• Special behaviours
• Geometric networks
• Networks
• Parcel Fabric
• http://support.esri.com/datamodels

11. Data
DEMO

12. ArcMap
• Interact
• Print / Export
• Serve

13. Interacting
• Basemaps
- ArcGIS Online basemaps.
- Basemap layers
• Operational information
- Fields
- Order, visibility, alias, highlight.
- Map tips & Identify.
- Pop-ups.
- Links & Attachments

14. Print / Export
• Symbol selector / editor
• Symbol levels
• Mask
-
• Finishing
- Representations
- Symbol inside GDB

15. Print / Export: Layout
• Additional maps
• Titles
• North
• Legend
• Scale bar / text
• Tables
• Images
• Dynamic text
• Grids and Graticules

16. Print / Export: Map series
• Data Driven Pages
• Quickly and easily create a series
of layout pages from a single map document.
• Single layout for each page.
• Integrated with dynamic page elements.
• Text, scale, extent, north arrow, legend,…
• Print or export the entire series.
• Automated and extended with arcpy.mapping.

17. Serving
• Remove what you don’t need
• Use scale ranges
• Simplify your simbology
• Don’t use on-the-fly projection
• Convert labels to annotations
• Use basemap layers
• Use MSD
• Cache

18. Maps
DEMO

19. Editing Data

20. Maintaining data
Attribute window Snapping
Attributes transference Sketch tools
Dates/Subtypes/Domains Spatial operations
Topology

21. Editing geometry
• Feature template editing
• Tools for feature construction
• Snapping environment

22. Editing attributes
• Change values for newly
digitized feature.
• Edit existing values.
• Copy and paste values
between features.
• Multiple features.
• ArcGIS automatically populates
OBJECT ID, Shape_Length and
Shape_Area fields.

23. Maintaining attribute and geometrical integrity

24. Demonstration
Editing data

25. Geoprocessing

26. What is Geoprocessing?
• The ArcGIS system for managing and manipulating data
- Solve real-world spatial problems
- Model processes and systems
- Ask questions; get results
• Automate GIS tasks.
• Document and Share.

27. ArcToolbox
Toolboxes Tools
Tooldatasets

28. The Geoprocessing Framework

29. ArcToolbox

30. Executing a tool
• Background processing
• Progress bar
• Pop-up notification
• Result Window
- Process report
- Open output files
- Rerun a tool
- Add result to the map
- Copy into ModelBuilder or Python
- Copy Python snippet
- …

31. ModelBuilder
• Tool for encapsulating workflows
- Reusable
- Sharable
• Visual programming language
- Without writing code

32. Python
• Python is a free, cross-platform, open-source
programming language that is both powerful
and easy to learn.
• Native scripting language for ArcGIS 10.
- data analysis, data conversion,
data management and map automation.
• Advantages:
- There are many ways to run single tools
- Use scripting to develop, execute,
and share geoprocessing workflows
- Improves productivity

33. ArcPy
• The access point to geoprocessing tools
• A package of functions, classes and modules,
all related to scripting in ArcGIS
- Helper functions that enable workflows
(ListFeatureClasses, Describe, SearchCursor, etc)
- Classes that can be used to create complex objects
(SpatialReference, FieldMap objects)
- Modules that provide extended functionality
- Mapping
- SpatialAnalyst ArcPy
- Geostatistical Geostatistical

34. Writing Python scripts
• script.py
• Text editor: Notepad, WordPad,…
• IDE: PythonWin, IDLE,…
• Python Window
- Embedded, interactive Python window within ArcGIS
- Access to ArcPy, any Python functionality
- Great for experimenting with Python
- Help pane

35. Python script tools
• Connects Python to ArcGIS
• Best way to create and share custom workflows
- More accessible than stand-alone Python script
- Extends ArcGIS
• Integrated with geoprocessing framework
- Inherits geoprocessing properties and
environments from application
- Can be used in ModelBuilder
- Works with map layers
• Connect parameters to arguments.

38. Sharing resources

39. Sharing
Information Sharing is Critical

40. Map export and printing
The traditional ways
• Printing
- Setting the page size of your map layout
• Exporting your map
- Multiple formats supported:
EMF BMP
EPS JPEG
AI PNG
PDF TIFF
SVG GIF
- Special settings used to create
the PDF files:
- Resolution
- Output Image Quality
- PDF Format options
- Data Driven Pages

41. Sharing as a Package
Professional to Professional
ArcGIS
Online
ArcGIS
for Desktop
Sharing Tradecraft
New at 10.1
Geoprocessing, Tile, & Locator
Map and Layer Packages Packages

42. Sharing as Services
Professional to Everyone
• Make it easier to share GIS resources
- Unified sharing experience
- Comprehensive Analysis
- Sharing to servers in the cloud and to ArcGIS Online
ArcGIS
for Server
