Did you click it? If not, you should.<\/p>\n

This button unlocks an editing capability that was introduced in ArcGIS Pro 2.7 called Inference. It allows you to quickly create regular shaped features while sketching. Think right angles and aligned features. This will be especially helpful for those of you who work with built environments such as floor plans, site plans, building footprints, or any project where you need to quickly create squared up and aligned features.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll start with an example: creating a line. This simple example illustrates the core features of Inference, but before working with Inference, you need to prepare the map where you are working.<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/h3>\n

Since Inference works in conjunction with Snapping, you will turn on Snapping<\/strong> and the Snapping Agents<\/strong>. At a minimum, turn on the Edge<\/strong> and Intersection<\/strong> snapping agents, as well as the Snap to sketch<\/strong> setting.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1297822,"id":1297822,"title":"snapping1new","filename":"snapping1new-1.png","filesize":38884,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/snapping1new-1.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/data-management\/introducing-editing-with-inference\/snapping1new-2","alt":"Shows snapping agents turned on","author":"233992","description":"","caption":"","name":"snapping1new-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1240942,"date":"2021-07-15 14:43:52","modified":"2021-07-15 14:44:13","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":425,"height":285,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/snapping1new-1-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/snapping1new-1.png","medium-width":389,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/snapping1new-1.png","medium_large-width":425,"medium_large-height":285,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/snapping1new-1.png","large-width":425,"large-height":285,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/snapping1new-1.png","1536x1536-width":425,"1536x1536-height":285,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/snapping1new-1.png","2048x2048-width":425,"2048x2048-height":285,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/snapping1new-1.png","card_image-width":425,"card_image-height":285,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/snapping1new-1.png","wide_image-width":425,"wide_image-height":285}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1297742,"id":1297742,"title":"snapping2","filename":"snapping2.png","filesize":4698,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/snapping2.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/data-management\/introducing-editing-with-inference\/snapping2","alt":"Shows the snapping settings dialog","author":"233992","description":"","caption":"","name":"snapping2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1240942,"date":"2021-07-15 14:32:34","modified":"2021-07-15 14:32:52","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":425,"height":285,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/snapping2-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/snapping2.png","medium-width":389,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/snapping2.png","medium_large-width":425,"medium_large-height":285,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/snapping2.png","large-width":425,"large-height":285,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/snapping2.png","1536x1536-width":425,"1536x1536-height":285,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/snapping2.png","2048x2048-width":425,"2048x2048-height":285,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/snapping2.png","card_image-width":425,"card_image-height":285,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/snapping2.png","wide_image-width":425,"wide_image-height":285}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Other capabilities<\/h3>\n

With Inference, you can infer from more than just the current sketch, and I\u2019ll be covering these capabilities in future articles. For now, here is a list of all the capabilities:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Constrain segments parallel or perpendicular when snapped to an existing line or polygon segment<\/li>\n
  • Constrain segments perpendicular to an existing line or polygon segment on the initial click when using the Right Angle Line tool<\/li>\n
  • Constrain tangent arcs at 45 degree intervals<\/li>\n
  • Snap to implied points of intersection of the current segment and an existing line segment<\/li>\n
  • Snap to implied points of intersection perpendicular to the current segment and other segments on the same sketch<\/li>\n
  • Create a right angle between two points<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The metaphorical doorway is now open. I welcome you to find new and interesting ways to use Inference in your daily work. If you find something useful and want to share with others, let us know in the comments. Let Inference be your guide to creating squared up and aligned \u00a0features.<\/p>\n"}],"authors":[{"ID":233992,"user_firstname":"Scott","user_lastname":"Harris","nickname":"Scott Harris","user_nicename":"sharris","display_name":"Scott Harris","user_email":"SHarris@esri.com","user_url":"","user_registered":"2021-05-24 22:30:43","user_description":"I am a Product Engineer for the ArcGIS Pro Editing team.

I have been working in the GIS field since early the early 2000\u2019s. I received a Master of Science degree in Geoenvironmental Studies from Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania in 2013 with a focus on land use planning and remote sensing. I started at Esri in 2014, where I worked in Support Services helping users succeed with Esri software, and now I help design the Editing experience in ArcGIS Pro.","url":""}]}},"text_date":"June 23, 2021","author_name":"Scott Harris","author_page":false,"custom_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Newsroom-Keyart-Wide-1920-x-1080.jpg","primary_product":"ArcGIS Pro","tag_data":[{"term_id":27971,"name":"editing","slug":"editing","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":27971,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":166,"filter":"raw"}],"category_data":[{"term_id":23851,"name":"Data Management","slug":"data-management","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":23851,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":921,"filter":"raw"}],"product_data":[{"term_id":36561,"name":"ArcGIS Pro","slug":"arcgis-pro","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":36561,"taxonomy":"product","description":"","parent":0,"count":2039,"filter":"raw"}],"primary_product_link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/?s=#&products=arcgis-pro","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog\/1240942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/blog"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/233992"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1240942"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog\/1240942\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1240942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1240942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1240942"},{"taxonomy":"industry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/industry?post=1240942"},{"taxonomy":"product","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?post=1240942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
