Frequently asked question

Is the Spatial Adjustment toolbar available in ArcGIS Pro?

Last Published: December 27, 2021

Answer

No, the Spatial Adjustment toolbar is not available in ArcGIS Pro. As an alternative, use the Transform tool. The Transform tool uses displacement links to perform geometric transformations. The procedure and output are similar to the Spatial Adjustment toolbar in ArcMap. Refer to ArcGIS Pro: Transform features for more information.
