Hi Heather At this moment task variables can only be used as part of a field calculation. We are considering to expand this in the future Amir ... View more

The Copy and Paste commands in ArcGIS Pro are contextual. That means that if you Copy features the map must be in focus (highlighted) when you Paste them. The issue is that the focus returns to the Tasks pane when you press Run or Next. But... There is an easy workaround: use the geoprocessing tool Append (Data Management) to append the selected features into the target feature class. You might want to add a verification action to make sure there is a valid selection (more than one feature but less than X) - this way you will not append all the features if the selection is empty. ...

Currently there is no geoprocessing tool or a geoprocessing script tool that can do that. One idea that comes to mind is exporting all the control points (maybe this step can be skipped), then running the geoprocessing Near tool to find the points that are closest to the control and then the geoprocessing XY To Line to generate line feature classes. You can then import all the lines as connection lines using the geoprocessing Load a Topology to a Parcel Fabric. The last help links also covers importing connection lines:  The [Line feature class] Must Be Covered By Boundary Of [Polygon feature class] rule can be marked as an exception if the line is being migrated as a connection line or road centerline to the parcel fabric. Connection lines are lines that connect parcel points to control points or lines that connect blocks of parcels. If a line is being migrated as a connection line, there should be a Category field on the source lines attribute table and the category value should be set to 3 (for connection line). More help documentation can be found under Loading Road centerlines. The automatic creation of connection lines is on the product road map.   ... View more

Hello Bob Folsom, The missing functionality you have stated will be introduced to Pro in future releases as well as new functionality that never existed. This includes: Proportion Ground to Grid correction Basis of bearing correction Offset line Cul de sac COGO area Curve calculator More... Our goal is to make you and other map technicians that enter data from measurements on a daily basis more efficient by reducing mouse clicks and relying on a single hand to enter the data. We understand that it might take a while to get used to a more efficient methodology after working in ArcMap for so many years. If you are using the latest release of Pro you will find you can modify existing traverse and save your edits at any point of time. Run the geoprocessing tool "Enable COGO", then add the line feature class to your map and you get a symbology and labeling that is designed for COGO entry. It also allows you to perform arithmetic operations within the traverse grid. In the meantime please continue to provide feedback and enter new ideas for the missing functionality so everybody can vote on them. This helps the development team to prioritize the implementation schedule. ... View more

Hello All, We (Tasks development team) do plan to publish the tasks we uses in the technical workshop in the UC as well as other samples in the future. For the meantime, many esri solutions are making extensive use of tasks for different industries and functional areas that might relate to you. Here are a few:  Local Government 3D Basemaps Shadow Impact Analysis Opioid Awareness Maps Campus Viewer tools Military Overlay Military Aspects of Terrain For SDK (embedding your custom pane in tasks) - ArcGIS Solutions Deployment Tool ... You can also contact esri technical support for any question. Once you have a great task, it would be great if you use it to share your knowledge with others on ArcGIS Online. Amir ... View more

The COGO functionality in Pro (Traverse tool) is available in every license level. The type of geodatabase (file, enterprise) is one of the key factors to determine the needed license level. The ground to grid corrections functionality is also planned to available for all license levels and is key when precise measurements are used from ground values. ... View more

Thanks Jeff. Good catch - they should be consistent. This happens because some of the fields are controlled by the parcel fabric and the other by editor tracking (if activated). And like you - I don't know that it matters much, certainly does not justify a schema bump. Amir ... View more

Hello Sandie, You'll be happy to learn that the traverse functionality is not complete and that there is a "method to the madness". Beyond the learning curve involved with working with a new software / tool, we are driven by customer feedback and ideas. Our suggestion to use the construct polygon tool or geoprocesssing tools such as feature to Polygon" is an interim solution. If you start your traverse with a curve entry you will have to provide it an orientation (in the direction field). We also recommend that you run the geoprocessing tool "Enable COGO" on your line feature class and then add it to your map to make benefit of the helpful symbology - it helps both data entry and comparing the deed to the traverse. For simple traverse entry by "non GIS experts" you can also try (try it live) the web app called "Parcel Drafter". Thanks for your feedback. ... View more

Hi Matt, The curve begins from the last entered course, use the Curve Overrides which are in this help document topic (scroll down) and you will see the methods in which the orientation of the curve can be defined (tangent bearing / radial bearing / chord bearing...). Enter the appropriate bearing in the direction field. The topic is copy-pasted (might not be formatted as nicely as the help doc) below:: Curve overrides Curves described on a plat or plan may not conform to a single set of curve parameters, such as radius and arc length. In the traverse grid, you can override the Bearing, Radius, and curve parameter fields (Arc Length, Chord Length, and Delta Angle) using the following curve parameter overrides: Override Keystroke Use in grid field Example Tangent bearing tb or TB Bearing 41-56-06-4tb (using quadrant bearing) Radial bearing rb or RB Bearing 41-56-06rb (using quadrant bearing) Chord bearing cb or CB Bearing 41-56-06cb (using quadrant bearing) Chord length c or C Arc Length, Delta Angle 25.01c Delta (central angle) d or D Arc Length, Chord Length 90-59-59d Arc length A or a Chord Length, Delta Angle 25.01a ...

Hello Matt, You can already specify right and left curves by entering positive and negative radius values in the traverse grid. If you COGO enable your line feature class you will also get good default symbology and labels in Pro. Read the help documentation and you will find many enhancements that will make entering a traverse even faster, like: Tangency is assumed (default) Use '+' or '-' to enter a 90 degrees angle Use arithmetic operators when entering distance units, no need to pull out an old calculator Use shortcuts for quadrant bearings Much more...

With the release of the next generation of parcel management, Pro will have the capability to perform ground to grid correction as well as account for a different basis of bearing. The next release of ArcGIS Pro (2.1) will allow you to construct polygons from lines without having to retrace your lines. This is also be part of the core functionality of parcel management when it's released. Until then you can also use geoprocessing tools to generate polygons from selected lines. The traverse tool help document provides examples as well curve overrides for non tangent bearings (delta, chord etc.). Schedule: the parcel manager release date is kept up to date on the ArcGIS Pro Roadmap blog post. Thanks for communicating the gaps that prevent you from using ArcGIS Pro, Amir ... View more
