Agreed, it's something that never happened. Might have been nice, but it's not the end of the world to need to create a replacement table. Right now, almost four years after I first saw a beta "ArcGIS 11," I'm still switching from ArcGIS Pro back to the 32-bit app sometimes; this week when having stability problems while editing (merge, explode) and building geodatabase topology in ArcGIS Pro, I worked in ArcMap for a few hours, then was able to work with my changes in ArcGIS Pro, which I'd otherwise prefer to use. After watching this feature request thread for a couple of years, I'm in a better place---because now I'll pick and choose among ArcMap, ArcGIS Pro, or PostGIS/QGIS depending on what tool works best. Sure I'm still copying stuff to new tables to reorder fields, but if I do that while writing spatial SQL in PostGIS, I can complete a geoprocessing step or two during each table copy for my trouble. It's good to have choices, although I'm a little bit surprised to see how very slowly ArcMap is fading into ArcGIS Pro. Back in the day, ArcINFO 7 went out in a flash for me, but ArcView GIS 3 stayed around sort of like this. Maybe it's just the (Esri) way of things? -=Brian Q

I stopped trying to do this. Now, I write a single spatial SQL query to PostGIS and visualise in QGIS. I get the attributes that I want in one step. I can export to share back to ArcGIS Pro users Brian B. Quinn brian.quinn@sfgov.org

That sounds like it’s ready for production. Thanks for the update! -=Brian Q

Hi Emmor, I note that Daniel Diaz has generated them for all building footprints in Puerto Rico. Also, the GitHub site appears to support seven languages' worth of implementations. Seems like ArcGIS is just not central to OLC quite yet.

Has anyone else looked for an implementation of Open Location Code technology in ArcGIS Pro? I would like to create Plus Codes for all our city buildings, and I'll be able to do it with a Google API, or with code from GitHub - google/open-location-code: Open Location Code is a library to generate short codes that can be used like street… but hey, anyone doing this within GIS? (partial credit for success via QGIS ;^) -=Brian Q at 849VQHGJ+2M9

As a practical option that just works now, use ArcGIS Pro 1.3.1 to reorder and rename fields in a File Geodatabase as you see fit to get the columns tidy. Maybe even define a suitable index then run Sort tool to get the rows sequenced nicely. Copy that File GDB to server or export the fixed up Feature Class to SDE as appropriate, and fire up ArcCatalog to define the service and publish it on ArcGIS for Server. It's not too loopy of a workflow if your data is fairly static. JMTCW, -=Brian Q

I shared this question for a couple of years. But no longer. I'm nine days into a cold-turkey quit of ArcMap. Big user requests that have been put off for years by Esri are showing up implemented and stable in Pro 1.3 like: Design view for attributes. Rename and reorder your fields, yes; and not just aliases! Tweak one or twenty items, then Save those changes to a revised schema. People have wanted that for more than a decade, and now it's here. Consistent, more purely Pythonic approach to geoprocessing. I was a bit put off at first by having to go to the little red lunchboxes so much to do my stuff, until I realized that that Geoprocessing pane was accumulating my last 20 functions and suddenly I stopped hunting. Everything is Python, so instead of calc'ing in some <NULL>, its now called 'None' and the single quotes are not needed. That works for me. Lots of editing for me this past week on building footprints; quickly I find a workflow like select in attribute table, Zoom to Selected is right there, Merge stays open and docked, then on to the next one. This is nice! Split polygons with or without a selection? I'll take three of those! Want to get started in 3D? Finding the Procedural renderers without need for a CityEngine license really makes my day. And when that fancy rendering is taking place, my workstation is firing on all 8 threads and yet the interface stays pretty responsive. That ain't never gonna happen in a 32-bit app that derives from MFC tools released in the Windows 95 era. For myself, after less than 10 days, I'm only going back for very specific things: ArcGIS 10.4.1 for Desktop gives me more stable ability to join 16 attributes from three different tables to 150,000+ polygons, so I use it for that and get right back to Pro. Creating a new Feature Dataset that is defined for both local horizontal grid and also for standard Z datum? That is doable in 10.4.1 and I can't figure out how to specify Z in Pro 1.3 right now. But in 10 days, that's two *very* narrow actions that were better in Desktop. By way of disclosure, I learned Arc/INFO at 4.01, found reasons to use ArcView GIS from 1.0 to 3.2a, and saw Jack Dangermond outshine Steve Jobs at the plenary where 8.0 was announced. So 16 years with a 32-bit app really does seem long enough to file for separation without too many regrets! Maybe keep trying?
