In the Select By Attributes window: In the WHERE clause UI, I can paste a value into a textbox using CTRL+V. But I can't paste using right-click >> Paste. The Paste button is greyed out. Could that behavior be changed so that right-click >> Paste would work? Thanks.   ArcGIS Pro 3.0.2       ... View more

When I'm working in the Layers tab in Symbology, I want to delete symbol levels from within that tab, by either: Right-clicking the layer >> Delete Or, selecting the level and hit the delete key on the keyboard As a new ArcGIS Pro user, I intuitively keep trying to do those things, since that's how applications are often designed. But of course, it's not working in this case. I'd need to go to the Structure tab, not the Layers tab, to delete a symbol layer.  I don't find that very intuitive. I think I should be able to delete symbol layers from the layers tab. Could ESRI consider adding that functionality? Thanks.   ArcGIS Pro 3.0.2   ... View more

Under normal circumstances, I can use my computer for several days at a time without it getting bogged down from open software. For example, I can have Google Chrome open, with ~50 tabs open, for days or weeks at a time, and not notice any performance problems from my computer. That's saying something, since Google Chrome is known to be a memory hog. But with ArcGIS Pro, I just barely get a full day of use before Pro bogs down my computer -- to the point where the computer is unusable and needs a restart (even after closing Pro). Could ArcGIS Pro be improved so that it doesn't eat up so much memory, requiring a restart? ArcGIS Pro 3.0.2; Windows 10 ... View more

If I make a simple symbology change, such as changing the symbol font size, it takes 13 seconds to for ArcGIS Pro to make the change.  ("Swamp" symbol)   13 seconds is too long. A simple setting change like that should happen instantly. Especially since the map display is paused. For reference, ArcMap symbology changes happened instantly. Could the performance be improved? Thanks.   ArcGIS Pro 3.0.2 ... View more

In a layer's symbology, I've changed a setting in a textbox (the Dash template setting): In order to apply the change, I need to click outside of the text box in order to remove focus from that textbox (aka stop editing the textbox). Otherwise, I can't hit Apply to save the changes; the Apply button is greyed-out. That's annoying. Could that behavior be changed?  Thanks.   ArcGIS Pro 3.0.2 ... View more

I have a Logging Roads layer. When defining the symbology, I want to use the symbol from an existing Trails layer. If I understand correctly, there isn't an easy way to do that. (I don't want to save a symbol style to a file, or anything like that.) Could functionality be added for applying symbology from one layer to another? Thanks.   ArcGIS Pro 3.0.2 ... View more

Could a button be added to the Symbology pane to reset a layer's symbology to the default symbol?  I don't want to remove and re-add layers to reset the symbology, since I would lose my definition query, join, and other layer settings.  Related: Reset layer symbology Thanks.   ArcGIS Pro 3.0.2 ...

As a new ArcGIS Pro user, I would benefit from a button in the Primary Symbology window that brings me to the Gallery/Properties window. Go from here: To here:   After some frustration, I figured out that it can be achieved by clicking the symbol in the Table of Contents left pane:   But that was unintuitive to me. I don't understand why I couldn't navigate directly from the Primary Symbology window to the Gallery/Properties window -- via a button right in the Primary Symbology window. Could the UI be improved to make it more intuitive for new users?   Thanks.   ArcGIS Pro 3.0.2 ... View more

In ArcGIS Pro 3.0.2: Is there a way to reset a layer's symbology to get the default symbol settings?  Without removing and re-adding the layer, since I would lose my definition query, join, and other settings.  Thanks. ... View more

I have a wetland polygon FGDB FC in ArcGIS Pro 3.0.2. I want to symbolize the polygons as wetland plant symbols (no solid fill). Like this:  (source: Land Information Ontario topographic tiles -- in provincial web maps like CLUPA) How can I use or create a symbol like that? I'm new to symbology in ArcGIS Pro. For other layers, I've seen a Gallery tab. But I don't see that option for this layer. ... View more

I've seen LIO (Land information Ontario) Topographic tiles used in various Ontario government web maps, such as the Crown Land Use Policy Atlas web map: I want to use those topo maps as a base layer in ArcGIS Pro 3.0.2. I'm aware that ArcGIS Pro has ESRI topographic base maps included OOTB. But in this case, the LIO Topographic maps are better suited to my purposes. I looked at Ontario GeoHub: https://geohub.lio.gov.on.ca/search?q=topographic. But I don't see downloadable topo tiles anywhere.  I'd prefer to use the pre-built tiles rather than symbolize the vector topographic data that's available on GeoHub (and the vector data would be slower than raster tiles too, so raster tiles would be preferred). Is there a way to use the LIO Topographic tiles in ArcGIS Pro? Either as downloadable files or as a web service? Thanks. ... View more
