This allows you to distribute you data and maps in the same directory. The reference on the map would be correct regardless of where they were placed on the disk.•It is very easy to add layers to a map.–All you do is drag the layer from ArcCatalog to the data frame.Managing Layers in ArcMap•In ArcMap you can…–Change a layers’s text description–Change a layer’s drawing order–Copy layers–Remove layers from a map–Group layers together–Access layer properties–Display layers at different scales–Use data frames to organize layers–Save a layer to a disk–Repair broken data linksTable ofContentsActive Data FrameData FramesLayersMap Data SourcesInserting Map Elements•ArcMap makes it easy to add…………–Titles–Legends–North arrows–Scale bars–Scale text–Label text–PicturesPictureScale BarNorth ArrowLegendTitleTextLabeling Map Features•Labels are text on a map that provides additional information about a feature–Can label on the fly with any or several attributes–Advanced options for label placement and visibility–Labels can be made into annotation layers and stored in geodatabases with relationships to a feature classManaging Annotation•Annotation refers to the process of automating text placement OR to the text itself•In addition to geometry and location, geographic features can have descriptive text associated with them, e.g., streets with names•Annotation may also be a geographically located piece of text independent of other features, e.g., Name of mountain range on mapGeodatabase Annotation•Annotation can be created for feature classes in the geodatabase–Stored in annotation classes (special feature classes) as ESRI annotation features–Annotation classes can be managed in ArcCatalog the same way as feature classes and tables•Two kinds of annotation in a geodatabase–Feature-linked – annotation class is linked to another feature class in the geodatabase via relationship class•Relationship class is managed as any other relationship class–Nonfeature-linked – geographically placed text stings not associated with geodatabase feature classes•No relationship class linking it to a feature classCoverage Annotation•Annotation in coverages can be converted to geodatabase annotation classes using ArcMap•Converted coverage annotation cannot be feature-linked–Relationship classes can be created to link feature classes to converted coverage annotation but the behavior is different than true feature-linked annotationRelationship ClassAnnotation ClassArcMap Editing•ArcMap editor has tools to edit ….–Tables.–Shapefiles.–Coverages.–Geodatabases (personal & SDE).•Direct Geodatabase editing (personal & SDE).•Cad-like.•Rule based.•Long transactions.•Un-do, re-do.•Edit many layers at the same time.ArcMap Editing•All editing takes place within an edit session •Editing sessions are started and ended from editor menu on editor toolbar•Can edit attributes interactively from ArcMap•Can edit multiple features in one session•Can copy and paste individual or multiple attribute values from feature to featureEdit Session CommandsTool Palette for creating a sketchCurrent TaskTarget LayerAttributesButtonOpen Attribute TableRight-Click & ZoomSelecting MultipleFeatures to EditSelect Multiple FeaturesOpen Attribute Tablefor Selected FeaturesSpatial Bookmarks•Pan or Zoom to area within Data Frame•From View Menu–Goto Bookmarks–Type in a Name•Can also create from Identify Results dialog box•Can also create from find dialog boxSpatial Bookmarks using View MenuSpatial Bookmarks using “Find” ToolOverview &
