ArcMap Part 1 Introduction and Working with Graphics Jan 3, 2008 Copy the folder P:\briggs\g6382\Exercise_data\ArcMap to c:\usr\ini\ (where ini is your_initials) Set up links in ArcCatalog to: P:\briggs\g6382\DataSets c:\usr\ini\ArcMap In this handout we will look at various capabilities of ArcMap as examples of some of the things that can be done. However, there is much that we will not cover. You must learn to find out new things yourself using ArcGIS Desktop Help. It is also useful to study examples, such as ESRI’s streetmap application: P:\ArcData_9\StreetMap USA\ StreetMap USA.mxd 1. In ArcMap Go to Start, or single-click the ArcMap Icon in ArcCatalog, to launch ArcMap When ArcMap Starts you will get a “SPLASH” screen 3 options for starting to use ArcMap a new, empty map a template an existing map. Select “An existing map” If P:\briggs\g6382\DataSets\Maps\Ntexas.mdb appears in the list, select it directly Otherwise, be sure Browse for maps is highlighted (click it if not), click OK Browse to P:\briggs\g6382\DataSets\Maps choose Ntexas.mxd and open it.

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 toolbars list without using the View m
