the Frist user's profile. Delete the folder C:\Users\<user id of the person with the problem>\AppData\Local\ESRI\ArcGISPro; reboot and have them try again. Step 2. IF the new person and the old person have the same issue (project crashes ArcGIS Pro) then we know where the problem is...don't we? ;-). Most likely the project is trying to connect to a 'partially' unreachable Feature class OR references a printer that is a hung state. In both cases ArcGIS Pro can 'find' the FC or Printer, but cannot communicate past that point.   Step 3. to see if your project file is the actual culprit - Re: how to restore a corrupt arcgis pro aprx - Esri Community  ...

What Field are you joining on? Matches have to be exact so even an extra space within a text field would make a difference (i.e., 'this' is not equal to 'this '). One option would be to do the import table command in Pro then join that vs. using a .csv directly.  ... View more

Selim, Since your update version tool is IN the post build event, then the Version # in the actual build will NOT contain that new number, rather it will be the version # of the last run. Post build is for such things as copying Solutions to an external location. In my case, we need a new <date> for the build updated before VS Build executes.  ArcGIS Pro uses that date to determine if the AssemblyCache gets updated. If you never change the <date> then ArcGIS Pro will not automatically update the cache (i.e., you will have to manually delete it).     ... View more
