CIS 358 Week 4 Lab Assignment

Due Week 4 and worth 50 points

Learning Objectives

  • Become familiar with the ArcGIS desktop software.
  • Explore various functional blocks of ArcGIS software.

Overview

ArcGIS.com provides quick and simple mapping and (very) basic GIS functionality for free. Maps can be created and viewed online via ArcGIS.com or via ArcGIS Explorer Online.

Complete the following simple exercises and get familiar with the ArcGIS software.

Toolbars

Hide and show toolbars from the View menu.

·         Click View and point to Toolbars.

·         Check a toolbar to show it.

·         Uncheck a toolbar to hide it.

·         For now, show only Main Menu, Standard, Tools, Draw, and Layout Toolbars.

Docking Toolbars

Any toolbar can be docked at the top or bottom or to the left or right side of the ArcMap or ArcCatalog windows. Alternatively, toolbars can float on the desktop while functioning as part of the application. When you dock a toolbar, it is moved and resized with the application’s window. To prevent a toolbar from docking, hold down the Ctrl key while dragging it. To move a docked toolbar, grab it by the vertical line at the left side.

·         Play with the tool bars by docking, undocking, repositioning, etc.

Accessing Toolbar List

You can also access the toolbar list without using the View menu. Simply right-click within the grey area of existing toolbars, or the pull-down menus.

ArcMap Major Features

  • Left Window is the Table of Contents (TofC) tree. Two formats are controlled by the Tab at bottom.
  • Sources tab lists (and allows you to update) source of data; looks like Windows Explorer.
  • Display tab controls map display and legend creation: looks like a map legend. 

(If there is no TofC, go to pull-down menus and select View/Table of Contents.)

  • Right Window is Spatial Display. Again, there are two formats, controlled by icons at the bottom.
  • Layout View (Sheet icon) displays “map layout” (for printing hard copy), potentially with multiple “data frames” each containing a different map (or other graphic).

o    Its primary purpose is for map preparation for printing.

o    It can also be used to manage several analyses as parts of a project. 

                        Data View (Globe icon) displays a single frame (equivalent to a View in ArcView).

o    This is the view that’s used for analysis, editing, and exploring of data.

The third icon at the bottom (a double-arrow) is a Refresh button, to redraw the display.

Deliverables

  1. Include your signature (as per instructions in Lab #1) and appropriate captions to each of the screen shots generated from the above two exercises and save into a Word document.  Submit the Word document created with applicable text and screen shots to the assignment link. Answer the questions below.  
  2. What have you learned from this assignment? What are the issues/challenges faced with ArcGIS software?
