DNR QuickLayers for ArcGIS Pro 3

The way to access Layers Quickly.<br/><br/>Quick Layers is an Add-In for ArcGIS Pro 3 that allows rapid access to the DNR's Geospatial Data Resource Site (GDRS). The GDRS is a data structure that serves core geospatial dataset and applications for not only DNR, but many state agencies, and supports the Minnesota Geospatial Commons. Data added from Quick Layers is pre-symbolized, helping to standardize visualization and map production. Current version: 3.11<br/><br/>To use Quick Layers with the GDRS, <i>there's no need to download QuickLayers from this location</i>. Instead, download a full copy or a custom subset of the public GDRS (including Quick Layers for ArcGIS Pro 3) using <a href=https://gisdata.mn.gov/dataset/gdrsmanager target=_blank>GDRS Manager</a>.<br/><br/>Quick Layers also allows users to save and share their own pre-symbolized layers, thus increasing efficiency and consistency across the enterprise.<br/><br/>Installation:<br/><br/>After using GDRS Manager to create a GDRS, including Quick Layers, add the path to the Quick Layers addin to the list of shared folders:<br/>1. Open ArcGIS Pro<br/>2. Project -> Add-In Manager -> Options<br/>3. Click add folder, and enter the location of the Quick Layers Pro app. For example, if your GDRS is mapped to the V drive, the path would be V:\gdrs\apps\pub\us_mn_state_dnr\quick_layers_pro3<br/>4. After you do this, the Quick Layers ribbon will be available. To also add Quick Layers to the Quick Access Toolbar at the top, right click Quick Layers, and select Add to Quick Access Toolbar<br/><br/><i>The link below is only for those who are using Quick Layers without a GDRS.</i> To get the most functionality out of Quick Layers, don't install it separately, but instead download it as part of a GDRS build using <a href=https://gisdata.mn.gov/dataset/gdrsmanager target=_blank>GDRS Manager</a>.
