00:01My name's Rupert Essinger. I'm originally from Leicester in England...

00:04...but I now work with the ArcGIS development team in Redlands, California.

00:10These are my colleagues, Doug Morgenthaler and Craig Williams. We're all on the mapping team in Redlands.

00:21This session is also being held tomorrow here in the same place, twelve noon; also on Friday morning.

00:28Those of you who are new to the conference will have seen from the agenda...

00:32...that on Friday morning, there's a small number of tech workshops.

00:36This is one of those workshops; it's at nine a.m.

00:40So in this session, we won't be showing you everything that's new in [ArcGIS] Desktop 10...

00:45...so there's some related What's New sessions I'd like to highlight for you.

00:51What's New in the Geodatabase is on...that's starting now, also tomorrow at noon.

00:58And then What's New in Imagery and Raster is tomorrow and Thursday at noon, then it's Friday morning at nine.

01:06It's one of those Friday morning sessions that we have.

01:12Also if you want to drill deeper into the key new version 10 functionality, especially building map books...

01:20...which is a key new feature at version 10, built into version 10, we'll be showing you that a little bit.

01:26But to drill in deeper, check out these two sessions. There's one this afternoon and one on Thursday afternoon.

01:32Also Python scripting is being shown today at one-thirty and Friday at nine a.m.

01:43The printed agendas don't show the Python Scripting for Map Automation in ArcGIS 10 session correctly...

01:50...so if you've been using a printed agenda and you're interested in Python, it might be good to write this down from the slide...

01:57...because the printed agenda doesn't show the Tuesday one-thirty and Friday nine a.m. session.

02:02So a big takeaway from this session is if you don't know Python, make sure there's someone in your GIS team...

02:03So Python scripting's a huge enhancement in version 10.

02:07We've extended Python out so you can automate maps and map production.

02:19...who knows Python and becomes familiar with it, because at version 10...

02:23...the number of things you can do with Python expands dramatically.

02:28Also parcel management. If you're interested in that, there's one session of that Wednesday, one-thirty.

02:37So you don't need to take notes in this session unless, of course, you want to.

02:41Because if you go to this web page, you'll find out everything about what's new in version 10.

02:46Esri.com. It's actually on the home page, but esri.com/whatsnew or just go to Esri's home page and click on ArcGIS 10.

02:54So it lists all the new features. There's videos, FAQs, you can drill into details.

03:00There's also links into the online help, which is already available.

03:05And in fact, if you want to access any of the online help for version 10 or for version 9.3, have a look at our new resource center.

03:14We've been changing this a little bit; sorry about that, folks. The URL is as shown on the slide here, resources.arcgis.com.

03:22This is a new resource center we recently released...

03:25...and that's where you'll find, for example, the map templates that we spoke about yesterday.

03:36Also I really encourage you to get your questions about 10 answered at the [Esri] UC.

03:40The [Esri] UC's a great time to meet characters such as these and myself, all the development team...

03:46...are in San Diego, and they're pretty much downstairs, I think. Pretty much directly below us in the Esri Showcase.

03:54There'll be a little bit of time for questions in this session; actually, I'm not sure how much time there will be...

04:00...but don't leave San Diego without getting your questions about version 10 answered.

04:04And I really invite you to take advantage of the resource downstairs in the Esri Showcase. All the teams are there.

04:11If you don't get your question answered immediately, ask someone and make sure they direct you to the person...

04:18...because we really want to make sure you get all your questions answered.

04:22The Esri Showcase is on at the moment till six, also tomorrow till nine till six.

04:28If you're new to the conference, don't wait too long to get your questions answered or to visit the showcase...

04:34...because it closes at one-thirty on Thursday. Okay?

04:39So Thursday afternoon, the whole Exhibit Hall downstairs, including the Esri Showcase, closes at lunchtime.

04:48So ArcGIS 10 is easy, fast, and powerful. And I know we say that every single release.

04:56In fact, I got this slide from an 8.2 slide deck originally.

05:00But this time, it's really true.

05:03[Inaudible audience participation]

05:05Really, this time it's really true. And we're going to prove to you in the next hour that this is the case.

05:13ArcGIS 10 lets you use geographic information everywhere, so from the Plenary Session yesterday...

05:18...the part that we're talking about introducing you to in this session is the green box on the left, the desktop part.

05:26So in this session, we're not talking about server, mobile, or online. Just talking about desktop.

05:35And I'm going to be telling you the single most important thing in ArcGIS Desktop 10.

05:44The single most important thing is that the icons are much cuter in version 10.

05:50So we've revamped all the icons. Bex the dog is still there, so the menu in the bottom left of the screen here...

05:58...this is the menu that you get in [ArcGIS] Desktop if you make a custom tool, and you can choose an icon for that.

06:04And I'm now at liberty to announce that at version 10 there is going to be Mars the cat as a new icon in the bottom left-hand corner.

06:18Lot of complaints from cat lovers that there wasn't a cat. Mars the cat is now in the release, so...

06:25Actually, seriously, there are a few other things in addition to the dog and the cat...

06:27...that think are going to be really powerful about version 10.

06:31For example, you can check licenses in and out, so you can check a license to your laptop then take it home...

06:38...or go into the field or go to Starbucks, then check it back in when you get back into the office.

06:43There's a whole new model for how customizations are delivered that's much easier to use.

06:48Instead of having to register DLLs and so on, when someone gives you some custom code, there's something called an add-in.

06:54It's a single file, you put it in the right place, it automatically appears in your user interface.

06:59There's better support for virtualization, and also we support online software distribution.

07:03How many people have got access to version 10 by downloading it? Okay. Great.

07:12So the [ArcGIS] Desktop user interface is easier and more productive as we'll be showing you.

07:16Creating and maintaining data is easier. Spoke about this yesterday.

07:20But there's a completely new palette-based, template-based editing user interface...

07:27...that makes it much easier to create features, and Doug's going to be showing you that.

07:33There's easier and more powerful data management.

07:35There's new query layers that enable you to set up a direct SQL connection in your map.

07:44This enables you to get spatial data from a relational database management system that's not in a geodatabase.

07:52There's also various improvements in the geodatabase. Go to the geodatabase session for a full description of those.

