Key Enhancements in ArcGIS Pro 3.5

Productivity, Performance, and Quality Boosts

Right off the bat, ArcGIS Pro 3.5 focuses on making your workflows smoother and faster. You’ll notice several improvements, including:

• A new memory workspace button directly in geoprocessing tools for more efficient data handling.
• The introduction of dual scale bars in layouts, offering more flexibility in map presentation.
• Enhanced support for working with Apache Parquet files and NoSQL databases like Elastic Search and Open Search, broadening your data integration capabilities.

Spatial Clause for Definition Queries

Defining your data just got more precise. ArcGIS Pro 3.5 allows you to build a spatial definition query by adding a spatial clause, giving you finer control over the features you’re working with.

Customizable Panel Sets

Organize your workspace your way! The new Panel Sets feature lets you save custom configurations of visible panes and easily reopen them later, streamlining your project setup.

Improved Vertex and Node Visualization

Visualizing network components is now clearer. There’s a new way to quickly overlay vertices, nodes, pseudo-nodes, dangles, and curved segments, making network analysis and editing more intuitive.

Utility Network Migration Wizard

Migrating your utility networks is now simpler with the new Utility Network Migration Wizard. This guided process will help you transition your existing networks into the ArcGIS Utility Network model more efficiently.

Enhanced Histogram Tab for Symbology

The symbology pane sees improvements to its Histogram tab, providing additional capabilities for class-based symbology. This means more control and better visual representation of your classified data.

Upgrades to the Calculate Field Tool

The indispensable Calculate Field tool has received numerous enhancements in ArcGIS Pro 3.5, making data manipulation and updates even more powerful and flexible.

New Metadata Editor

Managing your geospatial metadata is crucial, and ArcGIS Pro 3.5 introduces a brand new Metadata Editor to improve this workflow.

Portal Projects for Enhanced Collaboration

Collaboration gets a boost with Portal Projects. You can now store an ArcGIS Pro project in an ArcGIS Enterprise portal (versions 11.4 or 11.5) and easily share it with others in your organization, fostering better teamwork.

COGO Reader for Parcel Fabric

For those working with land records, a new COGO (Coordinate Geometry) reader has been added for the parcel fabric, aiding in the input and management of survey data.

New Geoprocessing Tool: Estimate Time To Event

A noteworthy addition to the geoprocessing toolbox is the Estimate Time To Event tool, opening up new possibilities for time-sensitive spatial analysis.

These are just some of the many updates in ArcGIS Pro 3.5. This release continues to build on Esri’s commitment to providing a powerful and user-friendly GIS platform. Be sure to explore these features to enhance your geospatial workflows!
