ArcGIS Pro 3.4.2 I don’t make formal maps with legends very often, but it seems to me it would be more useful for the raster value, such as elevation, be used as the default legend label, instead of the color bit number as the legend label. I could be missing something. I’m not a cartographer. How to symbolize & label Lidar raster layer in legend? What is 0-255?

@DanielFox1 Also, another idea: “Continuous raster symbology in map, but discrete color swatches as legend” Map: Legend: Image source: https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/388154/how-to-get-back-discrete-raster-legend-symbols-in-qgis-3-16 Does that idea make sense? Edit: @JesseWickizer Do you see any obvious issues with this draft idea before I post it publicly? Thanks.

Thanks. I’m planning to submit an idea: “Raster legend labels: Make raster values (like elevation) the default, not the color bit numbers”. Does that idea make sense? Like I mentioned, I’m rusty with rasters and cartography.

@DanielFox1 Thanks. Do you get the sense people usually leave rasters out of the legend, since the bit gradient isn’t very useful in terms if interpreting the map and knowing what a given raster color/value represents?

ArcGIS Pro 3.4.2 A while back, I made a map that had a greyscale Lidar DTM raster in it, and included the Lidar layer in the legend. When I look back at the map, I'm wondering if the 0-255 label in the legend is perhaps not very useful. Does 0-255 pertain to color values, not elevation values? Would it have better to somehow show what colors pertain to corresponding elevations? What's the proper way to show a Lidar raster in a legend? Or is it better to leave it out of the legend? It’s been roughly 10-15 years since I made a proper PDF map, so I’m rusty.

@JamesRains You could submit a separate idea for the search thing. It’d be more likely to get implemented that way.

ArcGIS Pro 3.4.2 Regarding Map Properties > Modify Projected Coordinate System: The dialog has a cancel button. But I think it would be more intuitive if it had an X in the top right corner of the dialog too.

ArcGIS Pro 3.4.2 Export Map > Save Preset > Location When typing the path, if the user hits enter, it should apply & close the dialog, not insert a line break into the path text. I don't think a line break has any use in this scenario.

ArcGIS Pro 3.4.2 I've created a layout, created a map frame, and activated the map frame. Now I want to zoom into the map using the right-click-drag zoom functionality. I'm working at a scale of 1:5,000. It's difficult to make fine-tune adjustments to the scale, such as from 5,000 to 5,315, using the mouse right-click-drag functionality. It's too sensitive; the scale changes too quickly. Could the mouse sensitivity be reduced in this case? I'm aware that I can manually enter a scale number using the keyboard. That works for large scale changes, but right-click-drag is preferred for fine tuning.

It would be similar to how the Map Properties > Rotation parameter works. Hit enter twice to apply.

ArcGIS Pro 3.4.2 Scenario: Manually adjust label class parameter value via typing with the keyboard, such as setting the Symbol > Callout > Line width to a decimal of 0.75 pt. Idea: After typing 0.75, hit the enter key once or twice to apply the change.

Thanks for your reply @JonathanNeal. we recommend persisting your data before you do analysis In other words, Esri recommends making a copy of the enterprise geodatabase data to a file geodatabase each time we use it. In my opinion, that’s not acceptable in the age of enterprise systems. But it sounds like we have no other option. Other than the obvious issues with copying the data to a FGDB, such as: working with out-of-date data, editing concurrent users version control, schema changes can’t directly use the data elsewhere, such as in Excel Idea: Access FGDB data dynamically from Excel …another issue (e.) is that FGDB SQL is too limited to be useful to us; I have many Esri posts on this topic. (And mobile geodatabases aren’t mature enough in Pro so are still buggy; FGDBs are generally known to be more reliable. Mobile geodatabases suffer from issues a-d above as well.) If copying EGDB data to an FGDB every time we use it is ESRI’s recommended workflow, then I think Esri has some work to do: address the issues in the original post above as well as d) and e) in this comment. I appreciate your input, but also, as longtime paying customers, we are getting are getting quite frustrated.

@CraigWilliams Please change this idea to Open so we can upvote it. Here's an example: I want the line's label to be oriented the same as the text in the georeferenced image. The line direction is from top (start node) to bottom (end node). But I don't think the line direction matters in this case. I want the label to be rotated 180 degrees. Kudo an idea where the status is Needs Clarification
