I've just tested this on 3.6 and it works fine for me. I had added to a layout a map frame then a legend. Under the properties on the legend I ticked on the only show features in extent option. I activate the map frame drag it to some area with nothing and the legend updates removing the layers. Try upgrading your version of ArcPro?

I like @BarryNorthey quick method, but more can be asked about your problem. For a start the longest straight line within a polygon is often referred to as the fetch. Do a search on that on this forum/GIS SE and you will discover that your question has been asked many times. Now do you want your fetch to have a specific property like it must pass through the polygon centroid? I had asked a similar question 15 years ago on GIS SE, the Q/A is here. Have you searched the ESRI Code sharing site, there is an old ArcMap tool that does the job here you should be able to adapt it for ArcPro?

How are you running ArcPro through a remote desktop connection or one of those virtual terminals like citrix? Or simply directly from your PC? Have you the latest graphic drivers installed? Without further information it will be difficult to resolve this as I can't tell if it is duff data, duff data source connection , duff pc or some weird connection that you are using? May be edit your question and replace your static image with a short video to show the problem?

Thanks Jesse, you have earned yourself a 🍺! I guessed this was a cartographic problem that could be solved with an effect, I was clearly on the right track but barking up the wrong tree! So it was the dash effect I needed to tweak. I would not have known it was a conversion from metres > Inches > Points > Display Scale. So I think your solution will be valuable to others. I should warn other users don't try to edit a geometry whilst this affect is applied, ArcPro blows up, it consumed all the RAM (all 32GB) and brought the PC to a standstill... Another consequence is that the symbol in the contents pane takes on a dashed appearance. Not unreasonable as that is the symbol one has created and in my case I don't need to show it so was not a problem. But if you need to add the layer symbol to a legend in a layout you'll need to consider this.

Yes. I sell a toolbox RivEX where all the tools are embedded into the toolbox. It works well and simplifies distribution. The only thing external is the help file, license file, shared modules and some sample data. I have come across an annoying quirk and I think it specific to VSCode. When you associate an IDE, in my case VSCode, with the arcpro it can open your code in VSCode and you have the full editing functionality of VSCode. This works about 95% of the time and when you close VSCode all your edits are transferred back into the embedded script. Nice! But... 5% of the time when you shut down VSCode it complete nukes your code and you loose everything! So imagine you are not working from a backup and all that new coding you've done is also lost! I've taught myself to select all the code and copy it, then close VSCode, then check the toolbox!

@HannesZiegler Great to see this in the help file, I think this will be really useful for developers, I know I'll start using it! Just a quick clarification, the help page for AddMessage() has been updated, does that mean the JSON structure does not work in AddError() and AddWarning() as neither of those pages appear to have be updated with this useful functionality? In my initial idea I was using AddError() as I am most likely to want people to jump out to an error code in an online manual.

OK what would be genuine examples of the two input parameters? oldzip = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
workspace_folder = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1) Also setting parameter zero to be a File AND a Shapefile AND a Folder makes no sense to me, should it not simply be File with your filter set? Properties > Parameter 0: Data Type > File > Filter File (zip; shp) Properties > Parameter 0: Data Type > Shapefile Properties > Parameter 0: Data Type > Folder

Yes its not free. I'm also the author behind the tool. You now have that decision to make; spend hours of your time teaching yourself trace networks or linear referencing (which is a good thing and expands your knowledge of GIS), rely on free support from this community platform or just spend £100\£200 pounds depending if you are academic or not and have a suite of tools tailored to your needs requiring probably no more than an hour of reading the help file to get yourself up and running. If you think RivEX could help I recommend you download the demo version, have a play and get a sense of what its capable of doing.

You could use RivEX a tool for processing data specifically along river networks. The basic work flow in RivEX would be: prepare the river network> snap your point data to the network and deal with any un-snapped data> link sites. I provide many examples of workflows in the help file, your task matches this example. The link site tool not only tells you the distance but gives you a polyline to visualise the route and use in further spatial analysis.

Hi @RTPL_AU , Thank you for your innovative approach, certainly ticks the box of crafty! I feel there must be some symbol effect that would achieve what I'm looking for. The suppress effect sort of does it but relies on you individually setting vertices as control points (ain't going to happen!) and cut sounds exactly what I want but the help file is so poorly documented with no examples I can't get it to work the way I want. So either I'm messing it up or it can't do it, hence me reaching out to the user community. I hope others such as you offer further advice.

Hi Community, I want to try and utilise the cartographic effects that ArcPro 3.5 has to symbolise my data without having to alter the underlying geometry. To set the scene, here is my data. The purple cross section lines are compose of two vertices and they always intersect the black point on the blue line, but note there is no vertex at that location. I show one line selected in edit mode to prove this. I want to use one of the many cool symbol effects that ArcPro has to create a two colour line, say going from red to blue changing colour at that black point, something like below. Now one approach, because I know no better, is to actually split the line at the black point and colour up individually, but I don't want to do that, I want my line whole, composed of only two vertices intersecting the black point. Encoded into each line is the percentage along the line the black point is, its always from left to right. Having spent hours looking at the help file, which is poorly documented and I even tried the new AI assistant I have been unable to achieve the effect I desire. I've explored the cut effect and the suppress effect. The suppress effect requires control points but I don't want additional vertices in the lines. The cut effect seems to alter the appearance as one zooms in/out and its units (pt) I cannot seem to associate with the black points position even though I have turned on symbol property connection. I thought this would be a relatively simple symbology effect but I have failed completely to achieve it! May be I am barking up the wrong tree with my choice of symbol effect? Or this is an effect that is not supported? May be there is some other crafty way of doing this? Can anyone help? Tagging carto guru : @JohnNelsonEsri

I recently needed to share an image of a model in modelbuilder to an external client who does not have ESRI software. Through the model builder tab > Model > Export I created a PDF of the model. It all looked fine for me. So I attached it to an email and sent it to the client. For them the text looked like morse code so the PDF was useless. It appears that the export process does not embed fonts and there is no UI for adjusting options when exporting to PDF in model builder. I asked the ESRI document assistant AI and that confirms its a lack of embedded fonts but erroneously points you to the export tool under the share tab in ArcPro. So my idea is simply if you are not going to expose PDF options such as embedding fonts through that export button on the model builder tab then please embed fonts as a default so people can actually read the model! As it stands if your clients don't have those fonts (and not everyone has ESRI software) then sharing a PDF of the model is completely pointless as no one can read it.

That wont make much sense if you are importing multiple shapefiles in one hit which are from different folders with different schemas. Why not just use the Export Features tool as you show as a way of importing into a geodatabase?
