I almost always want to measure in feet and acres, but the tool defaults to metric units. This means I have to change the units every time I open the tool. ... View more

Generally, I like the move to named user licenses since it allows me to easily use and authenticate ArcGIS Pro when I switch between several computers. However, when Pro cannot authenticate it creates a notification that your access to Pro will be cut off in 1 hour. This is causing problems today because ESRI is experiencing AGOL outages that is interfering with Pro authentication for named licenses. Since Pro can't authenticate, it says I'll be unable to use it after an hour. The important point here is that things out of a user's control could cause this - including connectivity problems or - as in this case - AGOL problems. A grace period of 1 hour will likely impact users when then problem is out of their control.  I think extending that to maybe - one day - would not impact ESRI (if your license really did expire, one extra day isn't going to change much) but would allow time for external problems to be fixed and/or give users time to find and implement a workaround (eg - find internet they can connect to once a day).  I realize that checking out a license could help, but not all organizations allow it and that seems like a more cumbersome solution if this is the only reason a user needs to check out their license. ...

This has been bugging me about the ArcGIS Pro UI. The Clear Selection and Delete Selection buttons are right next to each other in the Attribute Table (first screenshot) as well as the Attribute Editor context menu. It seems too easy to click the wrong one (I have done it, luckily I realized quickly and could rebuild the missing data). I'm using feature services so there is no option to discard edits later. I worry this is even more confusing for less experiences users.  Separating the buttons would help, at least making it harder to accidentally click the wrong one. I like the larger X icon from the attribute menu & ribbon, vs the less distinguishable icon in the table editor. The arrangement in the ribbon is also better where the delete button is removed from the selection tab. I never feel I'll accidentally click delete here. ... View more
