I just took a canopy heights raster tif with classified symbology imported from a layer file in Pro and exported it to jp2 with both Use  renderer and forced RGB options checked.  The new raster came into Pro with the appropriate colored symbology although with just a bit of a color shift.  I then opened that exported jp2 in QGIS and it came in looking like the original CHM as symbolized; no color shift.  I usually use QGIS to create my rendered rasters exported to tif which has no RGB setting but apparently forces RGB on its own.  I noticed Pro showed the same slight color shift with a rendered tif export from QGIS, but there was no such color shift for either when viewed in QGIS.  So the Pro approach works fine as far as I could tell. ...

I use Pro more and more these days but for hard core editing I have to go back to ArcMap.  A huge part of this is my customizable toolbars that I can either float or dock and change the shape. ... View more

Just a note in passing, Geopackages are supported as static items in ArcGIS Online, so you can directly share them this way, and given valid geometry you can apply symbology from a layer file (for example). ... View more

Still happening in 2.3.2... guess I'm going back to ArcMap to make the slides I need at 16:9 ratio ... View more

You can get the color ramp back by again right clicking on the selected symbols after you've changed the symbol and choosing apply color scheme. ... View more

Aaron, How is editing going at SQL2014? Are you at SP1? Our organization is looking at moving to this soon. ... View more

If you are referring to the Compare Versions Arcscript I don't find anything on my current computers.  Sorry.  I recall using it at least once and I recall that it worked within expectations but I never used it thereafter. Most of the time I'm looking for spatial differences to correct or explain, so I simply put one layer in white over the other in red and visually errors just pop up.  Then I switch the symbology to do the same. Another couple of alternatives you might look at.  Feature compare is one. A simple union of the two layers works too, since in the area of overlap you will have attributes of both layers, and in areas of difference you will attributes of one or the other.  Or a simple Intersect and then use the resulting layer to block out the two input layers. ...

Without looking at your data, it's impossible to tell what the problem is.  As others have said, look very carefully at snapping, visibility and topology issues.  Also, simplify your editing environment - get rid of all layers and features to you do not need for this specific edit.  If necessary, copy all your 'background' features you want to trace into one layer and use this alone as a standalone single edit. As John Sobetzer​ said, you also do not need to complete the entire edit operation in one pass.  If you can that's great, if not, you might need to 'build up' the edit using a variety of smaller operations, possibly creating sub-parcels that you can later merge into your final shape. It's also worth mentioning that there's several ways of killing the proverbial cat without using cream (trace).  If your area is so small, I'd be looking at either overlaying a larger shape and using geometry operations to clip back to the edge you need, or a smaller one and using reshape edge to selected geometry if trace just isn't working.. ...

Many things can make an edited polygon disappear, such as layer definition or page definition queries, categorized symbology with no default checked, editing a selection created layer, etc.  If you can move your layer into a new project and things work, then either edit from the new project or look for something like the foregoing in the old.  Editing in a new project also gets around a corrupted original project.  I suppose another possibility is bad geometry.  Or if you don't wait long enough an incredibly slow redraw, might tie up your display or your perception of it. ...

Multipart to single part can be useful, but with my understanding you cannot specify records within a feature layer. I was looking for a solution to this same problem where I had about 5 or 6 records within my "landscaping" layer that I had merged at one point but now realize they should be separate. Multipart to single part would have ran across all of the records when I really only wanted to touch the 5 or 6. What I found to work (in arcpro 2.4.0) is the 'Explode' Tool within the Tools section of your edit tab. You might have to scroll down a few but this worked exactly how I was wanting. I hope this helps any who are still searching this thread.  ... View more

Sam, I can hardly read the screenshot you posted. Most forums, and this seems too, resize your screenshots to some predefined maximum allowable size. It is wise to stay below it, so as to prevent resizing, for example by selecting only the error window in an image editor (e.g. Windows Paint) and writing that to a file before attaching to a post. However, from what I see, it is clear that the Multiple Element Layout Manager (which I am not yet familiar with - is it some user submitted add-on for ArcGIS?), expects an extra field in your DDP index layer, if I read it right it must be named "pageNameTimID". You may be able to solve the issue by adding such a field, although it would be wise to consult the documentation, if any, to find out which fields, and their field types, are required for this application.
