Administration

ArcGIS Desktop AdministrationArcGIS for Desktop is licensed under three functionality levels: ArcGIS for Desktop Basic (formerly known as ArcView), which allows

one to view spatial data, create layered maps, and perform basic spatial analysis;

ArcGIS for Desktop Standard (formerly known as ArcEditor), which in addition to the functionality of ArcView, includes more advanced tools for manipulation of shapefiles and geodatabases; or

ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced (formally known as ArcInfo), which includes capabilities for data manipulation, editing, and analysis.• You can borrow licenses for temporary use away from the office• License Manager can be installed on any location on the system and

transferred from one license manager to another

Data Management

Geodatabases• Upgrade Geodatabase Tool and Python script• Geodatabase schema restructured to 6 tables• New geoprocessing tools that allow user to create older version of geodatabase

• Six new topology rules• Geometric Network Wizard• New functionality in ArcMap allows you to define a spatial query against SQL spatial types in a spatial database to create a layer (query layer) that can be viewed and queried in ArcMap

Data Management

Six topology rules have been addedSix topology rules have been added to the collection of rules that allow you to model the spatialrelationships of your data. The rules are as follows:• Polygon: Contains One Point• Line: Must Not Intersect With• Line: Must Not Intersect or Touch Interior With• Line: Must Be Inside• Point: Must Be Coincident With• Point: Must Be DisjointSee Geodatabase topology rules and topology error fixesfor a description of topology rules.

Data Management

Must contain 1 point

Must not intersect with

Must not intersect or Touch interior with

Must be inside

Data Management

Geodatabases• Support has been added for one‐way, child‐to‐

parent replicas. This type of replica allows you to edit the data in the child replica and synchronize it with the parent replica

• A new SQL raster type (ST_Raster) can be installed in ArcSDE geodatabases in Oracle, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server

Data Management

Data Management

Editing• Editor toolbar redesigned• Easier to add new features through templates• Snapping redesigned• Mini pop‐up toolbars• Start editing with a right‐click• Easier to create and edit annotation

Data Management

Raster Data • All raster formats use GDAL library• New pyramids are saved as OVR files (flexible)• Raster Storage environment settings added to ArcGIS• A new raster data model—mosaic datasets—has been

introduced• New geoprocessing tools are available for raster data• The Image Analysis window is new dockable window• Color correction tab and Mosaic Color Correction

window are new

Data Management

Tables and Attributes• A Table window has been added that displays all open attribute tables

• The Table window includes a toolbar that lets you interact with the attributes and map

• You can validate a join before it is created by validating the join field names and values

• The Field Calculator works with Python scripting• Features now support file attachments• The Identify window is now dockable• Attachments can be added

Data Management

CAD• Context menus now enable right‐click conversion of CAD feature layers to a geodatabase and automatically add them to your map

• A new tool—CAD To Geodatabase—allows you to bulk load CAD data from the Catalog window

• Nonessential fields are now turned off by default in ArcMap feature class attribute tables

• Spline geometry is now supported

Data Management

Data Management

Metadata• All the items in your catalog now have a simple, standardized core set of metadata properties

• A new Metadata Editor dialog box has been introduced

• Importing Metadata and Exporting Metadata are now geoprocessing tools

• You can now validate metadata based on a metadata standard's XML schema

Mapping and Visualization


ArcMap Basics• Improved organization of menus and toolbars, updated icons

• Easy to access great‐looking basemaps for your map via the new File > Add Data > Add Basemap command

• New dockable window controls• The table of contents now has buttons along the top instead of tabs along the bottom


Accessing Data• You can access and manage your data through the new Catalog

window that is built into the desktop applications• Access project through Catalog Window and new Home button• You can specify the default geodatabase you want your map to

use• The new Search window in the desktop applications lets you

instantly search for maps, data, and tools• Catalog items have a simple, standardized core set of metadata

properties called the item description


Sharing maps and data• ArcGIS now lets you access maps and data from the GIS

community at large• ArcGIS Online command lets you manage uploaded data• The new File > Add Data > Add Data From ArcGIS Online

command in ArcMap lets you search• New map packaging capability lets you share complete map

documents with others• The new ArcGIS.com Web site enables anyone to create a Web

map containing one or more map services and share the map with others as part of ArcGIS Online


Map display and navigation• Basemap layers have been added• Quickpan mode has been added• Scale Settings dialog limits map display scale• Manage the cache for services, basemaps & ArcGlobe

• The Data View tab has settings to enable hardware acceleration and control basemap drawing behavior

• Fewer redraws when working with ArcMap


Page Layouts and Data Frames• Data driven pages• Dynamic text• Data frame options


Cartographic Representations• Two new geometric effects have been added:

– Jog effect– Arrow effect

• User interface enhancements– The representation renderer displays value for the number of

features assigned a rule– The Move tool provides additional options for distance– The Set Size provides more options to refine size change– A position property has been added to Dashes geometric effect

• Feature layer representation has been improved

Geoprocessing and Analysis


• General– ArcToolbox has been replaced by the Search window, the

Catalog window and the Results window– A new Geoprocessing menu has been introduced– You can add tools to any menu or toolbar

• Python and ArcPy– The Python window replaces the Command Line window– ArcPy site replaces arcgisscripting in Python code– ArcPy contains mapping module, Spatial Analyst module and

Geostatistical Analyst module


• Tools– 7 tools for ModelBuilder have been added – Calculate Value,

Collect Values, Get Field Value, Merge Branch, Parse Path, Select Data, and Stop

– More than 50 core geoprocessing tools have been added– Password protection

• Model Builder– Undo & redo supported– Default spacing between elements has changed from 30 to 15

• Iterators– Iterators replace the series option in Model Properties– 12 iterators have been added– Sets the default value of ‐1

Other Changes

• Page layout and data frame• Automating workflows• Temporal data• Animations• Selection tools• Graphs• Reports• Snapping & Measure tools
