Discover for ArcGIS Pro 2.2 Update 2 (March 2025)

Georeference an Image in 3D

The 3D Georeference Image workflow has been improved by making the coordinate entry process more interactive and intuitive.

Previously, the coordinate entry dialogue for adding control points was modal, which prevented you from zooming or panning the map while entering coordinates. In this release, the dialogue is non-modal, allowing you to move around the map freely while refining control point positions. This change improves accuracy during georeferencing.

Point Grid Planner

A new Clear Line button has been added next to the Add Control Point button, allowing you to remove the currently defined line without restarting the tool or reselecting Create Line. The button has a red cross icon for easy identification.

Rasters

Rasters now include a Classify grid tool for raster data, offering a faster and more intuitive way to categorise grid values for visual interpretation.

This tool allows you to define classification ranges directly within your raster dataset, enabling clearer differentiation of zones based on value thresholds. It is particularly useful for geophysical or geochemical data, where clearly defined value bands are essential.

Structural Symbols

This release includes updates to existing structural symbols, improving consistency and clarity in your visual outputs. The enhanced symbol designs are more visually distinct and better aligned across different structural types.

Discover Mobile

This release expands the mobile check-in/check-out workflow to support LiDAR data, making it easier to manage and transfer high-resolution 3D scan data in the field.

To accommodate LiDAR .OBJ files, the mobile GeoPackage format has been updated with a new dedicated LiDAR table. This table enables you to store zipped LiDAR datasets, including all required components such as .OBJ, .MTL, and .JPG files directly within the project package, streamlining data exchange across devices and environments.

The table includes three fields:

  • Name—Stores the name and path of the zipped LiDAR dataset.
  • Data—Stores the .ZIP file containing all necessary .OBJ assets.
  • Thumbnail—Stores a .JPG preview of the dataset for quick reference.
