00:01All right. So we have a lot to cover over the next little bit, so let's kind of talk about our brief overview...

00:06...some of the objectives that we'll be covering as part of this presentation.

00:09What we want to do is we want to cover some of the key workflows that you'll be working with in ArcMap.

00:15So, one of the most important things, of course, is to be able to make a map.

00:18So, we'll talk about different ways that we can work with layer properties, being able to work with layout pages...

00:24...some different principles on working with data frames and map documents.

00:27So we'll discuss a lot of those different principles.

00:30We'll talk about how to make a map for your print output.

00:34But we also want to also focus some time on how to be able to make your maps interactive.

00:38So perhaps you want to build a kiosk operation or application, or maybe you want to publish your map on the Web.

00:45We'll give you some advice on how to be able to make your map documents more efficient for those interactive type of applications.

00:52Another important aspect is, of course, editing.

00:54Being able to take some features that you have, some feature classes, and make some modifications to it.

00:59So, Danielle is going to show you some cool things you can do within an edit session.

01:03As well as presenting some results.

01:06So maybe you have some analysis that you perform.

01:08You want to be able to display those results.

01:10We have some neat ways to be able to produce those results through ArcMap.

01:17Now, just out of curiosity, as we're looking over the crowd here, how many people consider themselves beginner ArcMap users?

01:25All right, very good.

01:26How many are, consider themselves more intermediate, they've used it for a little while?

01:31Okay, we see a pretty good show of hands there.

01:33Who are experts?

01:36Oh look, you guys are brave, that's good.

01:38All right.

01:39So, we just want to kind of mention up front that primarily we're going to focus for the beginner audience...

01:45...but at the same time if you are an intermediate or expert user, you will get some little tidbits of information along the way...

01:51...so you may get some additional information that you might not already have.

01:55But we do want to focus this presentation primarily for those who are fairly new to the product and are fairly new to ArcMap.

02:03All right, second question for you guys.

02:05Right now, in your workplace, how many people have 9.3.1 on their machines, or 9.3?

02:10All right. Pretty substantial number of hands.

02:12Who has ArcGIS 10 already installed?

02:15Okay, so we've got a few smattering of hands.

02:17All right, that's perfect, because our goal in this presentation is to make sure that when you guys go back to work on Monday...

02:24...you are going to be productive with ArcMap right up front.

02:27So, we're going to primarily focus a lot of the demos that we'll show today on 9.3.1.

02:32Now, we'll also show you, as we get a transition, some also, some different aspects of working with ArcGIS 10...

02:39...so kind of whet your appetite to get you in the mood for maybe moving on to the next version later on.

02:46But, as we go through the presentation, most of the things that we'll do in 9.3.1 will also be applicable for 10.

02:52So, all the little tips and tricks that we'll do as part of our demos, we can do exactly the same thing with the 10 software as well.

02:58So, we want to make sure that, even if you are a 10 user, you are still going to get something from this presentation.

03:05Okay, so why don't we go ahead and get started with just a really quick slide, giving us some context on what ArcMap is.

03:12All of you have used ArcMap before, is that a safe assumption?

03:15Has anyone not used ArcMap, just out of curiosity?

03:18Okay, so all of us had the opportunity to open up the application? That's cool.

03:22So we know what it does.

03:23We know that it is the main application that we use in ArcGIS Desktop to allow us to be able to make some content for our maps.

03:30So you can think of it as an authoring type of application, where we could go ahead and add in some layers.

03:35Make the layers look and behave the way we want them to look.

03:39We'll be able to perform things like analysis, be able to do queries.

03:43Also be able to perform things like editing, be able to make modifications to your data.

03:48And we also have different ways to be able to present results in ArcMap, whether it's a map...

03:52...whether we want to create some kind of output image, or maybe you want to create some kind of graph or a report.

04:00So, we do have a way to sort of centralize a lot of the different ArcMap properties.

04:06Through the Tools menu there is an Options dialog that you can access...

04:10...where you'll be able to change a lot of the global settings that are a part of ArcMap.

04:15And of course you can go ahead and modify some of these settings as you are being able to customize ArcMap for yourself.

04:22There are a couple of examples that we see here on the slide.

04:24We're going to go through those examples as part of this demonstration.

04:27So you'll see that coming up in a second.

04:31So, as part of our first workflow, let's go ahead and start talking about how to be able to work with your map, for print output.

04:40And what we're going to do is, also as one of our missions of this presentation...

04:43...is to sort of minimize the number of PowerPoint slides we're going to show.

04:47We're actually going to demo a lot more.

04:49So as part of the demo that I'm going to be doing here in a couple of seconds...

04:52...I'm going to focus primarily on working with individual layers, so we can go ahead and access layer properties...

04:58...be able to group layers, be able to save layer properties as layer files, and also work with things called layer packages.

05:05So we'll kind of describe what those are.

05:08We'll also talk about how to be able to navigate through the layout page...

05:10...why you would want to be able to create multiple data frames...

05:13...and how to be able to add individual map elements to that page.

05:19I also want to focus a bit on some different types of output.

05:22So if you want to be able to create an image...

05:24...or if you want to be able to, perhaps, produce a PDF file of your final map...

05:29...we'll show you how to be able to set that up.

05:32And finally, we want to do a quick mention on something called map templates.

05:36Map templates are a great way for you to be able to get a head start on your map...

05:40...be able to use some cartographic principles and best practices...

05:43...just plug in your data to be able to make some pretty cool looking maps.

05:49Let's go ahead and start this demonstration.

05:51I'm going to go ahead and move over here to our computer.

05:58Okay. Thank you.

06:01All right.

06:08Okay, so the first thing that we're going to show here is that we have a map document called Yosemite.mxd.

06:13And we have some basic Yosemite data that we're displaying here within this single data frame.

06:18And we have some additional information that we could display here.

06:21So for example, one of our nonvisible layers at this point is fire history.

06:26We can go ahead and turn on that layer and be able to see some footprints of some fires that have occurred in the past.

06:33And we also have a layout section, and this layout section is going to be important for us.

06:38So, our scenario is that we have this point where someone has gone missing...

06:44...and we want to begin a search-and-rescue operation to be able to find this person.

06:49So as we kind of zoom in towards that red point, we'll be able to see the location of the last person seen.

06:56We have a number of climbing points that we see here that we can use as landmarks.

07:01And we also have a grid, so each of these grids are one mile by one mile...

07:06...and we're going to use these grids to help begin to plot out some maps to begin the searching process for this missing person.

07:15Now, what I'm going to first do, is I'm going to go ahead and zoom to full extent so you can see the entire map.

07:24Hmmm.

07:25That's a little bit interesting.

07:27What happens when you normally click on Zoom To Full Extent?

07:32[Audience question] Everything's displayed.

07:33Yeah, you would be able to see all of the layers in your map.

07:36That didn't quite occur in this case, right?

07:38If we kind of zoom out a little bit more, we'll still see that we have a bunch of extra data that's on display.

07:45So if this is our first tip and trick, if you want to be able to modify the extent of your full extent, you can certainly do that.

07:53So if you right-click on the data frame and go to properties, and you can access the Data Frame tab that we see over here.

