@JesseWickizer  - Thanks for the tip! Of course, I knew this trick and it's exactly how I did it today. But I was hoping for a more elegant and simple solution (something like you do with labels).  ... View more

Imagine, I have a single layer with multiple lines of two types (purple and orange) that get updated daily and I need to print out a status map every day. I want the legend to summarize the total length of red lines and the total length of green lines. The dynamic text mechanism now allows me to post only the total length of all lines in the table combined. It is already not a small deal, and I appreciate this ability. But in addition to the available options (see attached), we need the "by symbology" option too. Thanks!   ... View more

Interesting... Just ran a test. Created an event layer, based on Excel table. It has ObjectID "32-bit" and it does have snapping abilities. Thanks! I guess you can close the idea. ... View more

After I submitted my similar idea in 2020 (https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/provide-an-option-to-retain-cad-annotation-as-they/idi-p/935060), I spoke with the ESRI CAD group developers. From that conversation I got the feeling that they were not interested in solving the problem that some of us face 😞 But it's good to know that it's not only me who wants/needs something else too. ...

Currently, the definition queries are hardcoded in the layers. (Thanks, Pro offers some improvements over ArcMap.) Now, I have a project with many layouts and many maps. Those maps are organized differently, yet they all contain similar layers. I found that if I change a layer's query definition in one map, I then must find the same layer in all other maps and change them too, accordingly. It's a lot of extra work. I wish all those layers had a definition query based on some "server" feed: then I'd have to change it in one place only and be sure that all the layers in all maps be synchronized. That "server" can be just a utility within the Pro project or reside elsewhere. Example: instead of <TYPE = 'HYDRANT'> the query in all related layers would be <DefQrySrv_String = 'Util_2022_Nov'>.

Hi Bing'An, To me it would just a hobby/interest/educational type thing. Like "What's really larger Greenland or Africa?" Some people may use it for other purposes. Anyway, it would enrich the program and make the users want to open it more often. Thanks! ... View more

@WendyHarrison, thanks! Yes, I know this trick. However, it only works well with the rectangular areas. A more complicated shape would still be treated as a rectangular envelope.  ... View more

@KoryKramer - Just to clarify, it's not about locking the entire project on the Windows level, it's a simple check-mark-type lock on map in the Catalog's Maps folder. Perhaps with a different icon or color to indicate the locked state. ... View more
