ArcGIS Pro 2.6 is now available<\/a>, and included are exciting new capabilities for the ArcGIS Pro SDK for .NET<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the highlights of the release with links to new documentation and resources.<\/p>\n

Map Authoring API<\/h2>\n

Pro\u2019s new Graphics Layers<\/a> capability provides users the ability to make graphic and text notations on a map or layout that highlight particular areas or label places, without creating features.<\/p>\n

At 2.6, developers can now create and manage graphics layers in ArcGIS Pro.\u00a0 The SDK provides access to insert, update and delete graphic elements including text elements, as well as update their geometry and symbology. \u00a0Developers can also manage element selection, grouping, alignment, distribution and ordering.<\/p>\n

You can learn more in the new ProConcepts Graphics Layers<\/a> document, and get code snippets for many of the standard approaches for working with the graphics layer in the ProSnippets Graphics Layers<\/a> doc.\u00a0 There\u2019s also a new community sample<\/a> available for you to quickly get started.<\/p>\n

Editing API<\/h2>\n

Layer Snap Modes are a new editing capability at 2.6.\u00a0 Developers can now provide improved snapping control by setting the target layer of interest, building additional accuracy and efficiency into custom editing workflows.<\/p>\n

To help you get started, Layer Snap Modes are discussed in a new section in the ProConcepts Editing<\/a> document, as well as a new community sample<\/a> to try it out.<\/p>\n

Other API Enhancements and Updates<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s also been updates to other Pro APIs and capabilities of the SDK at 2.6.<\/p>\n

Developers can now configure add-ins to store custom application settings in Roaming User Profiles<\/a>.\u00a0 This allows a user to access their custom Pro settings from any machine on the user\u2019s network.<\/p>\n

Developers can test the pre-release<\/em> Parcel Fabric API, first available at 2.5, for building of record-driven workflows with parcel-aware editing capabilities.\u00a0 There are new methods for testing layer participation in parcel fabric and creating and clearing parcel records.\u00a0 More information is available in the ProConcepts Parcel Fabric<\/a> document and code snippets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also new at 2.6, the document, ProConcepts Asynchronous Programming in ArcGIS Pro<\/a> is available.\u00a0 It covers various asynchronous programming techniques for use with Pro add-in, and compliments introductory information available in the\u00a0ProConcepts Framework<\/a> document.<\/p>\n

Check out all of the information resources on the SDK documentation site<\/a> with all the concept and guide documents and links to the many community samples.<\/p>\n

Finally, for a full listing of all the API changes, see the What\u2019s New for Developers at 2.6<\/a> page in the Pro API reference.<\/p>\n

Collaborate and Share your Feedback<\/h2>\n

As always, we invite you to send us your feedback and needs for the Pro SDK.\u00a0 Let us know, find out more and collaborate with others in the GeoNet Pro SDK Group<\/a>.\u00a0 The group allows developers an opportunity to ask technical questions and search for answers on existing threads, and provide feedback on the SDK.\u00a0 We look forward to hearing about your new work with 2.6!<\/p>\n

For more information on all the exciting updates in ArcGIS Pro 2.6, see the What\u2019s New in ArcGIS Pro page<\/a>, which also includes the video below with many highlights.\u00a0 It can give you lots of new ideas for using and extending Pro 2.6.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"youtube","start_time":"0","end_time":"","youtube_video_url":"
