ArcGIS 9.0 A New Generation GIS for the Classroom ArcGIS Some New Lingo ArcGIS ArcView 3.2 ArcGIS 9.0 ArcView Project File (*.apr) ArcMAP Document (*.mxd) Project Window (None) View Data Frame Theme Layer Add Theme Add Data Theme Table Attribute Table Projection Coordinate System Legend Editor Properties – Symbology Select by Theme Select by Location Query Builder Select by Attributes Convert to Shapefile Export Data Hotlink Hyperlink Script Macro More Than Just a Mapper ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox are designed to work together to perform all GIS tasks. For example, you can search for and find a map document in ArcCatalog, then double-click it to open ArcView 3.2 it inside ArcMap. You can then edit and enhance your ArcGIS 9.0 (Projects) data through the tools available in the ArcMap editing environment. You can search for data in another location ArcMap ArcCatalog ArcToolbox through the database connections in ArcCatalog. Once you have (Map Documents) found the data you’re interested in, you can drag and drop it as a Managing Spatial Data and layer in ArcMap. You canDatabase also drag and drop from ArcCatalog Mapping, Editing, Designs GIS Data Conversion and Analysis Recording Once and Viewing Geoprocessing onto tools in ArcToolbox. you have created new Tasks Metadata geographic information using these three applications, you can record metadata for the resulting datasets using ArcCatalog. ArcGIS Remembering the Old Menus, tools, and buttons switch between document types. All documents (views, tables, Tables contain descriptive charts, layouts and scripts) within information (attribute data) about an ArcView session are stored in their associated themes. one file called a project (.apr). A Chart is a graphic representation A View has a Table of Contents A Layout is a presentationof data in a table. They are that lists in the order quality map dynamically that contains all thetothemes linked the attribute that they are displayed. essential map requirements. data of a theme. ArcGIS Discovering the New Map Documents store maps, data frames, tables, graphs, layouts, and VBA macros (Visual Basic Applications) in a single interface. Both the Data View and the Layout View allow Tableedit, of Contents listyour datadata. you to explore,The display, and query frames and istheir associated However, the Data View better for morelayers.

ArcGIS Increased Functionality ArcMap offers: • a feature attribute window that appears when the mouse is paused over a map object. • a magnifier window allows you to zoom in without changing the extent of the view. • spatial bookmarks identifying particular geographic locations, extents, and scales that can be saved and called up later. • multilayer data transparency that allows you to see layers underneath layers. • on the fly data projection conversion. •ArcGIS enhanced labelling functionality. Increased Functionality ArcMap also offers the capability to: • an extensive collection of predefined styles for map elements. tools for exporting maps in a number of graphic forms (e.g., .jpg, .emf, .png, .pdf). • tools to verify SQL (Structured Query Language) statements before execution. • multiple predefined layout templates or tools to create your own. •edit in either map space (data view) or on the page (layout view). • edit multiple layers simultaneously. • Built in Extensions – Network Analyst, Spatial Analyst and ArcScene and ArcGlobe (the new 3D Analyst).
