I definitely get it, and change is hard. However, remember how out of sorts you were when you first learned ArcMap? I've helped dozens and dozens of people transition from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro, and it does take some time to relearn the user interface. However, almost everything under the hood is the same, but faster! It's worth making the move, and most folks I've helped do so actually think ArcGIS Pro is a huge improvement once they get used to it.
@@SteveAldrich I see what you're saying but I agree with the above poster. Look, change isn't hard for GIS users. I guarantee we're all using multiple specialized softwares in our daily workflows and we adapt to many changes and overhauls amongst all of our applications. But this version of Arc is, indeed, completely illogical.
@@aaronbarding5671 glad it was helpful! If you work in Indy, come to the State's GIS Day at the State capitol! It's a free event and there are good presentations, vendors, and conversation. It's November 20th this year (2024).
I am looking for couple hours to find a way to stop synchronizing the layout with the map. But of course, I didn't know that this is only available in Arcgis Pro, not in ArcGis for desktop :D So, they finally get it the right way! It is obvious for any GIS user that in the layout data display should not automatically change along with the view changes in the map view. Thanks for this video, I just realized now I've wasted couple hours for something that any GIS software has.
How did you do the slow zoom in with your mouse scroll button? When I use my mouse scroll it either does a big zoom in or a big zoom out with now slow zoom in between.
I have the same issue when zooming with a track pad, but if I use an external mouse the scroll wheel zooms more slowly. If you have a touch screen, that's usually better at slow zooming, too!
