ArcGIS Style Creation

This page describes best practices for designing styles for usage in ArcGIS Pro and Online

Style Basics

Arcgis Pro allows the user to create a style file that can be used to symbolize points, lines, polygons, labels, and color swatches. ArcGIS Pro has a style editor that allows the user to create styles natively, but it is also able to ingest SVGs and other formats (vector and raster). This allows us to ensure consistency in the products we prepare for internal and external use, whether they're designed within GIS or imported from Adobe products.
