I share in the same sentiment as @NavaSheer. We have been waiting (way too long 😒 ) for this to be considered for implementation. ArcGIS Pro is not on parity with ArcMap. 2 years until ArcMap is retired and it took 4 years to even be "under consideration" by ESRI.   There is no guarantee this will even happen. Seeing is believing. I will wait until it is there in the GUI to celebrate. The whole process going to ArcPro from ArcMap has just been one disappointment to another.  Note: ArcGIS Pro 1x was released in Q1 of 2015 for some perspective.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArcGIS_Pro   ...

The simplest solution is to rename the file yourself. Do not know why ESRI did not put the file version in the name of ArcGIS Pro like every other GIS or Windows application that most of us run. I hope this youtube video helps the community out.   How to rename icon in Start Menu (Windows 10) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpKEaTrLX6M The GIS user should not have to do this but it is what it is. 🤷‍ Here is the before and after for the simple fix. Problem solved.   ... View more

Hello everyone, it is the new year and trying to see where ESRI is on timelines for this enhanced widget? Q1, Q2? 2014? ....2015? deployment ....? Hey @RussRoberts can you check in with the AGOL team and get back to the group on timeline.  The idea was first reported back in October of 2021. It went quiet and just recently has picked up steam again. We need to keep moving this fwd.   If you want more non-GIS users in various companies to really embrace the ESRI's web mapping platform this is the tool to do it with. Being able to draw and share that vector polygon is a must.  Too many times we are seeing everyone run back to open source Google Earth just because they can overlay the data and draw their polygon(s) and export the kmz and share it back with GIS. It is time to close the loop and deploy the workflow needed inside our ESRI webmaps.   1. Build webmap(s) 2. Publish / deploy webmap(s) to non-GIS staff  3. Enhanced widget let our users create polygons for their AOIs or whatever their needs are and then export that back to the GIS team in standard ESRI formats.   Thanks everyone who is supporting this thread and thank you @SarahWillett for this idea almost 3 years ago. Let us get it done here in 2024! ... View more

Did you ever get a resolution to this?.... or did ESRI help you reconfigure the webmap in such a way to improve the response and and refresh rate? I am seeing the same thing. Huge difference between classic vs. standard map viewer. Almost night and day difference, I have some complex layers but the Classic Map viewer handles them no problem (point click move and refresh is just awesome) but if I wanted the added functionality of the standard map viewer (group layers, etc.) the refresh is just slow as molasses. No idea why.  ... View more

Please add another vote for this feature. Was in a discussion with ESRI reps and they also said that ArcGIS Pro had reached parity with ArcMap (lol)...this is not true as we continue to find features that are missing such as this one.  https://support.esri.com/en-us/products/arcmap/life-cycle ArcMap retires on March of 2026.  Share this idea within your colleagues and do not forget to comment below for ESRI.    ...

After looking over the comment string, I went back to the original idea request in 2021 (Sarah .W) and we are still not any closer to a "simple" solution that allows users on AGOL using the sketch tool in their webapps (public or private) to simply export the sketch feature out in whatever vector format (.shp, etc) for easier collaboration and sharing of shape geometry that our users can define.  Was this on the roadmap for the AGOL team from the UC this year? I did not get a chance to watch the record videos from the UC yet.  ... View more

I have been tracking this thread and in the latest version of Pro and I do not see this option. Any other feedback from developers?  ... View more

Thanks for posting @JayHanson, I forget about this thread. It will be a year in October since @SarahWillett  posted about the idea / enhancement for AGOL.  @RussRoberts what is the current time line for finalizing and deploying this widget in AGOL?   This idea / tool is still very much needed in AGOL with custom WebApps. Allowing the AGOL community to have this function will help migrate stragglers that are still bound to GoogleEarth and the ease of sketching out polygons and sharing KML.  Keep us posted on the AGOL Teams progress 👍 ...

You mention "roadmap"...which usually refers to a function that is being developed in beta and is not "currently" available to the AGOL user community. Is that correct?  ... View more

Thomas is correct. This is too much information and ESRI needs to correct this for the AGOL community. For those who do not know what PII see the link below. Personally identifiable information - Wikipedia  As alias system is much needed and hopefully this is an issue that can get more traction.  ... View more

This request is long overdue ever since ESRI introduced Data Driven Pages in ArcGIS 10 (released on 06/30/2010). As of right now, the only other way that this can be accomplished is with a 3rd party extension from MapLogic. http://www.maplogic.com *Note to ESRI Moderator - Please add the "Petroleum" & "Natural Resources" tag to the idea as well. ...

See the following ESRI knowledge base article to delete all metadata BUT this only works using a Personal Geodatabase (.mdb) and NOT a File Geodatabase (.gdb) How To:  Delete metadata created with ArcCatalog http://support.esri.com/en/knowledgebase/techarticles/detail/18129 Has anyone tested (ArcGIS 10.1) the code sample that Hornbydd posted in his comment back in 2011? That piece of ESRI code dates back to 2001 as a ArcObject Sample for 8.3. Delete All Content http://edndoc.esri.com/arcobjects/8.3/samples/metadata/deleteallcontent.htm Just curious. ... View more

The only way around this is to use TerraGO's (GeoPDF) Publisher for ArcGIS. As I understand it, ESRI licenses this technology from TerraGO Technologies and is only able to provide the very basic to make a "GeospatialPDF". See the functionally matrix below to distinguish between a GeoPDF (TerraGO) vs. a GeospatialPDF (ESRI) http://www.terragotech.com/terrago-toolbar-functionality-matrix I know it sounds crazy as these terms should be the same thing (it has something to do with trademark and ownership of the name). Lauren - All the layers get exported from the TOC exactly as they are named and organized in a GeoPDF. I hope that helps. ... View more