07:59There's also 130-plus new geoprocessing tools across the entire software suite; almost 50 of those are in the core software.

08:09There's also a great imagery platform as you started to see yesterday.

08:12And again, there's a separate session about working with raster data.

08:17There's enough that's new in version 10 for that to have its own session at the User Conference.

08:22This is the Image Analysis window you can see.

08:27As you saw yesterday, ArcGIS is a complete 3D GIS with 3D editing.

08:34Okay. I've touched on a few things, but what is the most important thing?

08:38Well, I think the single most important thing in ArcGIS Desktop 10 is that we're putting the focus back on maps.

08:47And it sort of might seem a bit obvious because GIS is about maps, but I think it was worth doing a slide...

08:53...because I think over the years, we've sometimes made GIS seem rather hard and scary.

08:59Now this isn't an official Esri slide, but I thought it was worth making the point...

09:05...that some of the things that we've made you do in order to do GIS have sometimes been a bit hard...

09:10...like ArcSDE, data models, object models, feature classes, metadata, versions.

09:16Now, I'm not saying that these aren't important; these are things that we use to do our job...

09:21...but I don't think it's what gets us out of bed in the morning.

09:24Like you don't really come into work 'cause you're pumped up about object models. Well, some of you are, but not all of you.

09:31So the point I'm making is that we're really putting the focus back on maps...

09:35...because they're the organizing principle for everything we do.

09:39And people understand maps.

09:41When you go to a meeting in a city and you take your maps with you and you put them on the table...

09:46...there's a special sort of reaction you get from the people at the meeting.

09:50People gather around and understand maps. People need maps.

09:55Like if you've ever tried to explain to your friends or your parents what work you do...

10:00...they'll say, well, haven't we got all the maps we need?

10:03But there's like an incredible demand for maps. We haven't got all the maps that we need yet.

10:08Maps are what excite us as GIS pros. This is what we do.

10:12So to focus back on maps, we're saying what is your basemap? What do you display on top of that map?

10:19What's the authoritative data you need to do your work? How do you design a great map?

10:24And there's some great sessions during the conference about that.

10:26How do you automate map production? Who needs to use your maps? And what map-based applications do you want to make?

10:34So to focus back on maps...

10:35...one of the ways in which we've done that is it's easier to get started in version 10 with built-in basemaps.

10:41So this is the dialog in version 10...

10:43...that's built into ArcMap that gives you access to the online basemaps that we showed you yesterday during the plenary.

10:52You don't need to have version 10 in order to use these, so if you're using version 9.3, just go to the File menu...

10:58...and choose the Add Data from ArcGIS Online command, and you'll get access to all of these free, online basemaps.

11:05In version 10, we've built a dialog into the product to make it easier to get at.

11:11Map templates are another area in which we're focusing on maps.

11:14Talked about those yesterday.

11:16Go to the Resource Center to find out about those. They give you professional results immediately.

11:21So these map templates, what we're talking about here, these aren't .mxt files.

11:26Map template is a little folder that you download that contains a map document, sample data, documentation...

11:33... metadata, geoprocessing tools perhaps, schema, style file, and so on.

11:38Everything you need that specifies a well-designed map.

11:42You can download those and immediately use them in your work.

11:46We've also improved map production workflows.

11:48Like we're saying, map books, that is, generation of map series, is built into the product for version 10.

11:54There's a new Data Driven Pages toolbar.

11:56There's also dynamic text, so you can put text on the layout that's going to change based on...

12:03...attributes in your table, other properties, and so on.

12:05[Audience participation] Yea! Yeah, yeah!

12:09[Audience question] Is it a simple tile or is it multiscale?

12:11It's both. You can also automate mapping workflows with Python scripting like I said just before we started.

12:18So big takeaway from the session, check out how Python lets you now automate things in maps.

12:27You can, for example, you can...if you've got a set of map documents, say you've got 50 map documents...

12:33...you can write a Python script now that will go and replace a particular layer in each of those documents with a layer file on disk.

12:41So you can update the appearance of a whole bunch of maps in bulk. Previously, you had to do that manually.

12:50So Python has a series of coarse-grained functions. This is a list of some of the functions in Python.

12:57And they're pretty understandable, for example, Add a Layer, Add a Layer to a Group, Export a Map to an Image...

13:03...Export a Map to a PDF, which can be a multipage PDF.

13:07You can move a layer up and down in the table of contents, repair layers, and so on.

13:11So it's going to be really useful in cases for...

13:15Some of you have got hundreds of map documents, and then when you...

13:19...move to a different ArcSDE server or reorganize your data, you get lots of broken links in those map documents.

13:26You can fix those now in version 10, without opening each map manually, by writing a script.

13:32You can give it a list of all the maps in multiple workspaces or over your whole organization...

13:39...then you can write a script and update layer, replace layer A with layer B, and so on.

13:45Sharing your maps. So at 9.3.1, we added layer package, layer packages.

13:51A layer package is a layer plus the data it references zipped into a little file that's really handy that you can put on the Internet...

13:59...upload into ArcGIS Online, and share with other users.

14:02At version 10, we've extended that to add map packages.

14:08So a map package is an .mxd file plus all of the data the map references, all zipped up into one small, convenient file.

14:17And when you make a map package, you can choose whether data that's on servers would also get brought into that map package...

14:25...or whether you want to reference that, those layers, over your network.

14:32So, for example, if you're making a map package for distribution outside of your organization, you'd include...

14:37...you'd want to include your server, your ArcSDE data, in that map package.

14:42But if you're making a map package for use just inside your organization...

14:45...where all the people using the map package are accessing the same database servers, you wouldn't need to include the data in it.

14:52Lots of uses for this. Not just sharing data with other users but it also makes maps really portable.

14:58'Cause previously, map documents sort of point everywhere and they're hard to move around.

15:03But you can use map packages; for example, you might want to make an archive of the way that a map looks at the moment...

15:11...including all of the data, like a snapshot, and you can make a map package, store that in an archive. So map packages.

15:25Also, as you see in this demo, we've got built-in ArcGIS Online support.

15:29So ArcGIS Online is Esri's data warehouse in the cloud.

15:33You can upload your layer packages and your map packages into ArcGIS Online...

