See what's new and improved in ArcGIS Pro 3.4.

Video overview

This video was created by the ArcGIS Pro development teams and the product support teams to highlight new functionality in this release.

Highlights

The Highlights section includes featured new functionality.

Create a definition query from a feature layer selection

The new Generate Definition Query From Selection geoprocessing tool is included in the Layers and Table Views toolset of the Data Management toolbox. If you have an active selection of features on a map or scene, you can generate a definition query that only includes the selected features. You can also filter the selected features using field values from the selection.

Control symbol class visibility for Unique Values symbology

Unique values symbology draws nominal data in feature layers with a different symbol for each class. You can now control the visibility of each symbol class independently using either the Symbology pane for a single layer or the Contents pane of the map for multiple map layers.

Two symbol classes are turned off in the Symbology pane and no longer draw on the map.

Set the time period for offline license checkout

As an ArcGIS Online organization administrator, you can specify the number of days that ArcGIS Pro licenses can be taken offline. As an organization member with access to ArcGIS Pro, you can check out a license for any number of days up to the limit set by the administrator. This capability is available with the November 2024 ArcGIS Online update.

Top image: An ArcGIS Online administrator sets a 30-day limit for ArcGIS Pro offline licenses. Bottom image: An ArcGIS Pro user may only need to check out the license for 10 days.

Share 3D Tiles to ArcGIS Enterprise

You can share 3D Tiles datasets as web layers to ArcGIS Enterprise 11.4 and later. 3D Tiles is an OGC standard that enables the visualization of large-scale 3D content. A web layer can be shared from a 3D Tiles layer within a scene. You can also publish a web layer that directly references a 3D Tiles dataset in a folder or cloud storage location registered as a data store with the server. On ArcGIS Enterprise, 3D Tiles layers are visualized as integrated meshes or 3D objects. These web layers can be incorporated into web scenes, providing dynamic 3D visualizations that support analysis and decision making.

Create combo charts

Combo charts combine bar and line series in a single chart. They allow you to choose the appropriate series type for your data and compare series of different types. Combo charts also support dual y-axes, which are useful for exploring relationships between series of different scales.

Work with hyperspectral imagery

Hyperspectral imagery comprises hundreds of contiguous bands across the electromagnetic spectrum. ArcGIS Pro now supports hyperspectral images stored in standard raster formats, such as TIFF and ENVI, as well as EMIT imagery stored in NetCDF format, and AVIRIS imagery stored in ENVI format.

A common way to add hyperspectral data to a map is from the Map tab on the ribbon. Click the Add Data drop-down arrow (the bottom half of the split button), and select Hyperspectral Data. The Add Hyperspectral Data dialog box appears and you can browse to a file.

Support for foundational models in AI for imagery and text

You can fine-tune geospatial foundation models, such as Prithvi and ClimaX, using the Train Deep Learning Model tool in the Image Analyst toolbox.

• Prithvi, developed by NASA and IBM, is trained on Harmonized Landsat & Sentinel (HLS) data and supports 30-meter global land observations. It can be fine-tuned for tasks such as crop classification, burn scar segmentation, and flood segmentation on your own data, or used as a backbone for object detection and pixel classification tasks on remote sensing data.
• ClimaX specializes in weather and climate modeling, handling tasks such as temperature forecasting and downscaling climate projections.

For text analysis, you can use large language models (LLMs) through in-context learning. This uses simple prompts and a few training examples. The text analysis tools can now use Mistral, an open-source LLM, to train and use models for text classification, text transformation, and entity recognition tasks. You can also integrate third-party LLMs such as GPT and Llama by creating custom deep learning packages using Python NLP functions.

Attribute rules

• When you create attribute rules, you can specify fields that trigger an immediate calculation and constraint rule when edited. The rule does not run unless the field is edited.
• Three common attribute rules—Generate ID, Generate Spatial Join, and Generate Symbol Rotation—can be authored with attribute rule templates. Templates provide a dialog box with parameters to set, and they generate the appropriate Arcade expression for the attribute rule.

Cloud data warehouses

• You can view and publish features that are stored in the geometry data type in Snowflake.

Versioning

• The Versioning tab now appears on the ribbon when any layer in a map references a version-enabled dataset. You can choose the active data source from a drop-down list.

  

Indoor positioning

• Configuration options were added to IPS-aware maps to manage path snapping, position smoothing, fallback to GNSS, and Apple indoor positioning support (if available). These options are also supported in ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Native Apps.
• IPS-aware maps, including positioning data, can be included in mobile map packages (.mmpk) for offline use. This capability is also supported in ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Native Apps.
• You can update an existing indoor positioning dataset or data service without reconfiguring IPS-awareness; that is, without creating new datasets or services and without updating web maps linked to services.
• Indoor positioning datasets are supported in 3D scenes for enhanced visualization.

  

Geoprocessing tools

• You can select multiple annotation features with the Annotation tool , and move, rotate, or resize them. If annotation features have leader lines, their anchor points remain fixed.
• In the Error Inspector pane, the Pan To Selection command (Ctrl+Shift+N) was added to the toolbar. The keyboard shortcut Ctrl+N was assigned to the Pan To command that is available on the context menu for the current row.
• The Traverse tool supports courses entered with internal angles as well as directions.
• Traverse overrides persist while the traverse is being actively entered.

Parcel fabric

• The parcel fabric can be shared from a file or mobile geodatabase to ArcGIS Online. Some capabilities, such as attribute rules and geodatabase topology, are not available.
• You can search for parcel records by creating a custom query in the Manage Records pane. Record queries can be moved up or down and reordered in the pane.
• When points are moved, parcel edge topology can be set to maintain the collinearity and tangency of parcel lines and curves. Vertices added by topology validation do not affect lines and curves when points are moved.
• When adding the parcel fabric to a new map, you can choose to add the parcel fabric layers for editing or for publication. Adding parcel fabric layers for publication adds additional layers to the map and makes fields that are required for publication visible.