08:04Here we have an option on the bottom to allow us to be able to set the extent used by the Full Extent command.

08:12By default, it's going to go ahead and choose all layers, but in this case, we can go ahead and specify specific extent.

08:19Here is where we hard-coded a bounding box, minimum x and y values, to be able to determine that full extent.

08:26So anytime we click on the Full Extent button, it will take us to Yosemite Park.

08:32So, that's kind of a neat little thing you can do.

08:36Now I'm going to add in a new data frame.

08:38A data frame, by definition, is just a container of layers.

08:43So I'll go ahead and insert a new data frame, and I'm going to rename this data frame SAR for Search and Rescue.

08:53Now currently this data frame is empty, so I want to be able to add in some data into this data frame.

08:58And normally you could go into the Add Data button, find some kind of feature class in a geodatabase...

09:04...or maybe some shapefile that's out there, and be able to add it in as a layer in our data frame...

09:13....as a layer in our data frame. There we go!

09:17So let's go ahead and access a dataset that we have here.

09:21So we're going to go into this folder that I've got and I have that shapefile of that point last seen.

09:30That big red dot that we saw earlier?

09:32Let me go ahead and click Add on this.

09:36Now when you add data from a feature class directly using the Add Data button...

09:41...you will notice that the symbology assigned to that point is assigned randomly, okay?

09:45So we don't really know what it looks like at this point, although we can basically change what it looks like.

09:51We can simply left-click on the little symbol, to bring up the symbol selector...

09:56...and here's where we can go ahead and make that big red dot.

09:59So I'll go ahead and choose circle 2, I'll change the color to red...

10:03...and we'll go ahead and click OK, to be able to match the symbology of that red dot.

10:10Let's go ahead and turn on the layer, as well, so we can actually see it.

10:13There it is, that's useful. Okay.

10:16By the way, normally when you add in data from the Add Data button, the visibility would normally be defaulted as on...

10:23...but you'll notice in our case the layer was turned off when I added it.

10:27That's another little trick.

10:30Sometimes you might have a lot of data that might take a long time to draw.

10:33So, if you go to the Tools menu and go down to Options, these are one of those global settings that you can change.

10:40So if I click down here towards the General tab, there's an option here for the Add Data button...

10:47...and you'll notice here there's a possibility for a check box to make newly added layers visible by default.

10:54So I just happened to turn it off, so therefore when we added in that particular shapefile you'll notice that the visibility was turned off.

11:00So, that's an easy toggle you can switch on and off.

11:04Another thing you can set on Add Data is Return to Last Used Location, so if you want to be able to access some data...

11:11...and remember that location for the next time you open up Add Data, you can certainly add that option.

11:17Or if you want to start at the same location over and over again, you might want to check that option off.

11:23Also, kind of a neat thing you can change down here, is the ability to work with your mouse wheel and the continuous pan/zoom tool.

11:30So sometimes you might want to be able to use your mouse roller to be able to zoom in and zoom out.

11:35If you want to be able to reverse what is zoom in and what is zoom out on that mouse wheel, you can certainly do that.

11:40Maybe to be able to match other software packages.

11:43And then, what do you want to zoom in or out towards, the display or the cursor?

11:46So you have a choice there, as well.

11:52All right. Now, the next thing I want to do is I want to add in some more layers into this SAR data frame.

12:00In this case, I want to be able to also add in those climbing points.

12:03And I really like the symbology of this climbing point.

12:06So I want to be able to reuse this symbology again.

12:09So, instead of adding it in using the Add Data button and just going to the feature class of the climbing points...

12:18...I'm going to do something a little bit different. I'm going to save this as a layer file.

12:22Layer files allow you to be able to save the contents of a layer, along with all of its current properties, as an .lyr file.

12:31So I'm going to go ahead and save this here in C drive, go to my folder where all of my data is located...

12:37...and I'm going to save this as climbingpoints.lyr.

12:43Now when I go to the Add Data button, instead of pointing to the feature class of that source data...

12:49...I'm going to point directly to the layer file, that layer file that I just saved.

12:53And when I add that in to my new data frame, you'll see that the symbology...

12:57...or the layer properties, of that layer will also be a part of that layer file that I've added in.

13:02So that's a great time saver.

13:03If you want to reuse those layer properties over and over again in different map documents, you want to save those as layer files.

13:12Now, another alternative is to be able to save that as a layer package.

13:19So the difference between a layer file and a layer package is that a layer file saves as .lyr file...

13:24...and it saves references to the data source, but they're not really tied together.

13:30Okay? They're independent.

13:32When I create a layer package, it will basically tie the two together into this mini package.

13:39So I'll go ahead and create this package called Climbing Points.

13:45We'll go to the same data location.

13:54And it will give us some notification that it has created this layer package for us, this .lpk file.

14:02Then, when I'm playing around in my Windows Explorer, I'll go to that data folder, and I'll find that .lpk file.

14:11I could distribute this .lpk file to anybody that I want.

14:14They could double-click on that layer package, and be able to extract the contents of it...

14:18...so then you'll be able to access both the layer file and the source data together in that layer package.

14:23So that's a great way to be able to distribute properties of your layer, as well as the layer itself, the source data.

14:31So layer packages are always a good idea to keep in mind as you're sharing data for, with others.

14:40Now just for time's sake, I'm going to go ahead and add in some other layer files that I've already created.

14:45So I created a layer file for background, for hydro, for roads, and for trails, and I'm going to add that into my data frame.

14:54And let's go ahead and zoom to full extent.

14:57In this case for my regular data frame it will show all of my data.

15:00We'll go ahead and zoom back in towards Yellowstone.

15:07Now, one of the things you can do within the data frame is be able to organize your layers into something called a group layer.

15:13And we see a couple of examples of that.

15:15We see a group layer called Hydro, we see a group layer here called Background.

15:19These group layers allow you to be able to store layers within the layer, to be able to organize things a little bit better.

15:26So I can certainly do that, as well, for my roads and my trails, layers that I've just added in.

15:32I'm going to right-click on the data frame and add in a new group layer.

15:39And I'm going to name this new group layer Transportation.

15:45I'm going to drag it down to the same level as it was with the roads and the trails...

15:51...but here's where I can go ahead and take that Roads layer in the TOC and drag it inside that group layer.

15:59Same for the trails. I'll go ahead and do the same thing, drag that Trails into that group layer.

16:04So the benefit of this is that I can, I always turn on and off the visibility of roads and trails individually...

16:11...but I could also turn the visibility of the entire group layer on and off, as well.

16:16So, a great way to be able to organize your data through these groups layers.

16:22What other goodies can we show you here?

16:25Let's go back into the Tools menu and go to Options.

16:29Under the Data View tab, we have some ways to be able to modify how you work with the Data View...

16:35...in terms of resizing the application window.

16:38So if I were to resize ArcMap, for whatever reason, do I want to be able to have the same scale for my data...

16:44...or do I want to be able to zoom in, or out, based on the size of the window?

16:48So that's something that you can certainly change.

16:51Another thing you can change is the coordinate display in the status bar.

16:55So you can currently see the coordinates that are being displayed down on the lower right-hand corner.

17:00Okay. And it's usually in some units that are a little bit hard to read, lots of digits in these numbers.