15:38...then people using 9.3.1 can access the layer packages, and people who've got 10 can also access the map packages.

15:46And the dialog for accessing those in version 10 is built into the software. And that's a picture of the dialog that you'll see.

15:55These are various resources that have been uploaded into ArcGIS Online, and when you upload your resources into ArcGIS Online...

16:03...you can choose if they'll be accessible to everyone or just certain members of private groups, and so on.

16:11So I'm going to give you a quick demo; this'll just be five minutes.

16:15I'm going to show you, if you haven't used version 10 yet...

16:18...I just want to orientate you around what you see on the screen when you first open it up.

16:24So this is what you see. All I've done is open up an existing map; I've not customized anything.

16:29So the first thing you notice is that the pull-down menus are pretty much the same as they were in 9.3...

16:37...so you don't have to relearn everything.

16:39So it's not like moving from Office 2003 to Office 2007 where you're going crazy.

16:45But we changed a few things like there's no longer... The Tools pull-down menu has been renamed to be Customize...

16:53...so it's just about customizing your application.

16:56And things in the Tools pull-down menu that used to be in there are now...

17:01...things like adding data, geocoding, adding x,y data, and so on...

17:06...are in a pull-right in the File menu. So that's where we've put those.

17:12There's also a new Geoprocessing pull-down menu...

17:15...that gives you one place where you can access all of the geoprocessing functionality.

17:19And we've included some of the common geoprocessing tools right inside that menu.

17:24So if you have GIS users in your team who want to do a buffer but don't want to learn all about geoprocessing...

17:32...it's much easier now; they'll find that command right in that menu.

17:36You can also customize the contents of that menu yourself.

17:40All of the geoprocessing tools are now accessible via the Customize dialog in ArcMap.

17:45You know, that's the dialog that you already use to customize the user interface...

17:50...open up the Customize dialog and drag commands.

17:53You can now drag geoprocessing tools into this menu or any toolbar you like.

18:00Table of contents is no longer tabs at the bottom; you've got buttons at the top instead.

18:05These views are pretty much the same as you had in 9.3...

18:08...but you see there's a couple of extra ones that make it easy to work with maps with a large number of layers like this one.

18:14This view lets me see which layers are selectable or not.

18:18This one lets me see which ones are visible out of scale range or not turned on.

18:28Also the hawk-eyed among you will have noticed that the Add Data button's now got a little pull-down menu.

18:35This is how you access the basemaps. So this is a dialog that gives you access to the free ArcGIS Online basemaps.

18:43These are map services. You can add them into your map, and I've already added, I've added shaded relief into this map...

18:49...and I've used it as a background to my land-use and parcel map, which I've made slightly transparent.

18:55There's also the command in there, which Doug will show you in a moment. This lets you add data from ArcGIS Online.

19:00There's also a little...the Selection tool, you can now select things by a circle, by a lasso, by polygon, by line.

19:10So you can draw a circle and select things.

19:16But the thing you've probably seen over here and probably already spotted is when you work with ArcGIS Desktop, okay...

19:21...you work with a catalog of data. You've all been creating those.

19:25At version 10, the catalog is now a window inside ArcMap, so the application still ships with the product...

19:34...so ArcCatalog is still there; haven't taken that away.

19:37You can still work with that, but it's much more convenient to use the Catalog window.

19:41You can do everything that you can do inside [Arc]Catalog right inside the Catalog window.

19:46So you can add data, drill into metadata, and so on.

19:50All the commands are there, for example, you are already used to working with.

19:56You can decide how you want to work with the catalog.

19:58You can look at the list and the contents as well, or perhaps you just want to see the contents or the list.

20:05You can double-click it, you can pop it out, you can pop it back in. All of these windows...I can hide it again.

20:18I can work with them so they just pop out whenever I want, and then they'll pop back in, or you can dock them.

20:24If you dock them, you can also rearrange both the Catalog window, the Search window, the table of contents...

20:32...the Table window, the Identify window. All these windows are dockable, so you can arrange the screen however you want.

20:39It sort of looks a bit goofy on a small screen like this with low resolution, but it's really useful if you have dual monitors.

20:45You can arrange your workspace exactly how you want.

20:48For example, if you want the catalog to be over on this side, I can drag it over here, and notice how this...

20:56Can you see this little triangle? I wonder if they're showing up, there's little triangle targets you can drop things onto.

21:01So I'm going to drop the catalog so it's below the table of contents, so I can work with it like that...

21:06...and going to turn the contents view off, turn the list on.

21:09And that's sort of okay, but let's dock it actually on top of the table of contents.

21:15So I'm dropping it onto the middle of this target.

21:19So now I've got the table of contents and the catalog together like that.

21:24But anyway, play around with that when you get back home.

21:27I double-clicked it again to bring it out, and I'm going to dock it back over here.

21:31So when you do a GIS project, you normally make a folder and you put maps in there, you put your data in there ...

21:39...supporting files, and you also might access data on the server.

21:42In version 10, it's much easier to get to the GIS project folder that your map belongs to...

21:49...because it's always shown at the top of the catalog.

21:52So the top of the catalog, I've got my home folder, which by definition in version 10 is the folder in which the .mxd file resides.

22:01So if I were to go into [Arc]Catalog and look for my folder connections, I don't even need to touch the folder connections at all.

22:08As I browse down through those, if I want to go back to my GIS project folder, I just click the Home button up there.

22:15Takes me back to that folder.

22:17So it's much easier to get at the project folder where you're storing information about the work you're doing.

22:25You'll see that little home icon on many of the dialogs inside ArcMap.

22:30For example, if I press the Add Data dialog, you see the home icon there.

22:33So you just press that to go to the folder for your project.

22:39I've got about one minute left. I'm just going to show you a couple more things. Going to hide that.

22:42So the catalog's nice if you know where your data is. What if you don't know where your data is?

22:47So at version 10, we've added a Search window. This gives you a very nice, sort of weblike experience.

22:55This lets you search your local data. It also lets you search your enterprise resources.

23:01You can also extend the search out to ArcGIS Online.

23:04So, for example, I'm interested in the feature data I've got. So there's the feature data.

23:11How about feature data for San Diego? I'm not quite sure where I put it all.

23:15I know there's some workspaces out there with some data in.

