What's new in ArcGIS Pro 3.7

In ArcGIS Pro 3.7, performance improvements were made in many areas of the application. Of special note is a new Analyze Map pane for evaluating map drawing performance.

Productivity enhancements include new editing tools, custom toolbars for maps and other views, and the ability for administrators to create system favorites for their organization. Coordinate systems were reorganized by geographic categories, making them easier to find. You can search for and alias portal connections on the redesigned Portals page.

Important new developments include file-based knowledge graphs, a telecom domain network for the utility network, and a set of geoAI tools that support embeddings-based analysis.

Video overview

This video was created by the ArcGIS Pro development teams and the product support teams to highlight new functionality in this release.

Highlights

Control layer visibility by map frame

You can turn layers on and off in a map frame in a layout without impacting other map frames or the map view. Map frames with layer visibility overrides can display layers independently of the map view. This eliminates the need to create a new map each time you need to display a different layer or set of layers in a layout. Instead multiple layouts, or multiple map frames in a single layout, can point to the same map while showing different layers.

Layer visibility overrides apply only to the visibility check box in the Contents pane of the layout. Other ways to filter or limit visibility of features, such as definition queries or symbol class visibility, cannot be set individually for map frames.

To enable this behavior, select a map frame. On the Map Frame ribbon tab, click the Layer Visibility button . Layer visibility overrides are enabled per map frame. This allows you to have some map frames that match the map view's layer visibility and others that do not. Map frames with layer visibility overrides display an icon in the Contents pane.

A layout with five map frames, all using layer visibility overrides. Each map frame shows different layers turned on, but all point to the same map.

Analyze map performance and drawing metrics

You can use the Analyze Map pane to identify potential issues with drawing performance in maps and scenes. Drawing metrics provide layer-by-layer data processing and feature complexity measurements to find performance bottlenecks that are otherwise difficult to identify. These analytics demonstrate how map content impacts performance and quality in a variety of areas, including:

  • Advanced symbology and label rendering

  • Unconverted, unindexed, or inaccessible data

  • Custom query expressions

The Analyze Map pane tabs

Create and manage file knowledge graphs

You can now create and manage a file knowledge graph stored in a local folder. This allows you to build and analyze knowledge graphs without the ArcGIS Enterprise deployment that is required to create a knowledge graph service. A file knowledge graph supports most advanced visualization, analytics, and data management capabilities that are available with a knowledge graph service.

With an investigation created from a file knowledge graph, you can create a data model that represents real world systems in ArcGIS Pro. You can analyze how entities are connected using graph queries, visualize relationships in link charts, and explore graph data on a map. Investigate relationships between your spatial and nonspatial data to uncover patterns, find trends, and reveal insights.

Extract scanned lines and polygons

You can extract lines and polygons from scanned map images with the new Extract Scanned Lines and Extract Scanned Polygons tools. These geoprocessing tools, located in the Conversion toolbox, use raster datasets classified as binary images as the input source.

  • Extract Scanned Lines generates polyline features at the centerlines of raster cells. It has options to control the handling of intersections and how much compression and smoothing are applied to the output feature geometry. Additional parameters allow you to control the treatment of corners, gaps, and holes.

  • Extract Scanned Polygons generates polygon features along the outlines of raster cells. It has similar options for controlling the compression and smoothing of the output feature geometry.

    Side-by-side images of contour lines as raster input and vector output

By automatically generating vector features from raster cells, these tools reduce the amount of heads-up digitizing needed to extract features from imagery. The tool parameters can be adjusted to suit different types of scanned maps, ranging from representations of natural features to the built environment. For example, you can use Extract Scanned Lines to extract elevation contours, rivers, or soil boundaries. You can use Extract Scanned Polygons to extract building footprints or land use areas.

Embeddings-based analysis

Embeddings enable semantic analysis of geospatial data using AI-generated vector representations. They transform imagery, geographic features, and text into high-dimensional numerical vectors that capture patterns, context, and relationships. Analysis is performed in an embedding space where similar features are closer together and dissimilar ones are farther apart. Because the processes run on precomputed vectors, they are scalable, efficient, and run on standard CPUs.

Illustration comparing data in image space and embedding space

In image space, visually similar features may appear distributed. In embedding space, the model encodes their shared characteristics into nearby vectors.

The Embeddings Based Analysis toolset in the GeoAI toolbox supports working with embeddings.

  • Generate Embeddings Using AI Models converts spatial data into semantic vector representations using pretrained foundation models. You can generate embeddings from imagery, geographic features, and text attributes.

  • Find Similar Features Using Embeddings performs large-scale similarity search across geospatial datasets. One or more query features are combined into a representative embedding vector. The query is then compared to all features in the dataset to identify the most similar features.

    In addition to the geoprocessing tool, a new Find Similar pane is available for interactive exploration.

  • Merge Embeddings aggregates embeddings from one spatial level to another. For example, embeddings generated at the ZIP code level can be merged into counties or states. The tool uses methods such as averaging and area-weighted calculations to ensure that the aggregated embeddings preserve underlying patterns.

  • Embeddings are stored as binary (BLOB) fields, but many ArcGIS Pro tools require numeric inputs. Extract Embeddings To Fields converts embeddings into numeric fields, making them usable with existing workflows such as clustering, regression, and spatial statistics.

Telecom domain networks

The telecom domain network is a configuration option for the utility network available with Utility Network Version 8, designed for organizations that manage telecommunications infrastructure. Unlike traditional domain networks, a telecom domain network introduces a distinct schema built around circuit management, with an extended information model that supports grouping of junction objects, edge objects, and associations.

Grouping allows a single record to represent many objects with shared attribution and topology, such as fiber strands within a cable or ports within a piece of equipment. A circuit defines a dedicated path between start and stop locations, and can include sections and subcircuits, allowing complex circuits to be modeled accurately.

Two trace types support circuit analysis: the path trace finds valid paths between start and stop locations, and the circuit trace returns information about a circuit using the network topology and circuit management tables.

Color schemes identify individual fiber strands within cables based on standard or custom coloring conventions, and a dirty objects table tracks the status of nonspatial objects and associations in the domain network. The association model supports foreign key-based associations, which store connectivity inline on the row itself rather than as separate records in the Associations table. Combined with grouping, this significantly reduces record counts across the network.

Together, these capabilities address the scale and complexity of real-world telecom networks, where datasets may contain billions of nonspatial objects.

New offline and online help systems

Offline help for ArcGIS Pro is now delivered through ArcGIS Documentation Center, an application in My Esri.

After installing ArcGIS Documentation Center, you can download the help for ArcGIS Pro in any of the languages and versions available. Doc Center serves the offline help locally and opens help pages in your default browser. Offline help both looks and behaves like online help.

Unlike previous versions of installed help, offline help can now be updated within a release cycle if important changes are made to the documentation.

ArcGIS Documentation Center and an offline help page

In ArcGIS Documentation Center, you can download offline help for multiple products in the languages and versions currently available. The help runs on a local server and opens in a browser.

Online help has changed in more subtle ways. Help topics follow a new URL pattern. More importantly, the system has worldwide points of presence and so performs better in locations far from a single server site.

Both offline and online help can now be viewed in light or dark themes.
