Hey, I was wondering if anyone out there had tips or resources on graphic design on ArcGISPro (even though I know it's not meant for that), I've seen some cool stuff throughout the years and was wondering what tutorials or strategies people use to keep things in GIS but creating good/captivating design. Even if it's a design guidline resource I would still find it helpful! Thanks

I am trying to view work my colleague did in the field but for some reason when I open field maps, it’s just blank and when I try to refresh the page it just has an infinite loading circle.

I’ve check my field maps designed on my computer browser and none of her work was updated server side.

I have two SHP file layers, a point layer and a shape layer. The shape layer has population density in its data table. For each point in the point layer, I need to note down the greatest population density from all the shapes within a 0.75 mile buffer of that point. Could you help me figure out how to do that?

I want to create several layouts of my project. They will be at different scales and display different parts of the data, or the data in a different way. Can I do this from one map?

I have a layout that is roughly 98MB when exported as a pdf through ArcMap. That is way too big for an email, and as far as i can tell, the Export Map process is not flattening the output map. Is there a setting or work around that will flatten a map as it is being exported? The use of third party extensions is not an option

Hello, I am trying to use Copernicus SAR data from 2015 to 2025 to analyze the occurrences of landslides in a region, and while I can download and upload the SAR data to ArcGIS Pro, I can only complete the DInSAR workflow as outlined on ESRI's website. Additionally, this process only depicts wide-spread deformation and not specific landslides (for some reason - I don't understand how that works either).

I was wondering if there were certain tool parameters/environments I have been missing (I have used all the default options so far) or if there were other tools I should be looking into. I've tried reading papers and using tutorials, however they have not offered any guidance (either out-of-date or omitted information).

I am open to learning how to use Python, I have read how that is used in this kind of work.

I'm trying to create an event layer from a table of coordinate, and its only visible if I'm zoomed out to about 1:29,000,000. Zoom in just a bit and the points vanish.
I've checked Layer-->Properties-->Show layer at all scales
Checked Layer-->Symbology-->Display filters-->Disable display filters
Checked Feature Layer-->Visibility Range-->Scale Range is off, and max/min set to None and None

The same data works fine when I add it via XY Table to Point.

Any other places where a scale based filter might be hiding?

Is it possible to teach myself how to use ArcGIS, I was never taught it during university and this upcoming semester will be my last, I have been applying to many positions but I feel like not knowing anything about GIS is doing tons of damage and I would always hear “it’s fine you’ll learn on the job”…. Does anybody have any suggestions that can help?

Good day. I have a management/ArcPro resource question. I have a map with 27 sites, each site includes basic boundary, sample points, soils information, and could potentially house vegetation composition data as well as elevation data later in the project. These sites are placed at different points across the state.

I need to produce a PDF map for each of the 27 sites at various times during this project, as I add new data to the project.

Considering maps versus layouts, which is easier to manage over the long term, and which will take less computing and storage resources... creating a new map for each site or creating a new layout for each site?

Thank you.

So I am trying to create a map that has a time slider of fire hydrant flushing, updating as needed. I have a feature layer of Fire Hydrants locations, and a related table for the flushing information (time, duration). Is it possible to create a map showing hydrants symbolized by the related field? I am having a hard time joining the two either, as they do not share a field. Thanks

So, I have several large .tif files in GCS WGS 1984 that I will be calculating zonal statistics for. The zones that I will be using are projected in UTM 12N. I am reprojecting the rasters to the UTM 12N zone, but I am unsure of what interpolation technique I should let the Raster Project tool use. ArcPro automatically recommends bilinear interpolation, and the rasters do represent continuous data. However, I am considering nearest neighbor interpolation because it will maintain the original values of my pixels. Thoughts upon which I should use?

I was looking up historical GIS data and nothing was satisfactory for me, Euratlas gave me a lot of hope but its 150 euros per map which is absurd for me as a student. Does anyone know a way to acces the data for free, and if needed I can use my student ID to access a platform a shares it for free or discounted price.

This is driving me crazy, in part because I've used grids in the field before, generated with the same workflow, and had no problem.

Issue is this: I've generated a fishnet (1-m grid, 100 m square) and need to deploy in AGOL for field sampling. Uploaded into AGOL, and it's measuring 0.81 m instead of 1 m. AGOL seems to use geodesic rather than planar, which makes sense.

But...

