What do you give tools that ask for a mxd?

The Create Map Tile Package tool sees the map in the project and gives a drop down but Manage Tile Cache does not and I can find nothing it likes.

What I am saying is what if you had pro only.  You can not use this tool?  Seems like it did not get updated.  I guess only way is to create the map in ArcMap then run it in Pro.  Weird.

In order to have pro, you need a license for arcmap...soooo it should be or have been installed.

if you park your mouse over the little 'i's the context sensitive help appears.

You can read about them in detail here....

but it is looking for raster dataset, mosaic dataset, or a map document.

ArcGIS Pro at 1.2 is not yet a mature product.  I also ran into this problem, and it's annoying.  It would be nice if Esri updated the ArcGIS Pro geoprocessing tools to accept the active map or a map file (MAPX) instead of MXD.
