ArcGIS Pro Workflows: From Data Import to Map Output

Learn the basics of ArcGIS Pro to improve your map making, find and manipulate data, and create powerful visualizations that deliver location intelligence and support digital transformation.

Navigate a map in ArcGIS Pro by using the explore tool to pan and zoom around London, locate Jubilee Garden with coordinates, and save a Jubilee Garden bookmark.

Create an ArcGIS Pro project, sign in, and name the map London City, saving it to a folder. Open the project to view a map with a topographic base map.

Locate London on the map using the locate pane and geocoding service, then rename the map to London in the map properties and save the project.

Add data from a data file geodatabase to switch the basemap to imagery, then create a new parcel selection layer from a selected feature and clear the selection.

Import feature classes into a geodatabase from the Atlanta data dataset by using import feature classes, choosing auto or browsing data, then running to load multiple features.

Create a feature class in ArcGIS Pro by defining a line feature named Atlanta Road, adding fields for road name and length, setting the alias, and selecting a spatial reference.

Set the scale, then create a polyline feature by selecting the line tool, placing vertices on the map, using segment tools to refine, and finishing to name the road.

Select a feature with the map select tool, zoom to the selection, and export the cup feature to a new layer. Save the project by group in GIS training folder.

Learn to import a map in ArcGIS Pro, apply unique value symbology to the city layer by name, and adjust transparency to 30 percent.

Learn to generate and place descriptive text on maps by labeling city and county layers, creating label classes, and applying SQL expressions to customize color and size.

Apply selection tools in ArcGIS Pro to identify cities intersecting the bike route, then select hotels within half mile of the route, refine with attribute queries, and save the project.

Learn to create a page layout for map printing by adding guides, setting margins, inserting a map frame for city and highways, then pan and zoom using the explore tool.

Add a legend, north arrow, and scale bar to the layout to explain map symbology and provide geographic context.

Insert a map title and descriptive text using the rectangle text tool, format with bold 26-point font, and add dynamic text for scale and spatial reference, then save.

Insert a grid into the map frame from the gallery via insert tab, then customize its appearance in the element panel, including draw parallel to grid edge and north/east visibility.
