MORE• There is a fairness question –• Some have lab Tuesday and some Friday• Yet things have to be turned in on
Tuesday• BUT: since labs are help sessions and
since usually they are only 20% full (after the first couple of weeks) anyone can go to any lab.
• SO DON’T WAIT TO FRIDAY TO WORK – START EARLY
• Tuesday night stays the turn in day (Actually Wednesday AM @ 8:00 is when I take things out of the box outside my office.

You can move them around.
In fact, you can move them right off the ArcMap Window

TOC – 3 flavors
• Display Tab– Allows you
to manipulate the data
– And change layer position by dragging
This is usually where youwant to be!

TOC – 3 flavors
• Selection Tab– Shows
which layers are selectable
– And you can change that right there
By default ALL are selectable andthat can be a booby trap that canget you into trouble in many ways!

. M?? things• In the previous slide the San Diego
data was stored in a GeoDatabase
• I can tell this from the symbol and from the extension (mdb) on the file “folder” that contains the layers
• The .mdb folder = a GeoDatabase• The other .M thing is the .mxd or
map document

GeoDatabase?
An object-oriented data model introduced by ESRI that represents geographic features and attributes as objects and the relationships between objects but is hosted inside a relational database management system. A geodatabase can store objects, such as feature classes, feature datasets, nonspatial tables, and relationship classes.

Identification
• There are several ways of identifying features (and this is related to selecting)– Use the Drawing toolbar selection
tool to display a “map tip” if one exists
– Use the Identify tool to display the record of data for that object
– Select the feature and look in the attribute table for info
![Page 21: Module 1 Highlights](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103100/56813210550346895d98670a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Selection• Selection is a way of focusing the
system’s attention on a specific feature (object) or set of features
• There are several ways of selecting– Use the selection tool
The feature will get a strange aqua color or outline. The record in the attribute table will be colored aqua also
– You can shift-Click to select a number of features
– You can select a record in the attribute table and it will also be selected in the dataview

22
More Selection
• Under the Selection menu there are a number of options– Select by location (select features
from one or more layers based their spatial relation to features in another layer)
– Select by Attribute (select features based on data in the attribute database)
![Page 23: Module 1 Highlights](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103100/56813210550346895d98670a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Adding Data
• Directly from ArcMap• Drag from ArcCatalog
![Page 24: Module 1 Highlights](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103100/56813210550346895d98670a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
ArcCatalog
• Is a very handy application• In Exercise 1a you will see that a
shapefile is composed of 3-~8 files• And thus is hard to move because
you always leave something behnid• In ArcCatalog, however, it appears
as one file and you can move, rename, etc much easier
![Page 25: Module 1 Highlights](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103100/56813210550346895d98670a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
ArcCatalog (cont)
• Booby trap – sometimes if you are working with data in ArcCatalog you cannot add it to a map because Catalog is using it
• Solution – close ArcCatalog• Point – this is not a ESRI thing but
is due to Windows not liking two apps working with the same data at the same time!
![Page 26: Module 1 Highlights](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103100/56813210550346895d98670a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
ArcCatalog (more yet)
• ArcCatalog is very handy because you can preview data before you load it into ArcMap
• You can look at– Contents (name, Type, Symbol– Preview
• Geographic data• Table data
– Metadata
![Page 27: Module 1 Highlights](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103100/56813210550346895d98670a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Avoid Booby Trap
• You should always manage your data in ArcCatalog and NOT in Windows Explorer.
• In ArcCatalog shape files are represented by one file
• In Windows Explorer shape files are represented by 3 or more files
• Too easy to miss one if moving files around!
