Interesting workflow with Windows, Android, Amazon components in the mix. Thanks for posting the detailed steps - a typical user would never have figured it out! Hoping the platforms would make deployments easier.   ... View more

@SokoFromNZ Typically, I would make the Spatial Reference determination ahead of time and simply use a method with the appropriate projection WKID. I am not a developer, perhaps this provides some guidance.  ... View more

@SokoFromNZ Projected Coordinate System (PCS) should be used for distance or area measurements as they are localized to minimize distortion in a particular region.  ArcGIS Pro has quick search capabilities to find appropriate Coordinate System/Spatial Reference. For e.g. to find PCS for Spain: Open a tool or properties dialogue that displays coordinate system, like Project Click on the globe icon to get to coordinate system options   AyanPalit_1-1691665242878.png Select Projected Coordinate System, and enter 'Spain' in the search.  Expand on the Projected Coordinate System to view the suggestions AyanPalit_0-1691665205913.png Right-click on the coordinate system and click Details to get more info.

@WalterEralio I usually start with the Release notes for example:  https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/4.24/  AyanPalit_0-1691604563392.png At the feature level, you can simply search for the item and there is a note on version introduced:  AyanPalit_1-1691604726404.png     ...

This article certainly demonstrates potential use of generative AI. Seems like it is a literal read from the image and not much interpretation.    @TomBaker curious if the tools can answer questions as:  Which state has the highest population? Lowest? Is Utah’s population more than Texas? Can the tools correlate UT = Utah and TX = Texas? Is the population of North Dakota same as that of South Dakota? Is Alaska south of Louisiana?   ... View more

@mlanepbi The workflow is better handled through Linear Referencing (simple functions) and ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing (advanced functions). You can get started with the following references: Linear referencing datasets Pipelines may be modelled as Routes with the Start/End locations as Calibration Points or simply update measures on the vertices. You can then use the soil layer to Locate Features Along Routes Recommend importing the shapefiles into a file geodatabase and run geoprocessing there Good luck - please post your findings! ...

@Craig_Eissler_Iceman It will help if you provide specific links, tools and version of ArcGIS Pro being used. Note that, ArcGIS Pro didn’t differentiate between the two distinct foot definitions previously and this was updated in ArcGIS Pro 3.0.  ... View more

@Craig_Eissler_Iceman Great question! Looks like you have screenshots from ArcGIS documentation - always helpful if you include the reference link.  Anyway, if your focus is Feet, there are just two: 1 International foot = 0.3048 meters 1 US survey foot = 0.3048006096 meters The two federal agencies, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) retired use of the “U.S. survey foot” on December 31, 2022. Reference: https://www.noaa.gov/stories/thinking-on-our-feet-december-31-marks-end-of-us-survey-foot US survey units are based on imperial units (British) and sometimes used interchangeably. As noted above there may be a slight difference between specific US survey units and its corresponding imperial units.    Reference: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/distance-formats-for-editing.htm  ...

Excellent resources - added industry tags for ease of access.  ... View more

Excellent article! I will add few tips based on my years of working with Esri customers, Business Partners, System Integrators and staffing agencies. College grads - don't feel constrained by your major/minor. I know a few geologists who are excellent GIS PMs! No GIS background - no problem! I have seen plenty of PM's pickup GIS while managing projects. You just have to pickup on GIS concepts and lingo, organically. Build your expertise horizontally, the soft skills apply to all industry sectors. Develop vertically ( deeper expertise) in core areas of interest. ... View more

@LarsElmkær_Chwastek It is great that you are thinking of including interactive maps for presentations. In my practice, I have transitioned to using apps like ArcGIS StoryMaps, ArcGIS Dashboards or Instant Apps like Atlas. The specific use case will drive picking the best option among the different apps available.   ...
