This new version should be available for you to download now. ArcGIS Pro 2.1 continues the trend of moving closer to parity with ArcMap and ArcCatalog as far as available tools and functionality. Because ArcGIS Pro is a native 64-bit application (ArcMap and ArcCatalog are 32 bit), it generally out performs ArcMap when performing the same operations. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So, what can you expect from this new release: <o:p></o:p></p><ol style='margin-top:0in' start=1 type=1><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'>Support for <a href="http://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/data/utility-network/what-is-a-utility-network-.htm">Utility Networks</a>.

If you are using ArcGIS Pro as your primary desktop GIS application, you may want to test 2.1 before you put it into full production. I did beta test this version and did find the beta version to be a bit more prone to crashing than 2.0. However, I have not had a chance to test the final release version. So, it might be better. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If you have not looked at ArcGIS Pro yet, I strongly encourage you to do so. It will replace ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcScene and ArcGlobe in the not too distant future. So, it is not a matter of if you will have to migrate, it is a matter of when. ArcGIS Pro is a completely different animal so do not get caught unprepared. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>Tripp Corbin, MCP, GISP</span></i></b><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'> </span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>| Chief Executive Officer</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D'><br></span><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#2F5496'><a href="http://www.egisassociates.com/"><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#2F5496'>eGIS Associates, Inc.</span></a></span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#4472C4'><a href="mailto:tcorbin@egisassociates.com"><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#4472C4'>tcorbin@egisassociates.com</span></a></span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'> | </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#4472C4'><a href="www.egisassociates.com"><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#4472C4'>www.egisassociates.com</span></a></span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'> </span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>678-710-9710 ext 0021 | 678-672-8970 Direct Dial<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>Esri Certified Desktop Professional | Esri Certified Enterprise System Design Associate<o:p></o:p></span></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td style='padding:3.75pt 3.75pt 3.75pt 3.75pt'><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></td><td style='padding:3.75pt 3.75pt 3.75pt 3.75pt'><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></td><td style='padding:3.75pt 3.75pt 3.75pt 3.75pt'><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></td><td style='padding:3.75pt 3.75pt 3.75pt 3.75pt'><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>Pre-order my new </span><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#4472C4'><a href="https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/arcgis-pro-cookbook"><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#4472C4'>ArcGIS Pro Cookbook</span></a></span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'> now & don’t forget about </span><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#4472C4'><a href="https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/learning-arcgis-pro"><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#4472C4'>Learning ArcGIS Pro</span></a></span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 style='border-collapse:collapse'><tr><td width=187 valign=top style='width:1.95in;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/arcgis-pro-cookbook"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black;text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=160 height=197 style='width:1.6666in;height:2.052in' id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image002.jpg@01D39122.3B394180" alt="cid:image002.jpg@01D39122.3B394180"></span></a><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></td><td width=162 valign=top style='width:121.5pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/learning-arcgis-pro"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black;text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=161 height=198 style='width:1.677in;height:2.0625in' id="Picture_x0020_2" src="cid:image004.jpg@01D39122.3B394180" alt="cid:image004.jpg@01D39122.3B394180"></span></a><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
