ArcGIS Training by ESRI Authorized Instructors

Foundations: ArcGIS II

Learn the range of functionality available in the software and the essential tools for visualizing, creating, managing, and analyzing geographic data. The hands-on course exercises teach you to work with ArcMap and ArcCatalog (the primary applications included with ArcGIS Desktop software) to perform GIS tasks and workflows. The tools for creating and managing geographic data, displaying data on maps in different ways, and combining and analyzing data to discover patterns and relationships are highlighted, and you learn how ArcGIS Desktop provides a complete GIS software solution. By the end of the course, you will be able to start working with the software on your own.

Key Topics for ArcGIS II:

• Investigating geographic data: How geographic data is stored; Vector and raster data; Geodatabase basics; Shapefiles; Coverages; CAD; Managing data in ArcCatalog; ArcMap basics;
• Managing map layers: Zooming to layers; Bookmarks; Display windows; Scale ranges; Group layers; Selection layers; Layer files; Creating hyperlinks
• Symbolizing quantitative data: Symbology;
• Labeling map features, different types of features
• Use coordinate systems and make map projections; learn about coordinate systems, datums, projected coordinate systems
• Geographic transformations; Data frames, working with unknown coordinates
• Make a map layout, work in layout view, arrange map elements; set data frame properties for layouts, legends, scale bars
• Exporting maps and creating templates
• Managing tables, such as structure, attribute tables, nonspatial tables, and retrieving information from tables
• Editing features, Editor toolbar, sketches, snapping
• All about creating geodatabases, types, organization, and attributes
• Importing and exporting metadata
• Getting locations from attributes, locating routes, Geocoding, workflow
• Customization of the ArcGIS Desktop for efficiency and your own work; Toolbars, commands, menus, storing templates

Students should have completed ArcGIS I or have equivalent knowledge.
