GIS Skills: ArcGIS Pro and the Sequential Numbering Tool

Boost your GIS skills with this installment of Tool Belt Tuesday where we are talking about the Sequential Numbering Tool in this ArcGIS Pro tutorial. This tool is one of the best things to come out of the move to Pro. You can use this tool to number features sequentially if that wasn't obvious. You can number polygons, lines, and points. Have Pro populate a text field with prefix text, leading zeroes and suffix text. You can also populate number fields.

If you're wanting to sharpen you GIS skills, you've come to the right place. This channel is here to help you get better at GIS. I focus primarily on how to use ArcGIS Pro efficiently by introducing you to the many tools in ArcGIS Pro - how to use them and when to use them.

Another great video. I've had to come back to it a few times for reference or to help others out. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for sharing your good knowledge

Hi there. Thanks for the helpful video! I'm wondering if its possible to create a sequential numbering for multiple polygons in the same layer. Ex. Polygon A = 1-60, Polygon B = 1-60, Polygon C = 1-60, etc. Other than creating new layers for each polygon, is there a way to do this? Thanks for the help!

Great info! Think I'm finally starting to get it! Can I come work for you? 😜

Thanks for this great info! Is there a way to do Sequential Numbering based on how the data is sorted in the attribute table? For example, numbering polygons based on their acreage size

Awesome video ! Super useful. This sequential numbering tool is available in a web map published at Arcgis Online ?

is there a way to import a .dwg subdivision and have PRO cut out all the lots easily vs doing it manually?

Is there a way to quickly place annotation such as lot numbers or parcel numbers sequentially that isn't based on polygons? It's very tedious when I'm trying to map a subdivision for the tax office and create lot numbers and parcel numbers by clicking create each time, edit the text, place the text, then start over. It would be nice if I could sequentially just place them one after another with it going up in increments. I'm new to the pro. It seems like annotation was a lot easier in ArcMap

This is a cool method. I have lakes that I want to ID according to their size. I think I will export the table, add the IDs in excel and then join it back.

But what if I want to number a huge amount of features by location? Is there a tool that performs numbering according to geographical sequence?

[AUTANA]

Hello thanks so much for the video. I new to gis and I want to count parking spaces within a polygon and every space is mark by a polyline. I've been looking for videos to solve this but I coulndt fine one to see how it's done. Can you do a video with this please?

[curtistyler]

Can the sequencing be like sections, number ordering from left to right?

[kristineshepherdson]

The problem with this tool is that, when parcels are irregular and you're using a "snakes-and-ladders" order to number them, if you accidentally just hover over an already numbered parcel, it re-writes the number. It would be great if the tool only numbered the parcels we placed a vertex on.

Is this tool available in ArcGIS 10.3 version?
