Analysis tools in ArcGIS Pro
Some geoprocessing tools in ArcMap are not available in ArcGIS Pro. Namely, geoprocessing tools that process data formats that are not supported in ArcGIS Pro are not available in ArcGIS Pro but often have alternatives, which are listed below.
Python scripts and ModelBuilder models built in ArcMap that use tools not available in ArcGIS Pro do not function and require updates.

- Import From E00
Geodatabase
- The Copy Runtime Geodatabase to File Geodatabase tool has been replaced by the Mobile Geodatabase to File Geodatabase tool.

Note: Annotation feature classes can be updated for use in ArcGIS Pro using the Upgrade Dataset tool.
Geodatabase Administration
-
Upgrade Spatial Reference
Note: The Upgrade Spatial Reference tool is primarily used with personal geodatabase feature classes, which are not supported in ArcGIS Pro.
Geometric Network
Note: Geometric networks are a read-only dataset in ArcGIS Pro. ArcGIS Pro includes two capabilities you can use to manage, model, and analyze network systems: the Trace Network and the Utility Network.
- Add Edge-Edge Connectivity Rule To Geometric Network
- Add Edge-Junction Connectivity Rule To Geometry Network
- Create Geometric Network
- Find Disconnected Features in Geometric Network
- Rebuild Geometric Network

Graph
- Make Graph
-
Save Graph
Note: Graphing and charting capabilities in ArcGIS Pro have been redesigned. Graphs and graph templates created in ArcMap are not supported in ArcGIS Pro.
You can use the ArcPy Chart class to automate the creation of charts in ArcGIS Pro.
Additionally, you can author a layer with charts, save the layer as a layer file, and set that layer file as the Symbology property for custom script tool or model tool output parameters. When the script or model tool is run, the charts will be automatically created for the new output datasets.
Package
- Consolidate Result
Note: Alternative tools include Package Result and Consolidate Toolbox. -
Create Runtime Content
Note: Learn about sharing mobile map packages from ArcGIS Pro for use in other ArcGIS applications
Raster Catalog
Note: Raster catalogs are a read-only dataset in ArcGIS Pro. Learn about migrating raster catalogs to mosaic datasets.

Note: These tools, which are primarily used to set up network analysis web services, will be available in a future release of ArcGIS Pro.
ArcGIS Pro provides the same and enhanced network analysis capabilities available in the Server toolset through other tools in the Network Analyst toolbox, Ready To Use Network Analysis tools, and the interactive network analysis workflow.
- Parcel fabric tools
The legacy Parcel Fabric for ArcMap is supported as a read-only dataset in ArcGIS Pro. You cannot create new or edit existing Parcel Fabrics for ArcMap in ArcGIS Pro, so the entire toolbox has been removed.
ArcGIS Pro includes an enhanced parcel fabric that provides a comprehensive framework for managing, editing, and sharing parcel data in ArcGIS Enterprise, including the Parcel toolbox.
- Schematics tools
Legacy schematics are not supported in ArcGIS Pro, so the entire toolbox has been removed.
Utility Network schematic diagrams provide the capability to generate symbolic and simplified representations of the geographic features in a network.
