shrug-l: ArcGIS Pro 2.1 coming soon.... Are you ready?

[Tripp Corbin]

Esri has already put ArcGIS 2.1 in the hands of beta testers. This new
version promises to add even more capability to Esri's newest desktop GIS
application. With 2.1, ArcGIS Pro is almost at parity with the old ArcGIS
Desktop (ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcScene and ArcGlobe) we have all come to love
(and sometimes hate). So what new capabilities are included in this new
version? Well here are a few key ones I have noticed since I started beta
testing it. 

 

1.	The ability to work with web maps in a disconnected environment.
2.	Able to drag datasets from Windows Explore to add to a map, scene or
geoprocessing tool
3.	Tables can now be added to layouts
4.	Labeling speed is improved especially for multiple label classes
5.	Support for the PostGIS geography type has been added for Enterprise
Geodatabases
6.	The Construct Polygon tool from the ArcMap Advanced Editing Tools
toolbar has been added
7.	You can now create both Straight and Curved Annotation 

 

Esri is also beta testing the Utility Network Extension which will include
the geometric network functionality. So, ArcGIS Pro continues to improve and
evolve. I will try to keep everyone posted if I find any more improvements
to ArcGIS Pro 2.1. 

 

Have you started looking at ArcGIS Pro yet? I would strongly encourage you
to do so soon. It will ultimately replace ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcScene and
ArcGlobe. Don't believe me, just go look at Esri's product web pages and try
to find any mention of those older products. It is there but you have to
dig. 

 

SHRUG is providing a couple of great classes in conjunction with the Annual
GIS Workshop to help you learn more about how to use ArcGIS Pro. Go to
