Are you performing the "Save" step here at step 16? https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/imagery/georeferencing-a-raster-to-a-referenced-layer.htm

Out of curiousity, does your PC have a dedicated video card that meets Pro recommended specs? Mine does, and I wonder if that has anything to do with me not experiencing it on my laptop but I do on the remote machine which doesn't.

I think this only happens to me when I'm remoting into another machine and running Pro on the remote machine. Usually closing Pro and reopening it works to fix it, and it doesn't happen often enough for me to stop using this work pattern. I want to say that my local machine has better capabilities and I don't think it's ever happened on it. Suffice it to say, I have experienced a Pro map get corrupted where tracing never worked again, but if I created a new map it worked fine. I just don't like having to do that all the time, ugh.

I like the UI layout. I can customize the top things I use to always be available and I'm always learning where new things are. One wish would be to be able to "dock" a ribbon so it's always available, preventing me from having to jump back and forth between ribbons. Another wish is that the when context changes that the automatic ribbon switch happened much quicker, so more a UX thing. As it is now, it takes like a second and I feel like I'm sitting there waiting for the software to catch up to my mind/what I want to do next.

Did you ever figure out what was wrong? I'm having the exact same issue.

@WendyHarrison - You're understanding of it is perfect, no example needed. You got it.

Thanks Kory. I'm observing this issue in the Create Feature Class tool, Page 2/6 which is where you create fields. So, not exactly the same as the "fields view" bug, but closely related. I'll try the work around. Thanks again.

In ArcGIS Pro, if you try to create a field name with a length of more than 32 characters (say by importing an existing Feature Class as a template) the tool gives a red box error indicator, and the hover text states: A field name cannot exceed 32 characters That's great, except the official ArcGIS Pro specs on File Geodatabases says that a field name length can be up to 64 characters long: File name length - 64 characters I can confirm that it's possible to have file geodatabase field names longer than 32 characters as I have a file geodatabase that has a feature class with a 36 character field name which was generated using the ArcGIS Python API from a spatially enabled dataframe: My question is why is there a disagreement here between the actual specs and the software? Is this just an oversight? It seems like it is, otherwise the spec should say the limit is 32 characters. If it is an oversight, can we get the ArcGIS Pro team to include this in a future update patch?

@TaylorCarnell1 - Thats'a great point. Regular layer masking allows you to block specific individual layers, but labeling weights on a layer blocks labels from all layers. These are diametrically opposed solutions. @WendyHarrison - While the solution you proposed worked for my narrow case, the proposed solution for labeling doesn't allow for blocking of labels by specific layers. The idea proposed is to go to the layer being labeled and designate specific layers that will mask the labels, just like how layer masking works under the Appearance ribbon. This idea should be re-opened.

@WendyHarrison - I could have swore I already tried that and it didn't work, but I must be mistaken. That did exactly what I needed. Thank you!

If you're not in Pro, but rather in a stand-alone jupyter notebook, can you still designate a "scratch" gdb?

Not even all gp tools work with memory workspaces. Like try to do it with arcpy.conversion.WFStoFeatureClass. Instead of writing it to memory\somefc, it writes it to disk as memory.gdb\somefc

‎09-03-2021

I'm trying to utilize the in memory workspace in Pro using the GP tool arcpy.conversion.WFSToFeatureClass but when I use r"memory" as the out_path, instead of placing the feature class into memory, it creates a file geodatabase on disk <Result C:\\data\memory.gdb> A different tool, arcpy.conversion.FeatureClassToFeatureClass uses the same variable for the same purposes, out_path, respects it and places the result into <Result 'memory\myfcname'> Clearly, the tools don't work the same way concerning outputting to memory, but the documentation provides no indication as such. Can anyone shed any light if there is a work around for this issue? I really want to use the in memory workspace for the WFS conversion to Feature Class. Thank you!

I support this user story. Dynamic Label Masking is a very basic cartographic tool that can really speed up workflows.

Are the field names the same or different? If the field names are different then you'll need to set up the Field Mapping in the Editor Settings per these instructions: Copy and paste features using the clipboard—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation If the field names are the same, and you have the box checked to Keep Source Attribute Values, then that's a mystery.
