All, So after completing an ESRI online training course it made me think about the split/merge policies you apply to domains. This is something I have never done and today I started to explore these capabilities, so maybe in some future data capture project I will be working smarter. I seem to have failed! I don't know if this is a bug in ArcPro or I have simply got the wrong end of the stick and misunderstood. I provide the geodatabase in a zip file with everything set up for you to see if I have missed something obvious. I created a polyline feature class. Populated feature class with 2 polylines, they are snapped to their endpoints Added a SHORT field and set both to a value of 1. Create a domain where split is to duplicate and merge is to sum values, I show this below. I assign the domain to the code field. Go into edit mode select both polylines and choose the merge tool then run the merge The merge of the geometries works as expected but the code field returns 1 when I was expecting to see 2, what did I do wrong? Same result if I merge to existing or New feature.

This can be done very easily in ArcPro. Simply access your Portal through the Catalog Pane, add the layer you want to truncate to a map then run the Truncate table tool on it. As you are referencing the online version inside ArcPro you truncate the table in AGOL. No code required.

To add a use case scenario to this idea I would like it to be able to find out out where a hosted feature layer is being used in my own organisation, a sort of recursive search. For example if I had a hosted feature layer called rivers then I would like to know which maps are using it, in which folders, but also which apps are using the map with the river layer in it. This could be filtered by just me or people in my organisation as well as outside the organisation as Sarah suggests.

This functionality needs to be added. The selection aspect within web editor seems to be working well but of cause the first thing I want to do with a selection is apply a field calculate to the selection, currently you can only edit attributes of a feature one at a time which negates any use of a selection. We look forward to this functionality being added.

Have you created a folder called c:\scratch? Of course you could simply change that to a new location.

Good news Chris was able to identify this odd behaviour, hopefully documentation and/or tool will be updated with a warning as the solution was quite trivial. The table in the accdb had a unique ID field but it also needs to be set within Access to be the PRIMARY KEY. Once this was done and you build an event layer from it then rows are treated as single features and you can select individual feature and zoom to them.

You have run the xy table to point tool NOT THE make XY event layer tool as I had suggested above. The tool you ran converts your csv into a proper permanent spatial dataset whilst an event layer is a read-only layer built on the fly.

Here is a superior method that can be done in three tools that will process hundreds of points in a few seconds. I present it as a model so its easier to understand, and you can convert this to python if you so wish. As a side note reviewing your code thisbuffdist never changes within the loop so your buffer distance is constant for the points, my logic follows this logic. So here is some sample data, a green sample point and the background raster labelled with its cell values. The circle is showing a radius, in this case 100m to depict the neighbourhood. The three step model is this: The focal statistics tool is set to create a circular neighbourhood and extract the RANGE within that neighbourhood. This range value is passed through to the points and then I simply select all points with a range > 1. Here is a screenshot showing 3 points selected whilst 1 remains unselected (dark blue) to prove that the logic works.

ArcGIS Pro 3.3 introduced presentations. You can insert an image into a presentation page. The navigation dialog shows a generic icon and a path to an image, this I show below: It would be good if this navigation dialog actually showed a thumbnail size picture of the image to help user choose the correct image. [Moderator note: this is not specific to inserting pictures in Presentations. There are other workflows that use the Insert Picture dialog (e.g. layouts) where this idea is applicable.]

In the Arcpro 3.3 release they added to geometry objects scale and move, so lets hope they add rotate to a geometries list of methods.

Dave, This is great news but I feel cautious to use it as you say its "not officially supported", which to me could indicate that it could be removed without warning as well as becoming official. Now this is just me but I find using json horrible, it's just all brackets within brackets with colons upon colons to me! I have always found json hard to decypher. So if the Pro team were to consider to make this a supported feature (which would be great!) then I ask them to consider an easier approach like a <a></a> or maybe some sort of object based approach? For example a geoprocessing tool returns a result object which one can tap into the various properties. May be the AddMessage can take of a sort of message object? Just an idea. Anyway this I think would be really useful and surprised that it's not in the documentation, so at the minimum you could suggest to the team to expand the help documentation to show off this very useful property. Thanks! Duncan

I often compress file geodatabases to reduce data volume for static datasets. I am also being supplied , in ever increasing regularity datasets supplied as geopackages. When I import such data into a file geodatabase it takes on the field formats but the compression tool errors with this message: ERROR 161003: Cannot compress ea_detailed_watersheds. Compression not supported on 64-bit object ID, big integer, date only, time only or timestamp offset fields. So my idea is to update the compression tool to work with 64-bit object ID, big integer, date only, time only or timestamp offset fields as these will become increasingly more common.

Dear @ChrisUnderwood, Attached is a zip file with an access database, points have been deliberately moved but the same issue still persists. I create an OLE link to it using the 16.0 OLE DB Provider Add table to map Create an EVENT THEME (I don't want XY Table to Point before you suggest it), spatial reference is set to British_National_Grid. Try and select a single point selects everything and we don't see the selection in the layers attribute table. It will be interesting to hear if you get the same issues and if there is a solution? By the way I using ArcPro 3.3. Duncan

So a question was asked way back in 2012 about adding hyperlinks in error messaging. 12 years have passed, ArcPro is the main desktop application and this has not come to pass so I'm asking now if this can be considered as an idea. Currently my error messaging might be something like this: arcpy.AddError("Some error, you need to go to Amazon!") What I would like to be able to do is something like this, but this simply prints everything: arcpy.AddError('Some error, you need to go to <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk">Amazon!</a>') In my use case scenario I would replace the URL with a URL to an error page for an online manual.