23:19So that's the feature data that's got San Diego anywhere in its metadata or in its folder name or in its file name.

23:26So how about, I'm interested in San Diego shapefiles. But I'm really interested in all the polygons. Write polygon.

23:37So don't have any of those. Let's look at lines. There you go.

23:42So I've got a bunch of line features. So can you see it's really quick?

23:46The way that you configure this, when you first install the software, here's what you do.

23:50Go to the Search window and you'll see there's an Options dialog here.

23:54So the way that Search works, it's very much like how Windows search works.

23:57You configure, you set up, exactly what you want to search. You can point at folders, you can point at network folders.

24:04Also there's something being introduced at 10 that's a search service...

24:08...where an enterprise can serve to its users a catalog that can be accessed from this window.

24:15So I better actually shut up now and let my colleagues show you something. I'm going to hand over to Craig.

24:22Hello. Can you hear me in back? Good.

24:28Alright. So what we have here is just a map.

24:32Specifically, this is a map of Fort Pierce, Florida, that we downloaded from the map template gallery that Rupert spoke about.

24:42And what I'm going to be doing today is showing you...

24:45...this map in relation to the performance improvements we've made for drawing for ArcGIS 10.

24:51So how many of you like to watch a map draw like this? Yeah, nobody does, right?

24:58[Audience question] Take a coffee break?

25:00So not quite time for a coffee break. That would be the geoprocessing session. Drawing's not quite that bad.

25:08But couple things about this. You can go and download this map, you know, and see it yourself...

25:16...but what we have here is we have essentially two big group layers, a land base and the actual water network.

25:26And what we've done in promoting this group layer structure here is we're bringing the kind of paradigms...

25:36...that we've been using in the server area to the desktop...

25:40...in that we're separating basemap content from operational content.

25:46So in this particular instance, this map is provided for the water resources template...

25:52...and really, it's about this water network specifically.

25:56So the water network is a group layer here; you can see the meters and hydrants, et cetera, and then there's the land base.

26:05This is the content, you know, that we're using as a locational reference for the meters and mains...

26:13...but we're not actively working with it; we're just using it to kind of fill in the details and tell us where these items really are.

26:20So in that sense, the data that we'd be working with here would be the water network data...

26:26...and we're just using the land base essentially to draw.

26:29But we're taking the hit of the draw every time we pan around, and you'll see as we pan, you know...

26:36...you have this big expanse of white space each time you pan.

26:41So in bringing these server concepts to the desktop...

26:46...one of the things at ArcGIS 10 that we've brought in is this concept of a basemap layer.

26:53And the basemap layer is available from the Data Frame context menu.

26:58I can simply say New Basemap Layer, and it adds a layer much like a group layer.

27:06You'll see it get added here, new basemap layer.

27:11And what I can do is I can actually just pick up this whole land base group layer and drag and drop it into the basemap layer.

27:22And what you'll see is two things.

27:24You'll see it redraw the map; you'll also see in the table of contents that there's some new cute icons, I guess.

27:33Right? But it looks like an error, looks like a problem, right?

27:38So basemap layers are our new way of promoting this concept onto the desktop of, you know...

27:44...separating operational and basemap content to provide really high-performance draw...

27:50...but they do not support everything that you may have in your map.

27:55So what we're doing here with the icons is showing you when something is not supported.

28:02When it's not supported, it's not going to draw, which is what we're telling you.

28:05I can quickly show you the performance before I go and explain how to rectify those types of issues.

28:13So I can pick up and pan the map here, and you can see that it's filling in content as I go.

28:23The operational data, though, interestingly does not draw until I stop panning...

28:28...and that is right now a known limitation of the implementation.

28:37The basemap layer content is drawing asynchronously in another thread for those of you who are computer geeks.

28:45The operational content is drawing in the main thread so that it remains editable, queryable, et cetera...

28:52...and we can't draw that while you're panning and zooming and preserve those capabilities.

29:01So one other thing you should note is the first time you create a basemap layer, you may see a little dialog.

29:09And I didn't see that because I use them all the time, but I'll show you the option that you're being asked about.

29:16You'll see in the center of this dialog, there is a Hardware Acceleration section.

29:22And it says, "Enable hardware acceleration for supported layers." And basemap layers support hardware acceleration.

29:28And what this means is they'll use the graphics card on your machine if the driver is suitable, and that will be used to...

29:38...sync up the refresh and the draw to provide an optimal experience where you won't have a lot of screen tearing and other issues.

29:45If this option is disabled or you're not given the option the first time you create a basemap layer...

29:50...it's most likely because you do not have an updated video driver.

29:56Alright. So I have this error situation.

29:59Let me expand this table of contents here, and you'll see I have a bunch of different icons here.

30:05I have an error icon and then I have a whole bunch of warning icons. Well, how do I know what these all mean?

30:10If I go up to the basemap layer and I choose Analyze, you'll see that it's going to analyze the contents of my basemap layer.

30:18It's a very similar experience to publishing optimized map services, for those of you who have done that. It's the exact same dialog.

30:27And it's actually the exact same drawing engine that's used behind the scenes...

30:31...so you will see many of the same errors and warnings because of that.

30:37So what you have here is a list. We have one error and a hundred and fifteen warnings...

30:43...and what this dialog allows you to do is go through all these issues and rectify them. So I can go to the first error.

30:52And keep in mind you can also filter here, so if you have too many warnings, you can turn them all off and turn them back on.

30:58I'll leave them all on for now.

31:00You'll see that layer uses a symbol that is not supported. Well, what's that about?

31:06There's a couple different options here. I can right-click and I can say, "Change the symbol properties"...

31:12...I can view the help for this particular error to read more about what's going on...

31:17...or I can just select that layer in the table of contents.

31:22This is a relatively small map, so obviously it was viewed right there.

31:25If you look at the symbology, you'll see that it's actually a 3D building symbol, and if it opens for me, open the layer properties.

31:40Somebody was goofing around with this map. Oh, wait. Yeah. I'll get to that point in a minute.

31:46Somebody was goofing around with this map and created a fancy 3D building, and if I right-clicked on that error...

31:53...and I opened the symbology properties, I could see that symbol. And there are a couple solutions here.

