See what's new and improved in ArcGIS Pro 3.3

Video Overview

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

Flood Simulation

You can perform flood simulation in 3D scenes using elevation surfaces and buildings to realistically model water flow. After defining a flood scenario for an area of interest, you can configure the following behaviors:

• How water is added through rainfall, water source points, and initial depth
• How barriers and channels redirect flow
• How water is removed by infiltration and evaporation

The definition of a flood simulation scenario is stored in a simulation layer and appears in a new category in the scene's Contents pane.

When you run a simulation, the area of interest is scanned, and an elevation surface raster is created at the analysis processing cell size. Water is added to each cell and moved over the surface using shallow water equations. You can reconfigure the simulation with what-if scenarios—for example, to add more rain or extra barriers—and compare the results. You can use symbology to represent water flow rate or water depth.

Finally, you can export the analysis results as a series of raster images that capture snapshots in time. These images can be used to generate reports, statistics, and maps.

Presentations

Presentations are a new project item that allow you to organize maps, scenes, text, images, and videos and display them in full-screen mode. You can use presentations to tell the story of a project from within ArcGIS Pro.

A presentation consists of a series of pages. Each page features selected content, such as a map or image, and page properties, which include transitions, duration, and background color. Pages can be turned off and on, reordered, or locked in the Contents pane. Map pages can be activated and navigated, and allow you to control layer visibility.

To play a presentation, you activate Full Screen mode and move through the pages with forward and back buttons. In Full Screen mode, maps and scenes can be navigated and explored with pop-ups.

You can share a presentation as a PDF, a video, or a collection of images.

Add a PDF to a Map

Standard and georeferenced PDF documents can be used in imagery and mapping workflows. An individual page of a PDF can be added as a raster layer to a map or scene with the Add Data command, from the Catalog pane, or from the file system.

PDF layers can be visualized, enhanced, georeferenced, and analyzed using the same raster functions and geoprocessing tools that work on other raster layers. Annotation, labeling, attribute edits, and spatial reference updates can be saved to the source file. PDF layers can be exported to other raster formats and shared as web layers.

The PDF Options dialog box allows you to choose the page of the file to add, and to specify a resolution and a color mode.

Hyperlinks in Layouts and Reports

Hyperlinks are now supported in text for layouts and reports. If a URL or full file path is added to a text element, it is automatically recognized and linked. URLs and paths in layout table frames and report text are also recognized and tagged automatically.

You can hyperlink any layout or report text using the new Hyperlink window. Existing hyperlinks can also be updated in this window. When editing inline text, you can access the Hyperlink window on the Text tab of the ribbon, from the text element's context menu, or with the Ctrl+K shortcut.

Hyperlinks are included in PDF exports unless the Output as image option is selected. (This option rasterizes all text.)

Export Attachments

The Export Attachments geoprocessing tool exports file attachments from the records of a geodatabase feature class or table to a specified folder. Attachments can also be exported from applicable feature services. The tool honors selected features in an active map or selected rows in a table. Invalid characters that cannot be used to rename files are replaced with underscores or other special characters as needed.

File attachments exported from a dataset of airports are grouped in folders based on a field name in the input data. The output file names concatenate selected fields from the input data.

Convert Schema Report

The Convert Schema Report geoprocessing tool converts the output of the Generate Schema Report geoprocessing tool to another file format (.xlsx, .pdf, .html, .json, or .xml). Converting a schema report allows you to make substantial schema changes in a schema report and incorporate them in a new geodatabase. For example, you can reorder fields in several feature classes, make their spatial references match, assign new domain values to a number of fields, and output those schema changes to a new geodatabase.

Classify Size or Color Variables with Unique Values Symbology

You can classify categorical data with unique values symbology by specifying a size variable or color variable to combine multiple visualization techniques. This is similar to the Quantity by category symbology option in ArcMap.

For example, in a layer of point features representing different types of power plants, you can classify plants by type and use symbol size to show power capacity. This allows you to see the variance in capacity by plant type.
