ArcGIS Pro SDK for .NET: Demonstrating Extensibility with Partner Add-Ins

Session Overview

• Introduction to ArcGIS Pro add-ins

• Pro extensibility with add-ins:- CycloMedia Street Smart – Visualize and leverage street level imagery- Geosoft Tools Add-In – Streamline use of raster data- Voyager Search Add-In – Search tools to find and incorporate online data

• Resources for your work

ArcGIS Pro Add-InsBuilt with the ArcGIS Pro SDK

ArcGIS Pro SDK for Microsoft .NET

• Templates and tools to streamline add-in development• Develop in Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 & 2019• Modern framework using .NET – WPF, MVVM, LINQ, etc.

Project Templates

Item Templates

Pro SDK Development Patterns

• Two main patterns:- Add-Ins – Develop new tools and functionality, and customize UI- Configurations – Deeper customization, branding, start-up experience, streamline UI

• Two additional patterns:- Plug-in datasources – Make a custom data source available for use in the Pro UI- CoreHost applications – Standalone apps with limited API access

What can you do with Pro add-ins?

• Framework – customize and extend the Pro UI ribbon, add and remove buttons, panes, tools, etc.

• Content – manage Pro project items and connections to Portal to consume and integrate online data

• Editing – develop powerful feature editing tools and create and manage 2D and 3D editing operations

• Geodatabase – access file and enterprise datasets, manage queries, searches, selections and versions

• Geometry – build and manage feature geometries and perform spatial operations

• Geoprocessing – run geoprocessing tools and python scripts from add-in tools and routines

• Layouts – build custom layouts and elements, manage layout views and selections

What can you do with Pro add-ins?

• Map Authoring – author maps, manage layers, define and set layer renderers

• Map Exploration – build and manage animations, control the camera and build new map tools

• Metadata – create custom metadata forms using the Metadata Toolkit

• Raster – work with raster datasets, layers and colorizers

• Real-time – manage real-time stream layers, events and tracking data

• Sharing – access and search content, folders, and groups of a portal or online organization

• Tasks – access and manage Tasks within the UI

• Utility Network – create custom utility network tools, traces and workflows

Demonstrating Extensibility with Add-Ins

Discussion points for each add-in

• Overview of the add-in

• How it extends ArcGIS Pro

• Video demonstration – with focus on customizations

• Review some of the Pro APIs used and available resources

Extending Pro to visualize and leverage street-level imagery

CycloMedia Street Smart Add-In

CycloMedia Street Smart

• Developed by: CycloMedia, Esri Partner

• Audience: Local Government, Transportation, Utilities

• Focus areas: Data Collection, Map Exploration, Visualization

CycloMedia Street Smart

• Emphasis: - Incorporates CycloMedia street-level imagery and tools in Pro for visualization, data collection

and measurement workflows.

• How does it extend Pro: - Configures service connections and rendering for Street Smart layers in map views- Real-time integration between the Pro map view and GeoCycloramas – 360-degree imagery- Capture of new features leveraging imagery- Settings integrated throughout Pro

Demo:CycloMedia Street Smart

CycloMedia Street Smart – Extensibility• Using the SDK and APIs:

- Feature service recording layer for selection and editing from GeoCycloramas

- Cyclorama Viewer dockpane with Pro editing and exploration capabilities

- Settings for connections, etc. integrated throughout Pro at Project, Map and Layer level

- Main Pro APIs used:- Map Exploration – Integrated 2D map view and 3D

GeoCyclorama visualization- Sample – Using Bing Streetside Imagery

- Editing – Create features in layers from capture in Cyclorama Viewer

- Framework – Custom tab, buttons, tools, and custom properties and settings

- Geodatabase – Feature classes and selections

Streamlining Geosoft grid data import and use in ArcGIS Pro

Geosoft Tools Add-In

Geosoft Tools

• Developed by: Geosoft, Esri Partner

• Audience: Mining, Natural Resources, Oil & Gas

• Focus areas: Map Exploration, Subsurface, 3D

Geosoft Tools

• Emphasis: - Provides tools for search, conversion, import and display of Geosoft raster files and other

geoscience datasets within ArcGIS Pro.

• How does it extend Pro: - Integrates a geoscience data search tool to find and download global datasets - Geoprocessing tools to convert one or multiple Geosoft raster files into Esri formats- Tools to apply standard color methods- Import Geosoft sections directly into 3D scenes

Demo:Geosoft Tools

Geosoft Tools – Extensibility• Using the SDK and APIs:

- Geosoft Connect for data access, search, and add-in licensing

- Geoprocessing tools to import datasets and convert Geosoft .grd raster files

- Tools for raster appearance and 3D section import and configuration

- Main Pro APIs used:- Raster – Work with raster datasets

- Sample – Create and apply raster colorizer definitions

- Map Authoring – Work with raster data layer appearance and renderers

- Framework – Settings for custom tab, integration of custom tools

- Geodatabase – Working with datasets and feature layers

Search tools to find and integrate public online data

Voyager Search Add-In

Voyager Search

• Developed by: Voyager Search, Esri Partner

• Audience: General ArcGIS Pro users

• Focus areas: Search, Data Exploration, Map Authoring

Voyager Search

• Emphasis: - Provides data search and filter tools accessing the VoyagerODN (Open Data Network) for

publicly available data sources, with map tools to manage searches and visualize results.

• How does it extend Pro: - Allows for management of connections to the Voyager data service- Dockpanes for defining data filters and viewing search results from keywords and operators,

get details and add content to your map- Map tools for refining searches in the map view - Work with saved searches and user settings

Demo:Voyager Search

Voyager Search – Extensibility• Using the SDK and APIs:

- Custom Search and Filter dockpanes with management of settings and results

- Map tools for defining spatial extents of searches and making selections

- Custom ribbon tab with tools and updating searches and results

- Main Pro APIs used:- Map Authoring – Adding layers to maps from

multiple sources - Sample – Change basemap and add a new layer to the

active map

- Map Exploration – Visualization tools and map tools

- Framework – Settings for custom tab, tools, and settings