31:57I can choose another symbol that is supported, or I could remove this layer.

32:03I don't actually need this layer in this map, so I'm going to remove it.

32:07But one thing you noticed is I got to that symbol property by changing the symbol...choosing Change Symbol Properties here.

32:14When I opened layer properties, I only saw the General tab. Well, what's that about?

32:20Well, we don't really want you to go in and change the symbology of your basemap layers actively...

32:28...because that's going to slow performance.

32:31Basemap layers use a cache behind the scenes, and every time you make those types of changes...

32:35...you have to discard that cache and start over.

32:37So we primarily see these as useful for authored content that you won't be changing very often.

32:45If I did need to go and change layer properties, the way I would do that is I'd drag this layer out of the basemap...

32:51...edit them, and then drag it back in.

32:54So I'm going to go ahead and remove this. So I'll remove that layer, and I'll reanalyze.

33:02And you'll see that the basemap layer icon changed to a warning. It always bubbles up what the worst one is.

33:08And you'll see that the remaining issues I have here are all pretty much projection related. They're all warnings.

33:15Oh, what projection is this map in? Well, if I open up the properties here, I'll see, oh, it's in WGS84.

33:23Well, let me choose a projection that the vectors are using here, change the map's projection.

33:32It's giving me a transformation warning. I can rectify that later as well.

33:42And if I reanalyze, the majority of these go away.

33:48So I'm left with, okay, I have a few rasters here that are in a HARN dataset.

33:54I could go through and repair each one of those. I'm also getting a warning about how layers use representations.

34:02We warn you about that because the performance is a little bit slower...

34:06...although you'll need to verify that on your map-by-map basis.

34:11I'm okay with these warnings right now, so I'm actually going to just leave them here.

34:16Alternatively, if you didn't want to see them in the table of contents...

34:19...you can actually right-click on them and say Mark as Exception.

34:22And you can batch mark a whole group of items as exceptions.

34:27So I have my map. I think it's pretty good performanced [sic]. Let's see how it draws. Well, it draws fast.

34:35You'll notice a couple things here. As I zoom in, you'll see that there's actually street labels.

34:42The street labels come from data in the basemap, but they're not drawn into the basemap's cache.

34:49And we did that to promote a good experience where you still get quality labels that are drawn ...

34:54...in the order you want them to be in your map, and we're not burning text into tiles.

35:03So, okay. And then one last item I wanted to show, Rupert hinted at this...

35:09...but we have the new Add Basemap option from the Add Data drop-down.

35:16When you add a basemap, you'll see this gallery here that comes up.

35:22And what we're doing here is we're actually querying ArcGIS Online to get a list of quality basemaps.

35:29It'll come up here in a minute...in a minute.

35:41Maybe...Oh, yeah. I don't have a network connection. Well, okay. I don't have a network connection.

35:47I can show it.

35:48Doug'll show it.

35:49You can add basemap layers and the...

35:51You can add basemaps from ArcGIS.com, and they will get added to basemap layers by default.

35:56So all those great services like the topographic service, Bing Maps, they'll instantly be put into a basemap layer...

36:03...and you'll get this great, smooth panning and zooming performance for each pan and zoom.

36:09So, alright? Now I'll hand it over to Doug to talk about editing.

36:16Okay. Can everyone in the back hear me? Okay. Good.

36:21So as you saw yesterday in the plenary...

36:24...one of the things we spent a lot of time trying to improve for ArcGIS 10 was the editing experience.

36:29A lot of people were able to complete the task that they wanted to complete with ArcGIS 9.3.1 or earlier versions of the editor...

36:37...but you had to be kind of a guru, right? There was one of those people in the office that knew all the tips and tricks.

36:42So we tried to really make it simple for everybody, not just the power users.

36:47So first thing I'm going to do, I've just got a pretty simple map here with some utility data as well as some parcels and some buildings.

36:56I'm going to go in and I'm going to start an edit session...

37:01Get that out of the way. ...and you'll see that I get this window that pops up.

37:05It's called the Create Features window.

37:08And this Create Features window lists all the different types of features that you can create. Now how do you get these?

37:15By default, the first time you start an ArcMap session, it will create a... These are called feature templates.

37:22They'll create a feature template for each legend item that you have in the workspace you're editing.

37:28So while that seems kind of complicated, really the point is it's really easy to use, it's very intuitive.

37:35So when I want to create a point of service...

37:38...I can just pick something out of the list that I want to create and start dropping it on the map.

37:43So couple things there. You see that you get this nice WYSIWYG experience...

37:48...so you know exactly what you're creating when you've created it.

37:50How many times have you guys created something and realized it was in the wrong target layer?

37:55I've done that more than a few times.

37:59So it's very simple, right? So it's got a list of things that you can do here.

38:04Now, of course it knew which layer to draw in, but it also...you can specify a lot more.

38:10If we look at the properties of a template, you'll see that it defines things like a name...

38:17...a default tool that you use to create the feature, how it's going to be drawn...

38:21...but you also can determine what default attributes get defined each time you create a feature with this template.

38:30So in this case, I'm going to say, in this case it was installed by Doug, so from here on out...

38:40...every time I create a point of service, if I look at the attributes, you'll see that it gets that value.

38:48So pretty quickly, you can spend a little bit of time preauthoring these, and then each time you create it...

38:56...you're not having to go back and remember to attribute it; it's being done for you automatically.

39:03Okay. So what is the...one of the most common things that you use when you do editing is snapping.

39:10So the ArcGIS 9 snapping environment is very powerful, but it's also very tedious to work with.

39:18At ArcGIS 10, we've introduced a new snapping environment that is very simple, and it works against the layers in your map.

39:28So if you've got definition queries set or other things, it respects all those values.

39:33That's true for all of the editing experience in general, so attributes, if you've set aliases, if you've set fields to be not visible...

39:41...that information's all respected now.

39:44So I've just grabbed a distribution main template here, and I'm going to just create that on my map.

39:49So the first thing you'll see is I get feedback at my cursor, and I also get a SnapTip.

39:55Now, the SnapTip changes based on what type of snap agent is being satisfied.

40:00So I get a lot of feedback right away to let me know exactly what I'm snapping to.

40:06I didn't have to spend any time setting this up; this is on by default, so just is there for you to use.

