This new version, 2.3, contains a wealth of improvements, I think you will like. Just to mention a few:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Now you can open a new blank project without a template. This means all those project files that normally are created do not get generated. This makes it much easier to use ArcGIS Pro as a management tool like ArcCatalog.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>You can set ArcGIS Pro to automatically open a specified project. If you only use one project this could make your like a little easier and ArcGIS Pro start a little faster. <o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>The Split edit tool now allows you to select existing features to split a polygon into multiple parts. This gives it functionality similar to the Split tool on the Advanced Editing toolbar in ArcMap. I have been waiting on this one for a long time. <o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Creating reports in ArcGIS Pro is now possible.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Legend Symbol patches for more than just simple rectangles is now supported in ArcGIS Pro<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Divide edit tool added for splitting a polygon in to multiple parts based on number of splits, distance, area and so on.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Dimension Annotation has been added to ArcGIS Pro<o:p></o:p></li></ul><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>There are many more. I just picked a few improvements I was excited to see. For more information, watch the video I just posted to the eGIS YouTube channel at <a href="https://youtu.be/z087o7SlIDQ">https://youtu.be/z087o7SlIDQ</a>. You can also find more information in the ArcGIS Pro help at <a href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/get-started/whats-new-in-arcgis-pro.htm">https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/get-started/whats-new-in-arcgis-pro.htm</a>. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In my opinion, ArcGIS Pro has had the functionality 90% of most users need for a while now. This new release just makes it even better and is getting closer so that the remaining 10% will be able to consider moving over to it. I think back to when ArcGIS was first released around 1999 and how long it took to really get a stable working version. Looks like ArcGIS Pro is coming along even faster than ArcMap did. Of course it still does have its moments and if you do not have beefy enough hardware don’t even think about using ArcGIS Pro. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Speaking of hardware, I have been running ArcGIS (both Map and Pro) on a new Ryzen 7 2700x system with an NVIDIA RTX 2060 for about 2 weeks now with good success. Plan to post some benchmarks and testing results in the not too distant future for anyone that is interested. <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 | </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>678-672-8970 Direct Dial</span><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'>Esri Certified Desktop Professional | Esri Certified Enterprise System Design Associate<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><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/eGISAssociates"><span style='color:blue'>YouTube</span></a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/egisassociates"><span style='color:blue'>Facebook</span></a> | <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/egis-associates-inc"><span style='color:blue'>LinkedIn</span></a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/egisassociates"><span style='color:blue'>Twitter</span></a> | <a href="https://www.patreon.com/egisassociates"><span style='color:blue'>Patreon</span></a><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'>Order my </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-2x-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><table class=MsoTableGrid border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 style='margin-left:5.4pt;border-collapse:collapse;border:none'><tr><td width=187 valign=top style='width:1.95in;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'></td><td width=162 valign=top style='width:121.5pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'></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>
