HOW TO
ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro provide various designs of north arrows to suit different preferences and map styles. These designs range from simple and traditional north arrows to more elaborate and stylized options. In ArcGIS Pro, old Esri north arrows available in ArcMap are unavailable in the north arrow gallery. It can be useful to have old Esri north arrows in ArcGIS Pro to maintain the visual appearance of project layouts.
This article describes the workflows to add old Esri north arrows in ArcGIS Pro by replacing the existing north arrow with the Esri North font or importing the ArcMap Esri North style to ArcGIS Pro.
In this workflow, the existing north arrow in ArcGIS Pro is replaced with the ESRI North font in the north arrow element properties. After selecting and applying the desired north arrow, it is displayed in the layout view.
Note: Alternatively, under the correct Subset, type the Unicode character code into the Unicode text box and press Enter.
In this workflow, the ArcMap Esri North style is imported to ArcGIS Pro. The imported north arrows are located and can be selected under the default category in the north arrow gallery.
Note: Multiple north arrows can be selected and copied from the selection.
The image below shows the old Esri north arrow added to the ArcGIS Pro north arrow gallery.
