ArcGIS Pro 3.4.2 Polygon A has many vertices. When creating polygon B, I want to re-use the vertices from polygon A to save time. As far as I can tell, there isn't an efficient way to simply select certain vertices from an existing polygon and use them as a starting point when drawing a new adjacent polygon.

It's a shame there hasn't been any movement on this. You submitted it 12 years ago. It would be very helpful.

ArcGIS Pro 3.4.2 When drawing a feature and snapping to the node of an existing feature: (Screenshot note: I had to manually draw the mouse crosshairs in MS Paint because they didn't come through in the screenshot.) The mouse crosshairs and the snapping square obscure the node that I'm snapping to. I would like to see more of the node when I hover/click it to snap to it. I don't think much can be done about the mouse crosshairs, but I'm wondering if the snapping square could be improved. For example, instead of a full square solid line, could there be dots or tick marks around the periphery of the square region? Note: I symbolized the vertices with marker symbols: ArcGIS Pro could optionally display point symbols at the ends of line features

Steps: Create a polygon using the Create Features pane. Clear the selection. Using the select tool, double-click the polygon I created (or an adjacent polygon) to edit the features. Double-clicking has no effect. Idea: Instead of navigating to the Modify Features pane and clicking Edit Vertices, I want to use the select tool to double-click a feature to edit the vertices.

For example, I was out of the office for a couple of months. When I returned, I was sharing my screen in a high-pressure meeting, and I couldn't remember how to open the labels pane (I don't do labelling very often). I tried searching for "labels" in the Command Search, but from a quick scan, I didn't see anything obvious that would open the label pane. I realize now that opening the label pane is easy enough. The label pane can be opened from the Contents right-click menu. There are likely other ways, too. But the point is, in a pinch, I would have preferred to look it up in a list of panes. If this functionality already exists, can someone advise where it is mentioned in the docs?

Most of my feature classes have a field called LABEL. When I enable labelling for a given layer, I would like the LABEL field to be used by default in the label class expression.

When creating new feature classes using the Create Feature Class Wizard, I want to add standard fields 99% of the time. ASSET_ID (text 25) ASSET_STATUS (text 25) OWNERSHIP (text 25) LABEL (text 255) Editor Tracking I'm wondering if an optional setting could be added to always add those fields by default in the wizard.

@SSWoodward The quote is from Esri Case #03829144 - Domain name length limits (Esri Canada Support - open case).

If you end up posting an idea for this, can you post the link to it in this thread?

@SteveLynch If I’ve specified the file type in the picklist, then I wonder if the file extension could be autocompleted if it hasn’t been manually entered in the path.
