Hi all, I experimented with ArcGIS Pro as well when it first came out. I am normally pretty comfortable with new software and new interfaces but for some reason, ArcGIS Pro just did not seem to make much sense to me. I am not sure if it was because I didn't "Read the Manual" or if I just had too much to do to really spend some time on the new interface. I like the idea of it, but at the time when I was testing it, I think it needed some work. I then decided to just wait until most of the bugs and issues were worked out. Guessing that someday I will need to go back to it :) Jessica Gooch Water Resources Asset Manager City of Portland, ME [log in to unmask] 207.874.8495 <[log in to unmask]> ***please don't print this email unless you REALLY have too**** On Fri, Mar 25, 2016 at 10:08 AM, Jarlath P.M.
