ArcGIS Pro 2.9.5 and 3.4.2; file geodatabase In the attribute table, I want to select a portion of a text value, right-click the selected text, and copy it to the clipboard. Copying the selected text works using CTRL+C, but using the mouse to right-click the selected text has no effect other than exiting out of the selected cell, which is not expected. Video (Pro 2.9.5): Use case: The user has mobility issues in their left hand, and wants to use the mouse in their right hand as much as possible, such as to copy text. Or, some users just prefer to use the mouse instead of keyboard shortcuts. Right-clicking text to copy it is a standard workflow in Windows software, so I think Pro should be enhanced so that it works in this case too. Edit: Esri Case #03836435 - Attribute Table: Can't copy selected text from cell value using right-click BUG-000174722: In ArcGIS Pro, it is not possible to copy a portion of a text value in a layer's attribute table using a mouse. ...

It would be great we could temporarily invert the colors of an image/drawing when georeferencing images in Pro. It’s easier to read construction drawings/surveys when they are inverted, as a sort of “poor man’s dark mode”. I don’t want to permanently invert the colors using image editing software because I don’t want to forget to change it back and store inverted color drawings in the corporate records system. Could an inverted colors symbology option be added for greyscale and RGB images? ... View more

ArcGIS Pro 3.4.2 It would be helpful to have a geoprocessing tool that could convert polygons to polylines (1:1): there would be one line for each polygon; the lines wouldn’t be split at common boundaries; all within a single tool. Could a one-to-one polygon to line GP tool be added? Or enhance the Feature to Line GP tool with an optional setting?

ArcGIS Pro is open on screen 1. The attribute table of layer A is open & maximized on screen 2. I want to open the attribute table of layer B on screen 2 by dragging it from the Contents pane to the attribute table of layer A. I don't want the attribute table to open in ArcGIS Pro on screen 1 because that will resize the map, which is a nuisance and slow in some cases and requires the additional step of dragging the open attribute table to screen 2. ...

The Features To GPX (Conversion) geoprocessing tool in ArcGIS Pro doesn’t have any parameters for symbology. But it’s my limited understanding that .GPX files do support symbols. See the topografix manual‘s <sym> element. Could the Features To GPX tool be enhanced so that it supports exporting symbol information? ... View more
