At the ArcGIS Pro 3.3 release, the ArcGIS Production Mapping extension has been enhanced to include a new Glossary Table element and the product data files have been updated. Enhancements were also made to the Topographic Production toolbox, which is included in ArcGIS Pro when the Production Mapping extension is licensed.<\/p>\n

Glossary Table<\/h2>\n

The Glossary Table element is simply a table with terms and definitions. Typically, they contain the translation for a term in each of its rows and are found on layouts.<\/p>\n

Prior to this release, the terms in these rows were each a layer in the Contents pane of ArcGIS Pro. This could result in challenges when adjusting the Glossary Table element or updating values because some settings, such as positioning, for a layer could impact another layer. You\u2019d also need to hunt a bit amongst what can become an extensive list for the layer that you want to modify.<\/p>\n

Now, the element can be dropped in from the Additional Surrounds gallery in the Topographic section.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2340652,"id":2340652,"title":"AdditionalSurrounds-GlossaryTable","filename":"AdditionalSurrounds-GlossaryTable.png","filesize":29151,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/05\/AdditionalSurrounds-GlossaryTable.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/mapping\/whats-new-for-arcgis-defense-mapping-in-arcgis-pro-3-3\/additionalsurrounds-glossarytable","alt":"ArcGIS Production Mapping and Defense Mapping includes the Glossary Table element in the Additional Surrounds gallery Topographic section","author":"13131","description":"","caption":"","name":"additionalsurrounds-glossarytable","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2340482,"date":"2024-05-15 17:29:22","modified":"2024-05-15 23:43:04","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":500,"height":508,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/05\/AdditionalSurrounds-GlossaryTable-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/05\/AdditionalSurrounds-GlossaryTable.png","medium-width":257,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/05\/AdditionalSurrounds-GlossaryTable.png","medium_large-width":500,"medium_large-height":508,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/05\/AdditionalSurrounds-GlossaryTable.png","large-width":500,"large-height":508,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/05\/AdditionalSurrounds-GlossaryTable.png","1536x1536-width":500,"1536x1536-height":508,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/05\/AdditionalSurrounds-GlossaryTable.png","2048x2048-width":500,"2048x2048-height":508,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/05\/AdditionalSurrounds-GlossaryTable-458x465.png","card_image-width":458,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/05\/AdditionalSurrounds-GlossaryTable.png","wide_image-width":500,"wide_image-height":508}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/pro.arcgis.com\/en\/pro-app\/latest\/help\/production\/production-mapping\/glossary-table.htm"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