17:05So you might want to incorporate things like, thousand separators.

17:09Maybe you want to reduce the number of decimal places.

17:12And then when you apply that you'll be able to see the changes reflected here in the coordinate system...

17:20...so a little bit easier to read as you're navigating through and taking a look at those coordinates.

17:27Another thing we can do here under the Layout View is to be able to incorporate things like snapping elements to grids and rulers and margins.

17:35So you can go ahead and turn on and off those different options to be able to make navigating around your layout page a little bit easier.

17:46All right. Let's go back here to our point, our red dot.

17:51And yes, a red dot's an effective way to be able to symbolize this point, but maybe we want to be able to symbolize it a different way.

17:59So I want to access the Properties dialog for this particular layer.

18:04And as you may or may not know, the Properties dialog is this huge dialog with a number of different tabs...

18:10...to allow you to change some different properties of this layer.

18:14One of the things that we always advise is the ability to turn on and off layers based on a scale range.

18:20So, maybe I want to be able to turn this layer off when I zoom in to 1 to 10,000.

18:29So, just with that simple modification, you can see it once we are outside of that threshold, but once we cross that threshold...

18:36...as you can see the scale here at 1 to 15,000, we'll zoom in one more time, and then we'll see that the point disappears.

18:43So being able to turn on and off layers based on scale ranges is an important way...

18:47...to be able to make more effective maps, and also cleaner maps as they display.

18:54Let's go ahead and zoom back out here.

18:59Now, another tab that is of use to us is the Fields tab.

19:04The Fields tab allows us to be able to turn on and off the display of fields, so maybe if I'm looking at an attribute table...

19:11...I don't necessarily want my users to look at the FID fields or the shape field; those aren't too important to us.

19:17And then we can go ahead and show those attributes that are important to us, such as the Name field.

19:22So we can certainly turn on and off the visibility of fields.

19:26And we can also perform something like a MapTip.

19:32So you can see here we have Show MapTips that will use the primary display field.

19:36If you notice the primary display field is currently named, as we saw here in the Fields tab.

19:41So we'll go ahead and just add that little check box.

19:43So as we hover our mouse over that feature we'll be able to see that MapTip.

19:51All right, let's do one more thing here.

19:54Let's go back to Properties and let's go to Symbology.

19:58Right now you can see that the symbol is this single red dot.

20:02And yeah, we can go into the Symbol Selector, we can change that red dot to something a little bit more different.

20:07So we give you a number of default marker symbols that you can use to symbolize this point.

20:12And some of these might be of use to you.

20:15But the reality is, you can also bring in a whole bunch of other types of points.

20:19So if you click on the Properties button down here...

20:24...you can see that based on a number of different fonts that we provide, true type fonts...

20:28...there are a number of characters that you can use for that point, as well.

20:33You can also see here on the left-hand side that we actually, this red dot is a composite of two layers.

20:38So we have that red dot on the bottom, and we have an outline circle on top.

20:42You can aggregate a number of these different layers together to create a complex symbol.

20:49Now, another neat way to be able to add to the number of symbols that you can choose from is to work with the Style Gallery.

20:58So let's go here to the Tools menus and go to Styles, Style Manager.

21:05You'll notice here that we have a default style called esri.style.

21:11And here is all the default symbols that we work with in ArcMap.

21:15So for example if I go down to the Marker Symbols, here's all those marker symbols that we saw earlier.

21:22Now this is just one style that we provide to you.

21:25We actually provide a number of styles that you can go ahead and access.

21:29So just by clicking on that Styles drop-down, we can go ahead and add in many more symbols based on some kind of category.

21:36Maybe some vertical market that we have out there.

21:39So maybe I'll choose Conservation.

21:43You can see under the conservation style there is a number of different markers that have been added, as part of this particular style.

21:54Now that we've added in that style, I can go back to our Symbol Selector, and because that style has been added...

22:02...all of those symbols from that new style have also been added to our Symbol Selector.

22:06So I can go ahead and choose one of these symbols for display of our last point seen.

22:12So I'll just go ahead and pick one just for randomness.

22:15Just go ahead and pick GIS 1. There it is. Okay?

22:20So using the Style Manager will allow you to access hundreds and thousands of different symbols...

22:26...that you can access through all those different styles that we provide to you.

22:32Okay. Now, let's go ahead and access the layout page.

22:37To access the layout page, this is the place where you'll be able to work with your actual printout...

22:42...you could either switch between Data or Layout View here in the view menu...

22:46...or we've got those little microscopic buttons right down here to allow you to be able to work with the same thing.

22:53Okay, so there's that little toggle that allows you to switch between Data View and Layout View.

22:58So let's go ahead and switch to Layout View.

23:03It adds the Layout tool bar by default whenever you switch.

23:08And here is our beginning of our map that we're going to be building.

23:14Now, I get this question...oh, oops, sorry.

23:17I get this question all the time whenever I teach classes, and that is, why do we have multiple data frames in a map document?

23:23Well, it really comes down to your layout.

23:26Every data frame that you have in your map document should be represented as a map in your page layout.

23:32So here is that first map, that's our map that we looked at earlier.

23:35And then this is that SAR data frame that we just added in from our demo.

23:41So I'm going to go ahead and use this SAR data frame as our main map, and then use that other as our overview map.

23:49Now, just like with any graphics program...

23:51...you have the ability to move different graphics on the page on top or on the bottom of the page.

23:57So I'm going to take this data frame that we were just looking at...

24:00...and I'm going to order it to the back so that we can see the overview map on the front.

24:08Now, this is an important thing to remember when you are working in Layout View.

24:12The Pan and Zoom tools that we're familiar with in Data View, they still work in Layout View.

24:18So I can go ahead and use the Zoom In tool and zoom in to my map.

24:22Be able to pan around and go to different locations on my data frame in the layout page.

24:28That's a good thing potentially, but it's also a dangerous thing.

24:31Sometimes you want to line things up and you want to see certain things...

24:34...but if you accidentally pan and zoom around, you'll lose that location.

24:40So when you want to work with the page itself...

24:42...that's when you want to take advantage of the Zoom In and Zoom Out tools of the Layout toolbar.

24:47So here's where we can go ahead to zoom in to the actual page components to be able to see what you're looking for.

24:55Good, we'll go, go to the full page as well.

24:57So just keep that in mind as you're navigating to the layout page, between what's available in the Layout toolbar and the regular navigation tools.

25:07All right, let's go ahead and add in some different map elements.

25:10So in the Insert menu is where you can add in different things to your layout page.

25:14So I guess every good map should have a north arrow.

25:17We'll go ahead and add in that north arrow.

25:19We provide a number of north arrows that you can choose from, so we've got a lot of different styles.

25:24So let's choose kind of a traditional one here.

25:28And once you add in that element, you can go ahead and drag that element...

25:31...resize that element, move that element to any part of that layout page.

25:38Now the nice thing about these map elements is that they are tied to the data frame that has been added, that has been added to.

25:45So you'll notice that when I added in that north arrow, this SAR data frame was active.

25:52Okay, and so we want to make sure that if we're adding in an element, we're adding it in to the active data frame.

25:58Which you can simply just click on the data frame to make it active.

