Thanks all for the responses. Glad to get this discussion up and running. Looks like IT will have to allocate more resources towards GIS, and at home I'll need to invest in a new computer! Theo

Out of curiosity, what model HP laptop did you get? Lindy2017‌

"I would think that it is not realistic of your employer, in my opinion, to expect you to do real geospatial analysis and editing with only 4 GB of RAM and not have some issues with the machine." Well 4GB was fine for ArcMap, so it's never been a problem until now. Also I'm the only GIS tech in the whole company so my bargaining power is rather limited We do run off Citrix virtual desktops. So not sure if that makes a difference. Perhaps my RAM specs posted earlier are simply what I've been allocated virtually? I'll find out. I don't think I have a proper graphics card, so that must be bottlenecking performance a bit too...

It's too slow. The system requirements are too high. The program installed for me (just!) but using it is a jumpy, laggy experience. For geospatial analysis and editing, you need something quick and snappy. Pro (1.4.1) just isn't that. I'm not in a position in my office to request having more RAM, a new CPU, graphics card etc. so I'm stuck. I've change all the display options for best performance and it's still too slow. Here is my Shift+E readout: Pro needs moire customising options relating to performance vs quality (one example off the top of my head: remove the glowing outline fade after editing a shape. Instead just have it change instantly.) ArcMap 10.4 runs fine, using the exact same datasets. Other software runs fine. I get that ESRI are going for a more flashy and graphical interface, but at the cost of slower performance? That shouldn't be the case... My specs: Windows 7:

Yes I need this to work too. I've read I can enable attachments on the layer, but can't figure out how.

Downloaded Pro 1.4 Installed Applied 1.4.1 patch Admin for our organisation assigned me a license Signed in successfully Error... Can I get the license emailed to me? Is it a file I can simply drop into a folder somewhere?

You could use 'Polygon text' from the Draw toolbar to draw the callout manually and input the text inside. However, I'm unsure of how to draw straight lines.

Yes we want to be able to share a URL to our WebMap with our customers for them to access on their home PCs, but not for our data to be found on ArcGIS online. Currenlty we have to make the map public, to get the URL to send out. There really needs to be a middle option here.

All very good points. I can see why they've limited the amount of records. I didn't comprehend that some GDBs could have millions of records! However, and back to a previous point I made, I still find it a bit strange how to search (find) function will only search the 2000, rather than the whole dataset.

‎03-30-2017

Something I found: Removing the definition query changes the figure at the bottom of the attribute table from '0 out of *2000 Selected' to the complete version- '0 out of 26455 Selected'. However, when you scroll down, you are still limited to viewing the first 2000 or so. The scroll bar stops. This can't be intentional, and looks a bit buggy.

I'm afraid I don't have 10.5 installed. Just 10.4. Also I can't download and install 105 without going through IT to gain access, and it would overwrite my 10.4 installation. Which I don't want.

Hi Vince. Thanks for the info. I'm learning Python 2.7 and writing scripts using Model Builder in 10.4, so I'm also keen to avoid becoming too involved with older Python versions. Now although we have 10 desktops on ArcGIS Desktop 10.4, our server machine runs ArcGIS Server 10.0 purely because it works for our setup. IT created a test environment on a new machine with Server 10.4 on it last year but I couldn't figure out how to host our shapefiles and feature classes as 'live' data. I think I need more time to learn how to set it all up, but in the meantime I'm trying to juggle 10.4 and 10.0 at the same time. We also ran in to many permission problems and errors (I don't even have access to download the install files from My.Esri site!

'python 2.7.* is required for ArcMap related scripts' ah I didn't know. Thanks. 2.6 isn't installed on a machine with ArcMap. It's on the server machine which runs ArcGIS Server 10.0. The server hosts and runs our company mapping interface and is stable. I've seen threads elsewhere advising not to update Python on a machine running older GIS software. So I'm tempted to keep 2.6 running on that machine as to not risking breaking anything... from ESRI support site: Dan_Patterson‌

Annoyingly, with most of the data hidden in this way, I can't use the Find button to search for any records after #2048. I believe the search function should open up the rest of the table...

‎03-28-2017

It was record #2000 (well actually it was #2048. So it's been limited to 2048 all this time) Anyway, I've found two work arounds 1. Right click a column (preferrably an ID column) and click Sort Ascending. 2. Click the 'move to end of table' button: These are only workarounds however, there needs to be an option to disable this attribute table limitation. If I close the attribute table and open it up again, the records are limited once more to 2000 (2048). Argh! jayanta.poddar‌