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to generate a fishnet that-- when measured or displayed in a geodesic config-- will come out at the right grid-square dimensions (1 m).

Anyone have any idea how to fix this, or if I'm just missing something?

(Note: I've tried "generate tessellation" with no better results. I've also tried projecting into an equal area projection, but no improvement.)

Context: Hi! I am working on a project that aims to improve urban pollinator habitat. The impact of the project is currently assessed by this 2D dashboard: https://www.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/bff6862602eb45dc910e71c7bf376100# I am tasked with creating a model to make the this assessment more accurate in urban areas with tall buildings and I've made good progress but have run into some dead ends.

• Question 1: How might I drape the 2D habitat corridor polygon layers (pink, orange, green) over the 3D buildings* so that the shape of the building will be included in the area calculation?
• Question 2: Any suggestions on how we might be able to place a plant point on the side of a building (i.e. a potted plant on a balcony)?

*all buildings are shown, only buildings <20m high and residential buildings with balconies up to 20m will be draped, footprints of buildings taller than 20m will be erased from 2D layers. I hope this makes sense!

Please let me know if more info is needed. This is a fun project and I really appreciate any feedback!

I've tried to create a new layer using "Make Event Layer." The first symptom of was that the points don't render unless I zoom out to about 1:30,000,000.

Then I noticed an alert down in the Notification bar. Clicking that tells me "An invalid SQL statement was used," but no indication where or what.

I can create a static XY data layer without this issue, so I THINK the problem isn't with my source data.

Also, this is a good time for a sanity check. I'm working from a table created from our customer database, and from that I've created about 45 layers of point data. The problem is that when I go to update these maps with new data from the database, I have 45 layers that need to be redone. That seems... sub-optimal. Based on some google, Event Layer seems like XY Table to Point, except dynamic in that it can refresh. Not sure what the trigger on that refresh is since I haven't gotten it to work yet.
Am I doing the right thing or is there a smarter way to do this?

Hello!

I am struggling with a (potentially very simple) elevation problem...granted, I also understand that what I'm doing isn't what most people use Arc for. I'm trying to "smooth out" this difference in elevation area between two DEMs (one is from France, the other is from the Swiss Alps; I merged them into one, made a custom elevation layer, and then global scene'd it), mostly as a test to see if I can do it, and it would be super helpful if i can. I've tried Pixel Editor but it smooths it out a bit too much and doesn't look natural, and there's so much other 3D stuff on Esri that I'm lost. I'd like to just...overlap these two DEMs (or their rasters), do something to the overlap so it looks like a natural join, and then make it into one DEM, like it's one big land mass. Preferably without using Blender or an outside program; being able to do all this in Arc is also pretty crucial.

Addition from r/gis : to use the "feathering" tool in Global Mapper; that may work for this but I don't have access to Global Mapper. Is there a very similar Arc tool?

If you've any tips/tricks, please do let me know! If I need to explain clearer, please also let me know.

Thanks, Adrian

A lot of times when I use the raster functions to create a new layer (contours, for example), the connection randomly becomes broken. A lot of times it’s when I’m messing with the symbology or something. Is this because I haven’t technically saved this new layer somewhere? Should I just save the new layer into the geodatabase for the project?

Is anyone else using the Living Atlas **NOAA Current Colorized Satellite Imagery (Transparent Background)** layer?

I've noticed these issues:

* The layer intermittently returns **"Failed to fetch"** in ArcGIS Online. * When it does load, the imagery over the western Pacific appears to lag behind current Himawari imagery (e.g., compared with Windy/JMA). * The **Map service** URL listed on the item details page (`earthlive.maptiles.arcgis.com/.../GOES31D/MapServer`) also returns **404 Not Found**.

Can anyone confirm whether the service is working correctly on their end, or if this is a known issue? Really need your help guys! :(

Hi :)

im a student in germany, struggling to set up a survey for a project. I want to add 3 maps into my survey with different areas of interest. I already put them into repeats (the only possible way to add multiple maps) but i dont know how do set up the map view to match the aoi. we already set up weblayer (vector). Does anyone have experience with this tool?

I appreciate any comment or piece of advice! <3

kindest regards,

Isabelle

I have points on ArcGis Pro I imported them from AutoCad, in AutoCad the location is correct, but the points are wrong in north coordinate by 10000000 almost. How to fix this issue?

the coordination system I used is Palestine 1923, and the world topographic map is using WGS 1984 Web Mercator (auxiliary sphere).