26:02That's important, because the element that you associate with that particular element will always be associated with the map itself.

26:10So, to illustrate that, if I access the data frame's Tools toolbar and rotate the data frame, it will also rotate the north arrow.

26:22So there's always going to be that live link between the two.

26:26So, just keep that in mind as you're working with that.

26:30Also, if I were to right-click on the data frame and go to Properties, I could also fix the scale of my map.

26:38So if I know I'm going to be making a 1 to 20,000 map, I can fix that scale to the scale that I want my map to be in.

26:47It doesn't allow me, notice the navigation tools all gray out except for Pan, because it doesn't allow me to zoom in and zoom out.

26:53The scale is always going to be fixed at 1 to 20,000 on my map.

26:58And if I were to insert the scale text based on this format, you notice that the scale text will also be 1 to 20,000.

27:11So anytime you want to make sure that your map is going to be a certain scale you might want to fix that scale level on the data frame.

27:21All right, just a couple more things.

27:23Once you've finished up your perfect layout, you want to be able to export that content.

27:28So one of the things you can do is you can choose an image format to be able to export your map in.

27:33So for example if you want to be able to save this as a JPEG and publish this on the Web...

27:38...maybe you want to save it as a bitmap and bring it into Adobe Photoshop and make some adjustments to it.

27:43You have a number of different options of images that you can export your map as.

27:48You also have the option to save it as a PDF file.

27:53So a PDF file allows you to be able to, of course, save it in something that can be read in Adobe Acrobat Reader.

27:59And on the Advanced tab, you also have the ability to incorporate or export layered data.

28:05So do you want to export the layers of that PDF file, or PDF layers and feature attributes?

28:11So you do have a lot of flexibility on how you want to be able to export this document.

28:17We'll go ahead and click Save, and it'll take that layout page that we're looking at and it'll create a PDF file for us.

28:32All right, one final thing before I move on to the next topic, is the idea of data templates.

28:39Or sorry, map templates.

28:42So map templates are something that have been recently introduced by Esri...

28:45...to allow you to be able to incorporate some cartographic-quality maps right out of the box.

28:49We give you all the components that you need to be able to make some pretty maps.

28:54And you can access this through the Resource Center.

28:57So our favorite Web page now is resources.arcgis.com.

29:02We can go ahead and access the Mapping section of this page.

29:08And from here you'll be able to see a link for our, the Map Templates Gallery.

29:13So this is the place where you can download a package of map documents, of some data, of some documentation...

29:21...of perhaps some fonts and some styles, all packaged together for you to be able to utilize.

29:27So if we go inside the gallery we'll be able to see different examples of this.

29:38All right. So one of the things that might be useful for us is this Community Trails Map Template...

29:45...because it kind of looks like Yosemite Park.

29:48So I've already gone ahead and downloaded that particular map template.

29:55And here we can see inside what is included as part of that map template ZIP file.

30:00So we got a getting started document, we have a map document, we've got a geodatabase...

30:07...and we've got a bunch of fonts that have been provided for us.

30:11And if we take a look inside that map document really quick, we'll be able to see the contents of what it looks like...

30:19...based on some of the best practices that our cartographers have incorporated as part of this map template.

30:26It's working, right?

30:32I'm going to cancel this. Oops. It's fine. You didn't see that.

30:41All right, maybe this isn't going to display.

30:45Anyway. Pardon me? Yeah, the map doc.

30:51Oh well.

30:52So in that case, yeah, that's all right.

30:55It's not a big deal, it's going to look a lot like this, and the idea is...

30:59...is that you could incorporate your data into the sample geodatabase to make your maps look very similar.

31:07Oh, yeah, I want to show you one more thing and then I'll hand it off to Danielle.

31:14Yes.

31:15So, when you save your work, when you go ahead and file and save your map document...

31:21...normally all of the data references that you save are going to be hard-coded based on the path of that data.

31:27So if I have a whole bunch of data sitting in a folder called C:\data...

31:31...that C:\data is going to be recorded as part of that map document.

31:36So that makes it a little bit more difficult if you move your data to different locations or you rename something...

31:40...then you'll get those broken links with the little red exclamation points all the time.

31:43You've seen that before, right?

31:45Kind of annoying.

31:47So one bit of advice is to go down to Document Properties from the File menu and choose Data Source Options.

31:55And instead of saving the full path names to your data source of the map document...

31:59...maybe you want to store relative path names to your data sources.

32:04So here's where you'll be a little more bit more strategic.

32:06You'll create a map document.

32:07In that folder you'll create a subfolder, and in that subfolder you could put all of your data.

32:12Then when you save the map document it doesn't hard-code the path of the actual data...

32:17...it will record the folder in relation to the map document, okay?

32:22Therefore, if you move both of these together, your map document will always work.

32:28So, when you are saving your work and you think you'll be moving a lot of the data around...

32:32...maybe you'll want to choose this relative path name as sort of a nice, easy way to be able to handle that situation.

32:41Oh yes, interactive map, forgot about that!

32:43It's still my turn.

32:47Okay.

32:48So I'm just going to go through one really quick example of how to be able to make an interactive map more interactive.

32:53So, the idea is is that interactive maps will be used for editing and analysis...

32:58...potentially be used for the Web, or for kiosk applications.

33:02So what I was going to show you is an example of how to be able to make your map document more efficient...

33:07...and we're going to use this thing called the Map Service Publishing toolbar...

33:11...to be able to read the contents of your map document to make it more efficient.

33:15Now, this might be news for a lot of people here, but for those who have used ArcGIS Server...

33:20...this is something that we have emphasized our server users to use...

33:24...to be able to look at the contents of a map document to serve on the Internet.

33:28But guess what? We can use it too.

33:31So let's go ahead and add in that toolbar.

33:35There's the Map Service Publishing toolbar.

33:39Its main intent is to be able to create something called an MSD file, a map service document, to be able to publish for a Web service.

33:48But in our case let's just go ahead and take advantage of this Analyze Map button.

33:54So what it's going to do, it's going to take a look at the contents of our map.

33:58It's going to offer up some information about how this map could be perhaps built a little bit more efficiently.

34:06So it's going to bring up this dialog box which will highlight some of the different errors or warnings or messages...

34:14...that are things that they are suggesting that we might be able to implement to make this map document perform better.

34:21So for example for our rasters, it doesn't have pyramids. So maybe we want to incorporate pyramids for our rasters.

34:27Notice here we have a note that all of our layers are drawn at all scale ranges.

34:31So maybe we want to incorporate those scale dependencies...

34:35...to be able to make those layers draw faster, ultimately make our map draw faster.

34:42There's also an error here that says that Maplex Label Engine is not supported.

34:47That's of course in context to Server.

34:50In our case, it's not a big deal, we're using Desktop, we can still use Maplex.

34:55And this error only shows up for Server users of 9.3.1, okay?

34:58In 10, this has been resolved.

35:02So this is a great way to be able to just do a quick look-see, let this Analyze tool take a look at your map document...

35:08...and let it offer you, make some suggestions on how to make this map document perform better.

35:15All right, my apologies.

35:16We'll now hand it back to Danielle who is going to talk more about the editing side of working with ArcMap.

35:27All right. Well, good morning.

