A Tale of Two Toolboxes

The solutions-geoprocessing-toolbox repo supports toolboxes for both ArcMap/ArcCatalog/ArcGlobe/ArcScene (collectively called ArcGIS for Desktop) and also ArcGIS Pro. Toolboxes that are modified in ArcGIS Pro are not backwards compatible (see Compatibility note below) with other ArcGIS Desktop applications (ArcMap), so most toolboxes are duplicated for one or the other. The naming of these toolboxes is as follows:

• Toolboxes that are for ArcGIS Desktop will include arcmap after the toolbox name. For example: Geonames Tools__arcmap.tbx
• Toolboxes for ArcGIS Pro will include pro. For example: Geonames Tools__pro.tbx

Please note that some toolboxes are for ArcGIS Pro only, or ArcGIS Desktop only. These toolboxes will follow the above naming convention, but will not have a duplicate.

Also note that some of our toolboxes are (Python Toolboxes)[http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/analyze/creating-tools/a-quick-tour-of-python-toolboxes.htm] (.pyt) and work in both ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro. These do not have the arcmap or pro suffix.

• Compatibility: ModelBuilder migration in Pro
• Product info for ArcGIS Pro
• Help for ArcGIS Pro