40:12And it's also available for tools outside of the editor. So the Measure tool uses the same snapping environment.

40:19The Georeferencing Link tool uses the same snapping environment.

40:24Okay, so created a distribution main here. I'll drop in a couple of services.

40:31So I got a long list of templates here. I can easily... Serviced, not services.

40:42...come up and filter that list to just show me ones that I'm interested in working with.

40:47In this case, I'll put in a one-inch copper service, and as you've noticed there's this little toolbar, the mini toolbar...

40:55...if you're familiar with Office 2007, that follows me around.

40:59So rather than spending time searching around the application for tools that I'm going to be using ...

41:04...this thing just follows me around, provides access to tools; I didn't have to find a context menu. Very simple to use.

41:11So in this case, I'm just going to constrain this to be perpendicular to my main. And again, I'll just finish the sketch.

41:20So very easy to work with. Pretty simple.

41:27So some of the other things that you struggle with sometimes is selection. Right?

41:33In addition to snapping environment, sometimes you spend a lot of time managing your selection.

41:38So when I've got the Edit tool here and I click on my map, you'll see that I get this little selection chip.

41:46And this shows me all the selectable features at that location, so I didn't have to go and say...

41:52...ah, jeez, I've got to turn off one or more of my layers so I can make this selection.

41:58And I can see which features are there, and then I can just select it. Very easy to work with.

42:04In addition, the Attributes dialog, as I mentioned, now respects layers, layer-based settings.

42:11So in this case here, I've got some hydrants.

42:16We've tried to present this in a much nicer way, uses the docking windows that Rupert was describing earlier.

42:24And I have access to a lot of really simple capabilities.

42:28So if I need to change the install date here to yesterday, I can easily do that.

42:35Again, I'm getting all this information, subtype values, domains, et cetera, that you're used to.

42:41One new concept in ArcGIS 10 is the concept of an attachment.

42:44So you may have photos of your assets or other things, and...

42:50...you know, a raster field is okay except you can only put one picture on it...

42:55...and what if I have a video or a PDF?

42:58Well, at ArcGIS 10, you can enable your feature class to support attachments.

43:04And at that point, I can add any type of file that I want to this.

43:09So in this case, I've added a PDF of the diagram, the schematic, for this particular fire hydrant. I've also got a picture of it.

43:25So I can add as many of these as I want.

43:27And these are available, if I publish this out to ArcGIS Server, these attachments will be available in a map service.

43:34So as the desktop author, if I'm starting to capture that information, it gets used every place else inside the ArcGIS system.

43:43Okay. Let's move on a little bit.

43:46[Inaudible audience question]

43:51So the question was, was it attached to one point. It's attached to the individual feature.

43:56So if you have, you know, a set of photos that's related to that particular feature, you attach it to that feature, so it's a...

44:04And it goes along, if you've run geoprocessing operations to generate output, that would go along with it.

44:09[Audience question] Stored as a hyperlink or stored in the geodatabase?

44:12It's actually stored in the geodatabase, so not as a link.

44:17So it's a little different than some of the other capabilities with the hyperlinks that we've had in the past.

44:23So we've talked quite a bit about creating new features, and we've updated the attributes of existing features...

44:29...but we haven't really spent any time talking about how you update geometry of existing features.

44:36And I've got some building footprints here, and I've turned on my basemap layer...

44:43...and you can see that I've got some buildings that don't quite line up.

44:49So, you know, this is one of those tedious tasks, as imagery gets better, you have to come in and make changes.

44:56So if I grab the Edit tool and I double-click this feature, it takes me into edit vertices mode.

45:02And rather than selecting each one of these vertices individually and moving them, I can move them all...

45:10...select and move them all as a group. Seems so simple, doesn't it?

45:17So very easy, very easy.

45:18So I can come in, I can make changes to this building.

45:22If I needed to move this over slightly, I can just select the segment here...

45:30I actually forgot to unsave my edits when I practiced this demo.

45:34So let's just pretend that this was a straight segment when it was initially captured.

45:40You can see that this building is actually curved.

45:43So I can quickly change it to a circular arc and allow that to match my building.

45:55Similarly here, reshape. How many of you guys, I mean, have you used Reshape, Cut Polygons, all these things?

46:02They used to be tasks, and they're now tools on the main Editor toolbar.

46:07So if we go up here, we can see that there's a Reshape Feature tool, there's a Cut Polygons tool, and I can just use those.

46:15The other thing too is that, with the editor, we've tried to make the tools very accessible...

46:20...so rather than having a tool disabled and not knowing what's wrong, we actually allow you...

46:26So for this example, I have nothing selected. I can still select my Cut Polygons tool, and it tells me, hey, I don't have a selection.

46:33Or, you know, if I'm trying to reshape and I have multiple features, and I say, oh, hey, I've got multiple features selected.

46:39Just giving you a lot more information that you don't have to try and figure out what's going on.

46:45Okay. One last thing in terms of attribution.

46:49So I've made a couple of changes to these buildings; I'd like to update the attributes.

46:54I can update attributes in a number of ways.

46:58I can obviously do these one by one. 'Course I can do them in bulk.

47:03I can see that I can change how it was captured and make those changes automatically.

47:10The other thing here is that I can show only the information that I need to show.

47:16Again, because I'm only showing the fields that I want, as an editor, to see, it improves my productivity...

47:23...but also I can order the fields properly.

47:27If there's fields that I need to have access to, that I need to see it in order to make...I need context but I don't want to edit them...

47:34...I can go into the field properties here and mark them as read-only.

47:41So if I come in and I say, well, as a matter of fact, I don't need the street name and the street suffix...

47:47...I can take that and mark that as read-only, and then any place in the application, that will be shown up as gray.

47:54I can't accidentally edit it. It helps me improve my accuracy.

47:59Okay. So with that, I think we'll switch it back over to Craig for another quick demo.

48:07Alright. We're back in Fort Pierce, Florida, this time with a slightly different map.

48:12And what I'll be talking about is the new capabilities, generically we internally call it map automation...

48:19...but primarily it's about making map books in the ArcPy Mapping module and what capabilities are there for ArcGIS 10.

48:30So in this area, I have this water network and a map here with some street labels.