35:29We're going to switch gears now and look a little bit at some editing tips and tricks, and again...

35:33...everything that Mark and I are showing you is applicable to what you could do in both 9.3.1 and in 10.

35:41I'm going to do a little bit about editing, and then we're going to go on and talk a wee bit about 10 as well...

35:46...as you get ready to kind of migrate in that direction.

35:49I know some of you are getting started with that...

35:51...but I think that a lot of you would be excited when you get back after conference, as well.

35:57So first of all, just looking at a few tips about editing.

36:01These tips are going to focus on efficiency, getting control over these features...

36:07...and being able to navigate a little bit better in ArcMap.

36:11There's nothing more frustrating than when you saw maybe you had an issue in one area, and you can't get back there.

36:17Either you can't find it again, or you can't find it quickly, or to let somebody else find it, as well.

36:24So, navigation, control over the features, and efficiency within the ArcMap environment are the three places we'll focus this content.

36:33I'm going to do a few little slides, but then after that, I'm also going to demonstrate most of the content.

36:41So, first of all, on the efficiency topic.

36:44You have the ability to be able to customize toolbars the way that you want them to be.

36:49It's like this in many of the Windows applications.

36:53So usually when you go to add in a new toolbar, you say View, Toolbars, and you pick from the list.

36:59Well, way at the bottom of that there is a Customize, and if you open up that Customize...

37:07...it then sort of opens the whole map environment, I guess...

37:09...and you could say, you could rearrange tools on the toolbar, you can add new ones in.

37:15We don't have the space on our toolbars to be able to add all of the tools that are actually available to you in ArcMap.

37:21So if you search through that Customize window you'll find some extra tools that might be very helpful to you.

37:28They're written up in the Help, it's just that we don't have them all exposed.

37:32You can also create hot keys.

37:34I don't know about the rest of you, but this whole business of traveling across the screen all the time to get the tool that I want...

37:41...sometimes we could make use of the other hand and use some of our keyboard shortcuts.

37:46And that's what we're going to learn a little bit more about, as well.

37:49So customizing your toolbars, menus, and hot keys on the keyboard.

37:56Another thing is controlling those toolbars...

37:59...and one thing I can suggest is that if you hold down the Ctrl on the keyboard as you move your toolbars...

38:06...they won't be spontaneously docking in locations that you don't want them to.

38:10This will keep them floating over the top.

38:17Now, a little bit about editing, and attribute editing, in particular.

38:23There is a very nice field calculator when you open up the table and you want to edit values within a field.

38:29And many of you will be familiar with this.

38:32But the thing that most people don't notice on that menu is that there's this little teeny tiny control right next to the list of your fields.

38:41And many times you're scrolling up and down and you can't find the field that you want...

38:45...it would be so nice if they were in alphabetical order.

38:49Well you can do that with this little teeny tiny button; it's there for 9.3.1 and for 10, it seems even smaller at 10, though.

38:57And that is that you can sort these fields in ascending or descending order...

39:01...and thus you'll be able to find them a lot faster as you put your calculations together.

39:09Did anybody know about that?

39:12It's so tiny.

39:14But anyway, take a look for that one.

39:18A second recommendation when you're working in the tables and that is using the Find and Replace option.

39:25It's just like, again, if you were working in a Word document or something like that, you can do that within your tables.

39:33And, in particular, I'll draw your attention to the fact that you can select only certain fields within that table...

39:41...and then you could do the search and replace on those fields.

39:46Now, what about those times where you take several fields, and you concatenate them together?

39:52And then you find out that there's these special characters, or maybe you have multiple space...

39:57...in between those fields that you just brought together.

40:01Well, the Find and Replace is your best option for fixing that.

40:06So, you can just do find two spaces, and let's replace it with one space.

40:12And this is going to be a lot faster than using that field calculator.

40:17So you might want to check that out.

40:18It's on your table down at the bottom on that Options button.

40:26And one more thing about editing, and then we'll get into the software.

40:30With the Attribute Editor, when you select multiple features...

40:35...you can then have the opportunity to edit them individually, the attributes.

40:40So you see on the left here, you've got a series of bridges that have been selected and you can see each one of their IDs there...

40:46...and yes, you can visit each one individually and change its attributes.

40:51But what if you want to change one global attribute? Maybe a code's changed or a name's changed of some sort.

40:57Well, you can click on the very, very top of that and change the attribute for the whole list of features that you've selected.

41:04So this helps be a lot more efficient with your editing.

41:08So that's the Attribute Editor.

41:13Now, one more note about navigation.

41:15So how many of you use bookmarks?

41:19Okay, excellent.

41:20That's your first key way to be able to get back to particular areas that you've been working in.

41:27Now, my next question though is, how many of you have used My Places?

41:33Yeah, that's what I thought.

41:35Have you ever wished that those bookmarks were available to you in another map document?

41:41And that maybe you didn't have to...

41:42It's really nice now at 9.3 and 9.3.1, we can export those bookmarks and you can import them into another map doc.

41:49But wouldn't it be nice if your study area, or you could put in a bookmark to your town, or whatever it is that you're working on...

41:57...and you could have that available to you not only in all of your map documents...

42:02...but maybe in ArcGlobe, or ArcScene, or any other desktop application that you work with?

42:09That's what My Places is all about.

42:12So you see here on the slide a little description about the difference between them...

42:16...but essentially bookmarks are available in your map document, and that's where they're stored.

42:21And in fact they're data frame specific.

42:24They're not even available to any other data frame.

42:27But, your My Places, that's something that's stored in an outside file, and that can be available to you in different applications, too.

42:37Okay, well let's take a look at a little demonstration here.

42:53A little bit of musical chairs.

42:57And then yeah, can you do the switch, please? To A.

43:02Okay, well let's take a look at some of this in action.

43:05We are looking at some data for Corvallis, Oregon, a very beautiful place.

43:10And this data, we're going to use this to look at some of the navigation tips that we have...

43:15...and also to look at some of the editing ideas that we have.

43:19So first of all, just really basic.

43:22I can take my mouse and with the wheel on the mouse I have the ability to zoom out or zoom in.

43:29Remember those properties that Mark showed you if you want to change anything about the way your mouse behaves.

43:35But as I zoom in or out with this roller ball, you see that there's also a little tip that shows up to tell you what scale you're zooming to.

43:46Now, in addition, I was telling you a little bit more about making use of our other hand...

43:51...and not having to go all the way across the window to get my zoom in/zoom out, and so on.

43:57So, on my keyboard, I have the zed, or Z, X, and C keys down in the lower left corner.

44:06So, watch my mouse here, and when I use the Z I get the zoom in; if I use X, I get zoom out; and if I use C, I get my pan. Okay?

44:23So right there, three fingers on the keyboard can help improve your efficiency and your performance.

44:30If you're wondering about some of these shortcuts, jot them down in your notes.

44:35We also have a little keyboard shortcut handout that we're going to give at the end of the presentation.

44:42Now, one that I want to add to this, that I figured out this year...

44:46...because I keep challenging myself that maybe once a week, once a month, I add in one more keyboard shortcut...

44:52...and that is the use of the greater than or less than sign to be able to return to the previous extent...

