When adding a new value to your symbology, you will have to find the 'Options' drop-down menu to add a new value. This feels unnecessary, because: When you wish to select values already present, you need to click instead of type a value anyway; When no other values are present, there is really nothing else you can do at that point anyway and all of the other options are greyed-out anyway. Therefore, my idea is to be able to start typing right away.

We all have to add values to existing symbology from time to time. ArcGIS Pro seems to disregard existing symbols when doing so. There are workarounds. However, I find it a hassle to (1) save the symbols, (2) applying them all over again and (3) lastly also having to apply the desired color. My idea would eliminate at least two unnecessary steps. In ArcMap, the symbol seemed to be derived from whatever symbol was used as 'All other values'. My idea is to have ArcGIS Pro use the symbol from 'All other values' when adding new values.

Arcade expressions provide a powerful way to visualize your data in ArcGIS Pro. It inherently has its limits. One of these seems to be to import symbology based on an Arcade expression from one layer to another using the tool 'Apply Symbology From Layer' (also known as 'Import Symbology'). This would be handy in many cases where changing the datasource isn't really helpful, for example where other attributes differ a lot between layers or there is other configuration like labeling and pop-ups that make chaging a data source less optimal. Symbology may be complex as well, which would make it time consuming to build it all over again. My idea is to allow symbology based on Arcade expressions to be imported from one layer to another.

You could try something like the following. The script is inspired by this question. Please note I did not get the scale property to work, so you could try specifying your own scale. import arcpy currentProject = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('current') activeObject = currentProject.activeView x = float(arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)) y = float(arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)) yourScale = float(arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2)) xMin = x-yourScale yMin = y-yourScale xMax = x+yourScale yMax = y+yourScale extent = arcpy.Extent(xMin,yMin,xMax,yMax) activeObject.camera.setExtent(extent) Some notes: - This script assumes you are working in the map you wish to change the view in. - You can enter the coordinates by hand (hence the GetParameterAsText for x and y) and it assumes you already know the coordinates you are looking for (for example from an Excel file). - The scale is used to create a square of sorts to set the extent. You may have to alter this to suit your needs. - The scale is now published as parameter. You could hardcode this or provide a default value. If this is not really what you are looking for, could you please elaborate what the script should do?

In ArcGIS Online, we all have many different items which we all organize neatly in folders with understandable names. One specific item type which I find rather useless to see all the time, are Service Definitions. In some cases there are so many, it clogs up your list of items. Deleting the Service Definitions is sometimes unwanted for obvious reasons. W hen I'm going through my list of items, it would be great to hide Service Definitions by default and make it easier to manage content. Yes, it already is possible to filter items. However, as far as I know it is not possible to filter all EXCEPT certain item types. My question is: can I somehow hide Service Definitions by default for all my folders?

In some cases, dynamic and realtime open data is not plain XML from a URL, but it is zipped. Zipping the data means it is published as an '.xml.gz' file which currently GeoEvent cannot read. Example One example of this can be found here: http://opendata.ndw.nu/ (no https yet). Several datasets like incidents (road traffic incidents), traffic speed and brugopeningen (tells you which bridges are opened or closed) are zipped. Therefore, GeoEvent cannot connect to any of this data. Idea My idea is to A. Either add a specific GeoEvent connector which can read .xml.gz or B. Allow for the existing XML input to specifcy whether or not the xml is plain or zipped.
