Use Case: Find municipalities that have a riding that extends beyond the municipal boundary/overlaps another municipality. Municipalities: https://geohub.lio.gov.on.ca/datasets/lio::municipal-boundary-lower-and-single-tier/about  Ridings: https://www.elections.on.ca/en/voting-in-ontario/electoral-district-shapefiles.html  Hint: Do a negative 500m buffer so that slight overlaps are ignored by geoprocessing tools. Examples: Toronto, Ajax, and Whitby are not examples of municipalities that meet this criteria. But most other municipalities do meet this criteria. The green labels pertain to the municipalities, not the ridings. Idea: A single geoprocessing tool that would output a copy of the Municipalities layer, but would have a column that indicates if any of the overlapping ridings touch any other municipalities. Right now, I am using a multi-step process with multiple spatial joins that is overly complicated. ... View more

Edited. I have a municipality FC and a riding FC. The spatial relationship of the data is one-to-many: one municipality intersects many ridings. I want to do a one-to-many spatial join (a row for each intersecting riding), but I want a column in the output that indicates the Join_Count_Per_Group; I want each row to indicate how many ridings there are per municipality. All within a single geoprocessing operation. Currently, with one-to-many spatial joins, the Join_Count field is set to 1 (or zero?) for every row. ... View more

ArcGIS Pro 3.4.3 Using Select By Location, I want to select polygons from a FC that intersect multiple polygons in a different FC. I want to use Select By Location for this because it is efficient to use and doesn't output copies of the data. ... View more

I have a 4-band ortho with near infrared in the fourth band. I've used the fourth band as red. I know from being on site that there is a creek at the yellow line and some standing water at the white line. And I can see it in the ortho, too. Using a raster function, I want to highlight the known waterbodies, as well as other unknown waterbodies, in a bright colour. I've tried using the NDVI raster function, but none of the NDVI options highlight the water. Only the vegetation seems to be pronounced in the output NDVI layers. Can a raster function be added that can highlight water in a bright colour? I can send the .tif ortho file to Esri staff in a private message or email if needed.       ... View more

I've opened the Go To XY toolbar via the Map ribbon tab. I've done some work in other ribbon toolbars, and now I want to close Go To XY. Intuitively, I'd click somewhere on the Go To XY toolbar to close it, such as right-click the minimize button > close or by clicking an X button. I find myself right-clicking the toolbar in various places, trying to close it, but that doesn't seem possible. It's surprisingly frustrating. Instead of closing the toolbar from the Map ribbon tab by un-clicking the Go To XY ribbon button, which I often forget about, could an option be added to close the Go To XY toolbar directly from the toolbar?   ...

ArcGIS Pro 3.5.0 I've added a FGDB raster to my map from the Catalog pane. The raster is large, so it takes over a minute to be added to the map. Pro is unusable while it's thinking in the background. Idea: I don't need to see this layer yet in the map. Let me add it to the map in the "turned off" state so I don't have to wait for it to load. I'm aware I can pause the map. I don't want to pause the whole map, add the layer, turn off the layer, and then reload the whole map again. That's unnecessarily slow. ... View more
