OK I'll try strip out larger data sets to reduce the Packaged project file size. I'll make sure the problem still exists, then I'll email it over. Thanks! Theo ... View more

OK good to know that you can use SHIFT when selecting multiple feature classes. Yes eventually I plan on migrating the business over to using File Geodatabases, but for now I'm handling a lot of shapefile data (format I received it in). On a side note, I always found large shapefiles draw faster in ArcMap at least. Perhaps this isn't still the case in later releases of ArcGIS Pro...? ... View more

Yes I've already saved the final layout as a Layout file. If I try to load it into another project, it crashes ArcGIS Pro. Leads to: (Can't send error report as it's too large). I've saved the .dmp file though. I've also noticed on the Layout tab of the 'problem' project, hardly any map elements are moveable or editable. I've inserted a few light images, text boxes, a legend, drawn some circles. But all I'm seeing in the layout contents pane is the Map Frame and one single rectangle... What's causing this loss of editability? In Map Frame are the map layers. No layout elements... Theo ... View more

Yes, when zoomed out and trying to Flash a tiny shape, it's impossible in Pro to see where the flash occurs. In ArcMap, crosshairs would appear on the screen pinpointing exactly where the shape is on the map. In Pro, the flash is ok when zoomed in, but from a distance is useless. ... View more

Hi Jeff, Blank project created, inserted map, added simple polygon shapefile, inserted layout and added map frame: Create a spatial map series (changed name, sort, and extent settings only): Result: Saved As a new project 'ESRI_case', closed. Reopened and Map Series had saved with all settings intact! Hmmm, let me add a Page Query to the polygon layer (as I have in my original project): Saved, close, reopened> the settings were retained and Map Series was still active. How strange... I then tried adding another layout to the 'ESRI case' project as my original had 2 layouts in it. Map Series setting still there after reopening. Something else is going on then... ... View more

Thanks but I haven't found that to be the case. Yes, the first layer you select will go to the bottom, but every layer in between will encounter the issue I originally described. My original result: F, E, D, C, B, A My intention: A, B, C, D, E, F actual result from selecting from bottom up: E, D, C, B, A, F To replicate: Open blank Pro project, Insert Map tab. Add Data>>>browse to folder containing shapefiles>>>Click the last shapefile: Hold shift and click on the shapefile I want to be at the top of the list in the TOC: Click OK to add: UPDATE! (found this after I wrote the above!): However, on the Add Data page, if you Select the bottom layer and hold CTRL (instead of SHIFT), you can manually click one by one on each layer until you get to the file you want at the top. This will add the files into the TOC in the order you want: But say you had 100 shapefiles to add, this would mean clicking 100 times just to add a folder of data...! Can we both agree this is an issue? Theo ... View more

OK project finally packaged into .ppkx 1.59 GB in size! I can try recreate the issue in a new project with minimal data in it... ... View more

Ok will do. Although my project contains sensitive data, so I'll strip that out, test it, then send as a package... Theo ... View more

Excellent, thank you. ... View more

Thanks for the reply. I want ArcMap because I'm skilled in that program and am trying to rebuild some complex mapping projects this week. I don't have time to invest in learning Pro. Not yet at least! ... View more