44:59...or to go to the next extent, that I've been using in my sequence.

45:04So, Z, X, C, smaller than, greater than.

45:12Now, it's fine to be able to navigate interactively with the screen...

45:16...but what about going to specific scales that you want to work at?

45:20So we have our scale display up at the top here...

45:23...and it's usually pretty populated with some default values that ArcMap has.

45:29So I can zoom to 1 to 10,000, 1 to 24,000.

45:33But what if you work at other scales that you'd like to include in this list?

45:38Well, of course you can type in a different scale within this area here, and it will zoom to that scale.

45:46And then from that point forward, you'll get that in your list of available scales.

45:52However, if you're working on a production effort, and you have a lot of people who are working with ArcMap...

45:59...you can customize this list so that everyone gets the same list of standard scales.

46:05So here you would be able to maybe type in 15,000 into the list...

46:11...and add it in and make it a part of that main pull-down every time you open up ArcMap.

46:18In addition, if you want to make it available to other people, then you would be able to save those scales out to a text file.

46:26And you can give that text file to your colleagues, maybe save it on a server...

46:30...so that people can access it and then they would be able to load that into their ArcMap environment.

46:37So that does a lot for standardization.

46:41In addition, if you prefer not to see the scale being displayed as the ratio...

46:46...then you also have the ability to be able to display it perhaps with units, as well, and your option as to how you want to do that.

46:59Okay. Well, it's been brought to my attention that we have a little editing issue that's come up...

47:05...and so I want to head over to Grant Circle Area.

47:10So I'm going use a bookmark to take me over to Grant Circle...

47:13...and you might be starting to see where I've got a little bit of a problem that I have to fix up.

47:19Now, in this case here, I used bookmarks.

47:22And, these bookmarks, I have the opportunity here to be able to manage bookmarks.

47:27So these are available to me here in this map document and within this data frame.

47:32If I go into the Manage dialog here, I can navigate these bookmarks.

47:39But not only that, I can save those bookmarks out as well.

47:43So for me, I'm going to save out all of my Corvallis work area bookmarks...

47:50...and I'm going to save these into my working folder for now.

47:57They're going to create a DAT file that I'm going to make use of in a few minutes.

48:04So don't forget about this file that I'm creating.

48:08OK, so we'll come back to that.

48:11Again, you would be able to export these bookmarks and give them to other people to be able to use...

48:17...maybe put those with your scales on the server as your standard set of settings for the ArcMap.

48:26Okay, so what about this editing issue that I have?

48:29Well, I want to tell you a little bit about a few options that you can set up for editing...

48:34...and then we're going to have to take a look at what's been going on over here in this area.

48:39It appears I've had a few of my parcels have kind of slipped over a little bit, so we need to get them back.

48:46I can open my Editing toolbar up here on...from my Standard toolbar.

48:51By the way, this is called the Standard toolbar, and if ever this one disappears, it's the Tools toolbar.

48:58And this continuous Pan and Zoom, you may have noticed on mine, this is one of those ones that I added in from the Customize area.

49:07I really like this one. So...and it's not out by default, so you might want to look for that.

49:14Okay, editing.

49:16So here's my Editing toolbar, and on here I've got editing options.

49:21Now, I wonder what could have occurred to create this problem.

49:26It seems that this group of features that was selected has moved ever so slightly.

49:32Now I've made it a little more extreme so you can see it on the screen.

49:35But this is something that can commonly happen, is that just a little tiny move can wreak havoc in your data.

49:42So, a setting that you could use as part of your editing options to try to prevent that is the Sticky Move Tolerance.

49:51Has anyone heard of the Sticky Move Tolerance?

49:55Okay, a few of you have. This is great.

49:58What this does is that it ensures that you have to move x number of pixels to officially make this a move.

50:06It's very rare that you actually want to move one or two pixels.

50:10And so, you can set it to a value that you think is reasonable based on the density of your data.

50:17I've made mine huge so that you can see when this happens.

50:21So I've got it set at 50. You probably don't want it that big.

50:26Also Snapping Tolerance, so when you're going to snap onto the end or the corner of features...

50:32...you want to have how far, how close do I have to be to actually snap to those features?

50:38And finally this Show snap tips.

50:41You'll see this in action in a few minutes.

50:43I really like this one to help me with my editing.

50:47Okay, Start Editing.

50:50We're ready to take care of these few parcels here.

50:53So I'm just going to draw a little box to select these parcels.

50:57Now how many of you think that I actually got just six parcels selected then?

51:04It's not too likely, is it?

51:06I didn't do anything to chane...to control what I'm actually selecting.

51:10And if I go over to my Selection tab...

51:13...I now discover that in fact there are some bigger polygons around here that I have selected as well.

51:20So now if I go and fix these parcels, I'm also fixing or breaking the city polygons, also.

51:27So the way to change this is, I have a couple of options.

51:30First of all, I can right-click on City Limits and clear that selected feature.

51:36Same with this other background data here.

51:40But more efficient than this, would have been for me to go over to this Selection tab and say...

51:46...well, what do I really want to select, anyway?

51:49And I can use the Ctrl on my keyboard to make everything unselectable and then to say, I want to use parcels.

52:00So, Ctrl and these check boxes, and this is the case on the display and on the editing on the selection...

52:08...will allow you to turn on or off all the layers, and then you can get a little more control that way.

52:15All right, we've got the six parcels.

52:18Next thing is, has anybody ever noticed these Xs that show up in the middle of your selections?

52:24These are very useful.

52:27If you hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard, your cursor changes and allows you to be able to move this selection anchor.

52:37So, in my case, I want to move this selection anchor down to the corner here and, what's my problem?

52:46Yeah, I'd forgotten to set up my snapping.

52:48So let's go into the Snapping.

52:50And by default it usually opens up like this.

52:53I tend to drag that down to the bottom of my table of contents.

52:59I can rearrange this a little bit so that I can see everything, and I want to be able to snap to the vertex of my other parcels.

53:12Okay, so we'll close that up and now maybe we'll do a little bit better with this.

53:15So, Ctrl on the keyboard, grab the selection anchor, and now I can snap it down to the very corner here.

53:24Did you see that little Snap Tip that came up?

53:27That was what I set up on those editing options.

53:30Now, based on this selection anchor, I can move my set of parcels.

53:36Moving, moving, moving, ah.

53:38Okay, finally it moved.

53:40That was your Sticky Move Tolerance in action.

53:43Remember, I set it pretty big so that you would see what happened there.

53:47So let me do that one more time.

53:48Grab the group of features.

53:50Moving, moving, moving, moving, moving.

53:52Okay, now it's officially a move.

53:55Imagine this on a much, much, much smaller scale, using two...several pixels, perhaps.

54:01But that would help you prevent some of these little tiny accidents that happen.

54:06Okay, so we snap that into place, and now we've repaired that error.

54:11Now, I know that that might be a little bit ideal...

54:14...but it gives you a bit of an idea of how you can move those...use those tools to navigate that editing.

54:21Now I can't resist to show you this rotation, as well.

54:25You've got your rotation and if I hit S on the keyboard, I also get a rotation anchor.

54:31So this is yet another anchor that I'm able to use, where I can move that anchor...