48:36I also have an index grid.

48:38Many of you who work in local governments especially already have a predefined index grid that you may use for a lot of your mapping.

48:46Here I have one, and this one actually was created with a set of new tools we added for ArcGIS 10.

48:52In the Cartography toolbox in the Data Driven Pages toolset, you'll see quite a few tools.

49:01There's the Grid Index Features tool, which was used to create this grid index intersecting with those water mains.

49:09There's also a tool to create strip map index features if you want to create strip maps.

49:17So I have this grid and what am I going to do with it? Well, I'd like to set up pages from this grid.

49:25So on the Layout toolbar at 10, you'll see a link to launch another toolbar, the Data Driven Pages toolbar.

49:34And from that, I can set up what we're calling data-driven pages. And I can enable them.

49:41And it already makes some judgments based on what's in your map.

49:46For this one data frame, I want to set up data-driven pages, and the layer I want to use as the index layer is the grid index.

49:56And because it was created with this tool we have in ArcGIS 10, it already has fields like a page name and a page number.

50:05And there are some other options.

50:07Well, how much outside of the extent of that grid do I want to expand the bounds of the data frame, et cetera.

50:14Because it's actually a square grid, I don't want to expand them at all. So going to make this say size a hundred percent.

50:24And I clicked okay, and it created my pages, but I'm in data view and I also have the grid index turned on...

50:32...so it looks kind of ugly. So let me turn that off and flip over to layout view.

50:38And you'll see here that I have a page layout set up and what we have here is the first page of the data-driven pages set up...

50:51...and there's also an index map that's using a locator extent to indicate which area that other data frame is drawing.

51:02Now, I said "locator." I can't remember the exact term we're using these days.

51:07We used to call them locator rectangles, 'cause they were always rectangles.

51:12They don't have to be rectangles at ArcGIS 10.

51:16So in this case it actually is, but it's a good feature when you have nonrectangular extents.

51:23So I'm going to choose to show the name here of the pages here.

51:31Maybe I'll show a number, or show the page. I guess that's okay.

51:35So I have 46 pages in this. Well, I'm viewing page 1; how do I get to the next page?

51:40Well, there's simple commands here. I can just choose to go to the next page.

51:44And you'll see that it's moved the extent and then the indicator has moved as well, so you can see it traverse this grid.

51:53Well, that's great, right? I have this set up, I have all these pages, these virtual pages here. What can I do with them?

52:00Well, I can export them.

52:04So if I open the Export dialog, you'll see now that there's a Pages tab for PDFs, and I can export page ranges.

52:15I can choose to export as a single PDF file, which is the default; that is new.

52:23So you can export one PDF with all the pages of our grid in there.

52:28Or you can also choose to export them as single PDFs if you'd like to.

52:34Note that there's also an option here for selection. I don't have a selected feature right now...

52:40...but if you think about it, you can now integrate this with your analysis. Say you want to perform an analysis.

52:47Find the areas that have the items of interest, make this selection the basis for your export...

52:57...and export only the pages that you really need for that particular analysis.

53:02I am not going to do this export right now, 'cause it's going to take a while 'cause there's 46 pages...

53:06...so I'm going to pull it out of the oven, precooked, and you'll see that what we have here is a multipage PDF with the 46 pages.

53:18Now, looks good. It has the 46 pages, but it's not really a map book. This is just a giant dump of 46 pages in one PDF.

53:28If you're really making a map book, you're going to want other information in there.

53:32You're going to want things like a header page, maybe a footer page, and whatever information your organization requires.

53:44Something more like this, where you have this overview map as the first page, and then you have the pages of actual map content...

53:53...and then the last page is just some simple contact information from your organization.

53:58Well, how do you make that in ArcGIS 10?

54:01Well, you make this type of PDF by using ArcPy Mapping.

54:07And what I'll show now is the simple script that we are providing.

54:15There's lots of examples of this in the help, and we'll continue to expand them in the Resource Center.

54:22But what you'll see here is a very simple Python script that uses the ArcPy Mapping module to essentially export a PDF...

54:33...append some pages and then save and close the PDF. It's pretty simple, right?

54:45So that one type of map book I showed you isn't the only type of map book that you can do in ArcGIS 10.

54:51We also have, like I said, we have strip maps, so we can do these complex maps of the mains here, is what we did...

55:00...where you have these wacky polygons that are all sorts of angles following the actual lines...

55:07...but then we have nice page layouts, you know, for each one of them.

55:11Now one thing you may be noticing is as I'm going through these pages...

55:15...this sheet number down in the lower right-hand corner is actually changing.

55:20Well, how did we do that? Well, there's two ways you can do that.

55:25You could actually write scripts that go through and edit the text of the page...

55:30...and you might need to do that for some complex scenarios.

55:33Or you can use what we're calling dynamic text. So on this particular map I've set up, I'm going to insert some dynamic text.

55:44And you'll see here, there's a Dynamic Text menu...

55:48...which displays things that some of you have always had to go in and edit by hand in your documents...

55:56...such as where's the path of this thing I'm printing or what's the user name of the person who printed it or even the current time.

56:05That's kind of an interesting one. Twelve fifty-four; we're running a little late on our demos. Better hurry up.

56:12You'll see, if I refresh it, it actually updates.

56:17So you think about pulling out an MXD that you have stored on some file server and you print this...

56:23...it's actually going to print the time you printed it. It's pretty cool.

56:28So I'm actually going to import another common one, which is the data-driven page with count...

56:34...and this is going to tell me that I'm on page 5 of 46 here.

56:40And what we've done in this menu here is we've provided you, essentially, precanned examples.

56:45But if I go in here and I look, you'll see that really this dynamic text is just a formatting tag.

56:53And this formatting tag is pretty flexible, and if you go to the About Formatting Text option here...

57:01...you'll see that there's quite a lot of tags that we do not have precanned defaults for...

57:07...and lots of examples of things you want to do.

57:10Especially when it deals with something like map projections, there's all sorts of items you could pull out of map projections.

57:20Alright. So making map books is not the only thing you can do with ArcPy Mapping.

57:26There's actually a lot of functionality there for inventory-type tasks.

57:31If I go to my home directory here, I have a toolbox with some precanned tools; these are just script tools...

