feel free to arrange it to best suit you. \u00a0While we&#8217;re looking at this pane, note the Browse and Save icons in the upper-right corner. \u00a0These can be used to save and open any scripts you create (with an .scr extension). \u00a0You&#8217;ll also notice the &#8220;Think Time&#8221; option at the bottom of the pane. \u00a0This allows you to &#8220;think&#8221;, or pause, for a specified interval between script commands. \u00a0We&#8217;ll discuss this value more a little later.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Pro_PerfTools_ScriptView.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-73161\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Pro_PerfTools_ScriptView-278x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"278\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>For the purposes of this demo, you&#8217;ll need some <a href=\"https:\/\/pro.arcgis.com\/en\/pro-app\/help\/mapping\/navigation\/bookmarks.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spatial bookmarks saved<\/a> for your map or globe view. \u00a0We&#8217;ll use the zoom to bookmarks scripting capabilities within PerfTools to return performance measures for navigating between the various bookmarks.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Pro_PerfTools_SpatialBookmarks.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-73170\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Pro_PerfTools_SpatialBookmarks-234x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"234\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>In the Script View pane, enter the following command: <strong>ZoomToBookmark [Bookmark Name]<\/strong>. \u00a0You&#8217;ll see from the example below, we&#8217;re zooming to the bookmarks named &#8220;River View&#8221;

option on the Script View pane before executing, or you&#8217;ll need to select the &#8220;Log View&#8221; pane in the Views group of the PerfTools ribbon. \u00a0This will open the following window:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Pro_PerfTools_LogView.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-73189\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Pro_PerfTools_LogView-276x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"276\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>The results above show us that ArcGIS Pro took 8.99 seconds to navigate to and render the &#8220;River View&#8221;

menu on the ribbon.<\/li>\n<li>In the left menu, select &#8220;Options&#8221;. \u00a0The Options pane appears.<\/li>\n<li>Under the Application group, select &#8220;Navigation&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>The option for Transition time appears as follows:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Pro_NavigationTransitionOptions.png\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-73333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Pro_NavigationTransitionOptions-300x214.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>You can adjust the slider or directly enter a transition time value to suit your preferences.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These brief instructions should provide you with the basics to explore rendering timings in your own ArcGIS Pro projects. \u00a0Feel free to dive in, explore, and leave comments or questions.<\/p>\n"}],"authors":[{"ID":7661,"user_firstname":"Ian","user_lastname":"Sims","nickname":"Ian Sims","user_nicename":"isims_perfeng","display_name":"Ian Sims","user_email":"isims@esri.com","user_url":"","user_registered":"2018-03-26 19:39:49","user_description":"Esri Performance Engineering.
