Overview of this book

ArcGIS Pro, Esri's newest desktop GIS application, offers powerful tools for visualizing, maintaining, and analyzing data. This cookbook will help existing ArcMap users transition to ArcGIS Pro and teach new users how to utilize its GIS tools effectively. You’ll learn how to create geodatabases, convert data formats, link tables from outside sources, edit 2D and 3D data, ensure data integrity with topology, and enable advanced geodatabase behavior. By the end, you'll be able to effectively use ArcGIS Pro as your primary desktop GIS application, maintaining, analyzing, and displaying data using common methods and tools.

Determining whether your computer can run ArcGIS Pro

Unlike the 32-bit ArcMap and ArcCatalog applications, ArcGIS Pro supports multithreading/hyperthreading (use of multiple core processors), graphics processing units (GPUs), and more than 4 GB of RAM. This also means that ArcGIS Pro requires more computer resources to run properly.

The minimum requirements for ArcGIS Pro 3.x are the following:

  • Windows 64-bit OS: Windows 10 or 11 Home, Pro, or Enterprise
  • Windows Server 2016, 2019, and 2022 Standard and Datacenter
  • Multithreaded/hyperthreaded dual-core processor
  • 8 GB RAM (Note: this is increased from past versions)
  • 32 GB hard drive space
  • 4 GB dedicated video memory (Note: this is increased from past versions)
  • Microsoft .NET Framework 6.0.5
  • Microsoft Edge
  • DirectX 11
  • OpenGL 4.3
  • Shader Model 5.0

Keep in mind that these are the minimum requirements. The more hardware, the better where ArcGIS Pro is concerned. In general, I would recommend...
