It seems that between version 4.9 and 4.10, display of a graphic's symbol was changed so that it's rotation is always relative to the screen rather than the mapview. I have added some features to a graphicslayer that I want to point in a certain compass direction, which obviously does not work now. Is there an option to override the default behavior, and set the angle relative to the mapview's rotation? ... View more

Hi, I'm trying to use dynamic data layers in ArcGIS Server REST to replace the datasource for a layer in a mapservice when making a request to the /export method. What happens is that for certain users, instead of the original featureclass, a view is used in order to limit what they see on the map. This already works. However, when using a dataLayer object, I'm forced to also provide a drawingInfo object that specifies the symbology. But this particular mapservice uses some complicated symbols that cannot be reproduced by the renderer in the drawingInfo. I was wondering if there is a way to tell ArcGIS Server to use the renderer from an existing mapLayer in the service, and only replace the datasource being used. I also noticed there is something called a workspaceLayer that can be used when the service is published by ArcGIS Pro, and which references a .lyrx file. So far I haven't been able to get the proper syntax. For example, setting dynamicLayers to [ { "id" : 1 , "source" : { "type" : "workspaceLayer" , "workspaceId" : "TEST_WS" , "layerId" : "layerfile.lyrx" } ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ } ] ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ gives me: 'Unable to create workspaceLayer with invalid 'layerId' input.' ...

I noticed that the native ArcGIS MessageBoxes have their own button on the Windows taskbar (e.g. the 'Do you want to save...' box when closing Pro). This can be somewhat confusing for users, especially when the setting to group taskbar buttons is not enabled, so I was wondering if it it possible to change this behavior. One thing that is very annoying happens when hovering the mouse over the taskbar button, and then hovering over the MessageBox thumbnail; all other windows, including the ArcGIS Main window, will now be hidden (default Windows 10 behavior). The same happens when showing a MessageBox from an add-in. It doesn't seem to matter if I set the parent window or not: ArcGIS . Desktop . Framework . Dialogs . MessageBox . Show ( Application . Current . MainWindow , "Message" ) ; ‍ Note that unfortunately I'm still working with 2.2, so if anyone can confirm wether this is fixed in a later version, that's OK too. ... View more

When writing an add-in for ArcGIS Pro, is it possible to add sections to the Project → Options window? I would like to store settings for my add-in, and it would be nice to integrate those in the existing window, rather than having an extra 'settings' button on the ribbon, to open a custom window. ...
