ArcGIS Pro SDK for .NET: Demonstrating

Pro Extensibility with Add-InsChristopher Zent

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

What are ArcGIS Pro Add-Ins?

Pro Add-Ins – Built with the ArcGIS Pro SDK for Microsoft .NET

• Add-ins allow for powerful customizing and extending of ArcGIS Pro

• Three main patterns:

- Add-Ins – Develop new tools and functionality, and customize UI

- Configurations – Deeper customization, branding, start-up experience, streamline UI

- Plug-in data sources – Make custom data sources available for use in the Pro UI
