I am going to start to upgrade the annotations in our databases and have some troubles, questions and concerns. 1. I read this in the documentation. "Feature classes in the same feature dataset as the ArcGIS Pro annotation are also read-only in ArcMap." So if I upgrade the annotation in our parcel fabric dataset, all points, lines, and polygons feature classes within that dataset will be uneditable in ArcMap? 2. Currently in Pro we cannot Publish Services to ArcGIS Server. So if we upgrade our Annotation, this annotation cannot be published? Can this be done in Python instead then? Did I read correctly that Publishing Services to Server in Pro will be possible in 2.4 as long as we are on Server 10.6.1? 3. Once upgrade is there anyway to export or make a copy of the annotation to be viewed in ArcMap? Just in case we edited a bunch of the upgraded annotation and later find that Pro is not going to work for us yet. If not is this something in the works for later releases? 4. I tried running this script in both the Old Catalog and within Pro and got these errors. I was testing it on a File Geodatabase before I use it on the sde database. None of my feature classes are empty. Script: import arcpy arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/temp/JFKSCopy/JFKS_Copy.gdb" arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True featClass = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses("","Annotation") for row in featClass: output = row + "_Pro" copy = arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(row, output) for rows in copy: arcpy.UpgradeDataset_management(rows)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Catalog error: Runtime error Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 5, in <module> File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.5\arcpy\arcpy\management.py", line 5645, in UpgradeDataset raise e ExecuteError: ERROR 001267: Dataset type does not support upgrade.

Did you ever figure out any good settings? Everything I have tried the color is terrible. Hopefully the camera will be added to the next version.

Currently there is no Cut Polygon Tool for Pro and you have to use Split or Divide. The problem with Split or Divide is the attributes are constrained by the domain split policy. The default for this is to NOT duplicate the attributes. So when you use the Split tool you lose of all your attributes as a default. ArcMap users never had to worry about this because the Cut Polygon Tool was mostly used and it keeps your attributes, it is not constrained by the domain split policy. The Split in ArcMap was only for those with Advanced licenses. If you have a lot of databases with domains you now need to go and change the domain split policy for every feature you want to keep the attributes when you split.

Thanks. I guess my confusion is when I edit in ArcMap this behavior does not happen. Well I guess more importantly can we get a Cut tool for Pro? So if we have something like over 50 databases with hundreds of features now we have to go through them all and change every single one? Or do I only need to worry about the ones which have domains? This was not an issue with the Map Cut Tool. Split was only available in Map with an Advanced license and a majority of users used Polygon Cut as there main editing tool, which is not available in Pro I don't think. It even looks like the Divide tool is constrained by the domain split policy. We need a tool which can Cut which does not have this constraint. https://community.esri.com/ideas/16837-cut-polygon-tool-for-pro

Kory Kramer‌ I would also like to know if this is a bug and not to be the expected behavior in future versions.

In my first reply in this thread is an example. I used XLSForms to design my survey. Check out ESRI Training, there are a lot of good classes.

Embed it as a hyperlink including all the parameters you want to pass to Survey123 into the popup. We have a crew that collects location data and need to answer extra questions that do not need to be a part of the feature. I use this information in Survey123 to create custom made reports with information required for other agencies.

It looks like the section "Specifying Custom Parameters" is new in the latest documentation and not found in 10.3, perhaps a clue in the Notes section. http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/map/web-maps-and-services/using-wms-service-layers.htm

If I put full the URL in Pro and Desktopn I get Error: Unspecified error. In ArcGIS Online it loads and goes to the area but is blank.

In your first link you have https://server In the second on there is https://gisimg.co.dakota.mn.us I entered both of these and both worked: https://gisimg.co.dakota.mn.us/arcgis/services/AerialPhotography/2016AirPhotoLeafOff6Inch/ImageServer/WMSServer? https://gisimg.co.dakota.mn.us/arcgis/services/AerialPhotography/2017AirPhotoLeafOff6Inch/ImageServer/WMSServer?

Here is a strange one for you Pro developers. I recently set up an Accelerator of Shift+W to open the width part of drawing a rectangle. Now I cannot add a capital W to my attributes using Shift+W.

Well that is odd because I do have the latest version installed 3.3.64, I made sure that was the first thing I did. So I am not sure why it would be opening an earlier version, but I did just confirm that is what it is doing. So what was happening Collector was, unknowingly to me, opening the earlier version which failed to send, then I would open the latest version from my desktop shortcut and it would send. I figured it would delete the older version when installing the latest like every other software. I did have to uninstall both versions and reinstall the latest, but can confirm this did fix the issue. Thank you for the help.

Not sure off the top of my head. The path is in the link of my last comment. The style file is probably called ESRI or ESRI North Arrows or something like that. You can also save it to a new style file and just use that.

‎05-16-2019

You can import them. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/projects/connect-to-a-style.htm If you have ArcMap installed, you can import any of the styles included in that install to the ArcGIS Pro format.

James, Attached are the logs from 2 machines. If I had survey123 pre-opened the survey submits, so both examples are with the second option. I can confirm all fields passed over correctly, but I went ahead and fixed the space before I ran the logs. It is only when I launch survey123 from a collector hyperlink, the only thing that fails is sending the survey. I can close survey123 and launch it from windows and go back in and send it. Also now I know if survey123 is already opened it sends, so at least this is an acceptable work around!