54:37...and then now I rotate around the selected one, and I can use the new rotation anchor to snap into place as well.

54:48Yep?

54:49[Inaudible audience question]

54:51S on the keyboard.

54:52So you have your Rotate tool and in order to get the rotate anchor, it's an S on the keyboard.

55:00The Help will also tell you a little about that too, but...and it looks like a plus, rather than your selection anchor, which is an X.

55:11Okay, let's take a moment just to look at those My Places and then we're going to move on and look at a little bit of 10.

55:18Tools...in ArcGIS 9.3.1, My Places is located under the Tools menu, My Places.

55:29And inside of here, oh, I've actually already got them loaded up.

55:33I've got my Corvallis already loaded and I've also got a couple of other locations that I use frequently in my ArcGIS work.

55:43Now, if I hadn't already loaded them, I could say Load...

55:46...and I could go over to that Corvallis DAT file that I exported from my bookmarks...

55:50...and I could bring that in to the My Places.

55:56Now let's see how we could use those.

55:58So I'm going to head over to another map document that I've been doing some work on.

56:04And over here I've just got one of the ArcGIS Online Services being displayed...

56:09...just so that we can take a look at how this My Places works.

56:13So under Tools, again, here, I can open up My Places...

56:17...and now I can say I want to go to that same Grant Circle Area where I had a bit of an editing issue.

56:25So then I can say Zoom To this area, close my places...

56:30...and now as I zoom out, I see that I've actually gone over to this area.

56:35In this case I'm showing it in another map document.

56:38You would have the same thing if you went into ArcGlobe or ArcScene or any other [ArcGIS] Desktop application.

56:44Your My Places would be available.

56:48Before I forget to mention, in ArcGIS 10, My Places is actually on another toolbar called the Data Frame toolbar.

56:57So if you're excited about this My Places, when you get to 10, look for it on Data Frame toolbar.

57:02It's still there, it still behaves the same, in fact it's even better, but not quite in the same spot.

57:09So.

57:12Okay, I'm going to move back over there.

57:27Okay, now we are going to move into a different area...

57:32...and start talking a little bit about the transition between 9.3, 9.3.1, over to working in ArcGIS 10.

57:42So the main place to get information about ArcGIS 10 really is the What's New center, and this Web page highlights all...

57:51...all of the new things that are going on, and very importantly helps you with, How do I learn this?

57:57What kind of training is available?

57:59So if you look in the lower right corner of this window, you'll see that there's some highlights about the training.

58:05Lately we've been doing a lot of one-hour live training seminars...

58:10...which we actually record and keep those as free training seminars.

58:15They're just 60 minutes long, we have demonstrations, we have question times...

58:19...and they're a really good way for us to get focused information out to you...

58:24...about different softwares and about different options you have.

58:28So do be sure to visit the What's New center.

58:33Now, let's take a look at this software and see how we get around in ArcGIS 10.

58:39See how well I can switch my mind over, right?

58:42It's actually not that different.

58:45There's a lot that’s, that, that, behaves differently, but I think you're really going to get used to this quickly...

58:52...and really appreciate the things that are different about it.

58:56I shouldn't say it's not that different.

58:57It is different, it's just that the things that you're used to and familiar with...

59:01...and all these things that we've been talking about so far will still apply...

59:05...but now you've got some new things that you can add in to that as well.

59:10Okay, so the first thing is to get used to how things are laid out.

59:15So you still have your table of contents over here on the left, but now you've got your Catalog window as well...

59:22...so we can access ArcCatalog right here within one application.

59:28So this is pretty great.

59:30In addition, getting used to the way that these windows work, and how to move them around.

59:35So you'll see on each one of these, you've got these little thumbtacks that allow you to pin, or unpin, the window.

59:43So if I pin this down and the thumbtack's vertical, that means it's just going to stay open.

59:49If I unpin it, now it retracts, so that when I hover over top of it, it will open up...

59:56...but when I move away from it, it shrinks back down again.

1:00:02Now, interesting when I do that, watch what's happening to the map.

1:00:06The map itself is not redrawing on you, so nothing's changing about how your data's being displayed.

1:00:11So that's pretty good for your efficiency there.

1:00:15By default, yes, it's going to show up on the right-hand side.

1:00:18If it ever disappears on you, you've got the buttons up at the top here to open up the Catalog window.

1:00:24You've also got the Search window, and you've got ArcToolbox, and so on.

1:00:28So all your shortcuts are up there to get them back.

1:00:32Now, back to navigating with this Catalog window.

1:00:34If you don't like the location where it is by default, you can move it and put it wherever you want.

1:00:40You just pin it down, grab the top of it, and now you can see these little arrows that show up on the display.

1:00:47So, if I wanted to put this over on the left-hand side, I could hover over that little arrow that was in the middle.

1:00:56I take it now, if I want it on the far left side, I hover over the far left arrow, and so on.

1:01:03Bring it down to the bottom.

1:01:06And I'm going to put it back over to the right.

1:01:09Okay?

1:01:10So you can control all of these windows and have them display wherever you would like.

1:01:18Okay, so I'm looking at the same data as Mark was, for the Yosemite National Park...

1:01:24...and I wanted to show you a couple of things about some of the layer adding and some of the symbology.

1:01:30So again, here's my shortcut, C, pan this data over a little bit.

1:01:35And if I open up the Catalog I want to add in some campgrounds...

1:01:41...and then we're also going to add in some ranger station data.

1:01:47Notice in Catalog that right away I've got this home directory...

1:01:51...so it takes me directly to the area where all my data's being stored...

1:01:55...and all the information's available to me. It's real quick to be able to get that.

1:02:00Now, campgrounds.

1:02:02I want to right-click on this and I want to change some of this symbology.

1:02:07So, if I go over to the Symbology layer, just like before, I go to Unique Values.

1:02:13I'm going to go do this by type.

1:02:15Now I want to assign a new symbol for the campgrounds; these green dots don't really represent much.

1:02:22The difference here in 10 is that now I have the ability to search for the symbol that I want to use.

1:02:28I don't have to scroll up and down.

1:02:31Oh boy, it's on its way already.

1:02:36This computer.

1:02:40This computer, we're getting used to our new computers, they've got mouses everywhere!

1:02:45So there's a little mouse in the middle, there's a mouse here, there's mouse here, and I have seemed to have touched one of them.

1:02:50Okay, we will spell this properly.

1:02:57Campground.

1:02:59There was some nice symbols there, but I was planning to use this one here. The civic.

1:03:04But what you see is that it does a search and it will bring you back all of the symbols that relate to the keyword that you've typed in.

1:03:12So I bring in the campground symbol, and then I say Add All the Values...

1:03:15...because I want to symbolize existing and proposed.

1:03:19Now, if I want to change these, I can click on it individually, I'm going to keep the middle of it white...

1:03:25...and then I'm going to edit this symbol a bit further and make those proposed campgrounds orange.

1:03:32So, similar to before, but the nice part is to be able to search for those, to be able to search for those symbols.

1:03:43Now, on your, I wanted to show you a little bit about how we can arrange our tables.

1:03:49Tables have changed quite a bit for 10.

1:03:51All for the better.

1:03:53So if I open up my Campgrounds table here, and I want to dock that.