57:42...and I can show you what a couple of these can do.

57:44So I can do an MXD summary. So let me browse for a path, browse for a path of maps, and I'll run this tool.

57:57And what it's doing is it's actually going through all the MXDs in this directory recursively...

58:02...and it's looking at data paths, and it's going to make a little text file report. Pretty simple.

58:08But one of the interesting things is we've written this report so it tells you if there's any broken data layers in those MXDs.

58:17So essentially, you could write a script that'll go through, say, a huge directory of MXDs and tell you what's broken.

58:24How do you do that at 9.3.1? Well, you write a ton of ArcObjects code, or you open every MXD. Right?

58:33You don't want to do that.

58:35Additionally, we can report things such as what data sources are used here.

58:38If you thought about migrating data in the past, you can use this as a tool to...

58:43...know which data sources that could potentially be broken if you move that data and actually update those data sources as well.

58:51So I'll turn it over to Doug again to finish off our demos for the day.

58:58Thanks, Craig. So one of the things that we've talked a lot about yesterday and Rupert's talked about today...

59:04...is the use of online content in ArcGIS, and that includes ArcGIS Desktop.

59:11So the first thing I'm going to do is I've basically got a map here with some information for Grand Teton National Park.

59:16It's local data, but it's a pretty boring map, so I'm going to add a basemap.

59:22And you can see that we have a number of precanned basemaps that you can use.

59:27I'll use the Community Topographic Map and add that into my map...

59:35...which will immediately give me a lot of context about where in the world am I.

59:40Mind you, this map just looks prettier just from doing that.

59:45So what else can you do with ArcGIS Online and online content from within [ArcGIS] Desktop?

59:52So the first thing you can do is you can find content that someone else has published.

59:57So I'll go to add some data from ArcGIS Online, and it brings up this window.

1:00:03And this window, unlike what you saw at 9.3.1...

1:00:06...is a window that's focused on only showing you content that makes sense inside ArcGIS Desktop, and specifically in ArcMap.

1:00:14So I don't see web apps, I don't see globe services; I only see what I can use.

1:00:20So first thing is there's a bunch of featured content. This changes regularly, so it's information that is selected and highlighted.

1:00:31So how do I usually find information? I search for it.

1:00:35So I'm going to look for other information related to Grand Teton National Park.

1:00:40I see I've got a couple results. I get something about the national park boundary.

1:00:45That sounds good; I'll go ahead and add that to my map.

1:00:48It automatically downloads that information, adds the map, adds the layer or layers to my map...

1:00:56...and I can immediately begin working with them.

1:00:59So this was when I was not signed in to ArcGIS Online, so this content was available publicly.

1:01:08I can also sign in to ArcGIS Online and look for other content.

1:01:15And not only will I get content that's publicly available, but it will also show me my content, content I've published...

1:01:24...that I can manage; I can update the properties in here or any groups that I'm a member of.

1:01:31I can also do that same search and, because I happen to be a member of a group related to Grand Teton...

1:01:39...I'm getting more information back.

1:01:41So I can share information with everyone, with no one, or with a selected group of people.

1:01:48So I'll add this to my map as well, and I've dropped in a couple of layers for the trails.

1:01:54So in this case, what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to...

1:01:58...figure out which particular trails in Grand Teton may be at risk of avalanche damage.

1:02:04So I'm going to use geoprocessing, and I'll do a simple clip function, pass in my trails as the input...

1:02:12...use the avalanche chutes that I had locally as my output...or as my clip features...

1:02:17...let it go to my default geodatabase as an output.

1:02:21And while that's running, you notice I'm not sitting here waiting.

1:02:25I can do whatever I need to do because we have background geoprocessing in ArcGIS 10.

1:02:31So I can continue to interact with the map while that GP operation is running.

1:02:37And once that operation finishes, in the right-hand corner here, you're going to see that I get a little dialog...

1:02:44...kind of Outlook style that says, okay, the clip operation finished.

1:02:47And I see I got a new layer here in my map.

1:02:50So I want to share this with other people, these results, so I'm going to spend a little time authoring this information.

1:02:57So Trails Clip 1 probably is not very interesting to anyone, so I'll name it At-Risk Trails...

1:03:07...denotes trails that may be subject to avalanche damage; we'll set some scale suppression...

1:03:25...and I'll change the symbology to be something a little more ominous. Something big, nasty, and red.

1:03:34Okay. So now I've authored my map, and I've authored this layer; now I'd like to share it.

1:03:40So how do I share that via ArcGIS Online?

1:03:44So I can right-click on the layer or layers and say I'd like to create a layer package.

1:03:50I can choose whether or not I prefer to upload that, or I could also save it to disk.

1:03:57And then I can validate that to make sure all the necessary information's been specified, and then I can share it.

1:04:04So at this point, I can put in some information so people can find my content on ArcGIS Online.

1:04:11So At-Risk Trails in Grand Teton National Park.

1:04:25I can specify some tags, so probably avalanche, damage, trails.

1:04:38And then I can choose who I want to share this with, so again, I'm just going to share this back to that same group...

1:04:43...that I'm a member of, this Grand Teton National Park group, hit OK.

1:04:47And at that point, it's packaging that up, it's putting it all inside a layer package, uploading that to ArcGIS Online.

1:04:55So it's very easy to share your information.

1:04:58Now this was a layer package, but the same concepts and the same ease of use apply to sharing map packages as well.

1:05:05So now that my content's been uploaded, I can go back to ArcGIS Online and look in my groups...

1:05:13...and see that that information has been published and is now available for other people.

1:05:18So this is a really powerful way to distribute and disseminate your information rather than DVDs and FTP sites.

1:05:25This is really a great way to share your content with people you work with...

1:05:30...or if you're an organization who publishes a lot of content for public use, this is a great way to do it.

1:05:36So at that point, I think we are over time, so I'll pass it quickly back to Rupert, and he'll finish up.

1:05:46Yeah, thanks a lot, folks. That's all we have time for. Couple of sessions.

1:05:50There's a session in half an hour, one-thirty today, which is going to go into Python scripting more.

1:05:56Also at three-fifteen this afternoon, Building Map Books if you want to drill more into those.

1:06:04Thanks very much for coming, everyone.