1:03:57See how I get those little arrows again?

1:04:01So I'm going to take these tables and actually I'll dock this down at the bottom.

1:04:06I've got my campgrounds, now I'm going to open up my Ranger Stations.

1:04:12Well, it appears that it opened right on top.

1:04:15But in my tables, which now have a bunch of buttons up here...

1:04:19...I can arrange these tables vertically, so that way I can now look at these two tables side by side.

1:04:31Down here, I can select a group of features.

1:04:35So I've got my proposed campgrounds.

1:04:37If I change my display up here, you'll see that I've got the proposed campgrounds selected in the display.

1:04:45So different at 10 is that we can go over and look at these in the Selections button here...

1:04:51...the List by Selection, and what you see is that I've got the three campgrounds.

1:04:56So a lot like how I did the right-click and Clear Selected Features.

1:05:00If I want to clear them now, I click on just the picture that says to Clear the View Selection.

1:05:06So, a few a things that again, a little bit different way of showing them, a little bit way of nav...different way of navigating them...

1:05:13...but always improving it and making it a little bit more efficient for you to be able to get the results you need as quickly as possible.

1:05:24Okay, I just want to show you one or two more things here and then we'll take some time for questions.

1:05:29Real quick on this, I'm going to switch over to the SAR data frame, or the Search and Rescue.

1:05:36I hold down Alt, and then I activate that data frame.

1:05:41So that's your quickest way to activate the other data frame.

1:05:44Here you see we've done a suitability analysis.

1:05:47This is a raster layer that was done using some geoprocessing...

1:05:51...to figure out the most likely route that this hiker may have taken to exit from the point that they were last seen.

1:06:00Now, for us, I'd like to show you a little something new as well in which you have the ability to create or to control...

1:06:09...the performance of your map documents even further than just using that map.

1:06:14Service Publishing toolbar that Mark showed you.

1:06:18So here I can create a new basemap layer.

1:06:21I right-clicked on the data frame and said New Basemap Layer.

1:06:24Then what I want to do is take several of these layers, so I've held down Shift, selected them...

1:06:30...and I'm just going to drag them down into the new basemap layer.

1:06:36So, what this does, is that it puts all of these layers together, and it's using our optimized drawing engine...

1:06:42...to be able to display these layers to make them a little bit faster in terms of their display.

1:06:50When you use this, it's excellent for when you're doing editing, when you're doing map display, and so on.

1:06:56If you do want to go into these and change their names and stuff like that...

1:07:00...well, you would probably have to take them out of this basemap layer.

1:07:04Now I'm not going to go too much further with this.

1:07:07You'll see there's a little warning here.

1:07:10This basemap is using the same drawing engine that the Map Service Publishing toolbar also directs you to...

1:07:18...and is preparing for, for ArcGIS Server.

1:07:21Now, if I look on this right-click, however, I can analyze this basemap, just like Mark did...

1:07:29...and it'll open up the Prepare window, and show me all of the things that I could do to improve the performance of this map...

1:07:39...and to improve the performance within ArcMap, or if I want to go further and publish this to ArcGIS Server.

1:07:46So I encourage all of you to try this out, even for your [ArcGIS] Desktop operations, too.

1:07:51Here you'll see that raster layer.

1:07:53Our suitability doesn't have the pyramids built for it, either.

1:07:57How can I fix this?

1:07:58It will either be on the right-click, and you've got all these help links, or, you can go to the Search window...

1:08:05...and here on the Search window I can look for the tools that will help me solve this problem.

1:08:11You can filter on the Search window based on maps that you want to look for, 'cause it's looking for data.

1:08:17It's looking for maps, and it's also looking for tools within ArcGIS.

1:08:21And here I've got that Build Pyramids.

1:08:24So I could quickly build those pyramids and show that.

1:08:29Okay. I think finally I just wanted to show you, how many of you have seen these Data Driven Pages?

1:08:39Anybody seen...? Okay, Data Driven Pages is the option in 10 for being able to create a multipaged book.

1:08:47So, like a map, a map book.

1:08:49Prior to 10 you had a script that you could use called DS map books.

1:08:53At 10, we will use what's called the Data Driven Pages.

1:08:59This is another map document that I previously prepared...

1:09:03...and in here what you need to do is just use the Data Driven Pages toolbar.

1:09:10On this toolbar you've got a Setup button, and it's very reasonable and easy to be able to set up these Data Driven Pages...

1:09:18...I've just enabled it, I say which data frame I want to use, what the guide's going to be.

1:09:24Set that up.

1:09:26And then it allows me in the data display, so Data View display, to just navigate through...

1:09:33...based on the grid that we had for the search and rescue, to be able to look at the map based on that grid.

1:09:41But if I switch to my Layout View, it also allows me to create these...to create these maps based on the same grid...

1:09:51...and now I've got multiple pages in my map book and I can navigate through these.

1:09:59Okay?

1:10:00Is everybody following that?

1:10:04Okay, now these map books, they can be exported to PDF and it would create a multipage PDF.

1:10:12So just File, Export.

1:10:14And then you can create a PDF document that would contain all of those different pages, as well.

1:10:23All right, so let's just wrap things up and then we'll take some questions.

1:10:29So one thing that I wanted to bring up about the ArcGIS 10 is that the context-sensitive help.

1:10:39Context-sensitive help is where you, and I highly recommend you use this...

1:10:42...it's the question mark at the top with an arrow and you take that, take that button...

1:10:48...and you're able to click on information, on a tool let's say, to get information.

1:10:56Okay, so that's this one up here with a question mark, What's This?

1:11:00And then you can click on tools, you can click all over the place in ArcMap to get help.

1:11:06That context-sensitive help, unfortunately you'll have to apply a little Windows patch to get that to work.

1:11:14And so it's KB article 32530.

1:11:17This'll be in our slides published.

1:11:19It gives you excellent instructions on how to just quickly repair that context-sensitive help.

1:11:25But I highly recommend that you use that, along with the Web help, working forward from your 9.3.1 to your 10.

1:11:33So in summary, we've given you a lot of tips and tricks about working with ArcMap in various different areas.

1:11:39There are a lot of sessions here this week that are going to focus in on working with tables and reports, working on your editing.

1:11:46We just wanted to expose you to a few areas and to wish you the best at UC.

1:11:54So we're happy to take some questions.

1:11:55I'd like to remind you to please fill out your evaluations and Mark's going to put...

1:12:01...we've got some of these ArcGIS shortcuts handouts that we'll put down...

1:12:07...I think we'll put them on chairs maybe at the ends of the first aisle and on the back table.

1:12:13These handouts, although they say ArcGIS Desktop 10 on the front...

1:12:17...when you open them up, it also has all sorts of things like this X, Z...

1:12:23...all the different keyboard shortcuts, but it also tells you which version of the software the keyboard shortcuts go with.

1:12:30So these actually extend back to 9.2, 9.3, and 10.

1:12:36Please take one each for now.

1:12:38We just have a limited quantity for the group.

1:12:41If you want to hang out, if there's a few extras, you may take another one...

1:12:44...but we'd appreciate it if you'd just take one each for now.

1:12:48Thank you very much and we’ll take questions.
