Bluff Series : Mastering ArcGIS PRO 3

We will make a comparison between ArcGIS Pro versus ArcGIS Desktop where the differences are such as catalog, table of content, table attributes and layout design.

Open and create a new project in ArcGIS Pro, open the catalog, add folders in the catalog, view shp and raster preview data in Metadata

We will explore and navigate spatial data in ArcGIS Pro which can provide an initial preview of what the data is, how it looks, how detailed it is, etc.

ArcGIS Pro also has the ability to export/convert shapefiles to other file formats. In this course, we convert shp to KML and GeoJSON, two popular formats that can be used in other GIS applications such as GoogleEarth, GoogleMap, or QGIS.

Navigate and introduce table of content icon tools to manage spatial data more easily. These tools are list by image order, list by source, list by visibility, list by selection and options.

With the attribute table open, we explore the tools/icons in the attribute table to understand more about it so that it is easier for us to manage spatial data. The toolbar in the attribute table is select by attribute, switch selection, clear selection, zoom to selection. And menus such as short ascending descending, advanced short, Summarize, Field calculator, calculate geometry, turn field off/on, freeze and unfreeze column, Using field alias in properties, etc.

Relative path in ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Desktop. Here we will learn whether we still need to use relative path in ArcGISPro like the settings we do in ArcGIS desktop, namely Arc Map.

Arrange tabs in ArcGIS Pro such as Map tab, Attribute table tab, statistics tab and others. The position of these tabs can be customized horizontally and vertically

Information that describes items in ArcGIS PRO is called metadata. When care is taken to provide good descriptions, you can find appropriate items with a search and evaluate which of the items in your search results is the correct one to use.

In an item's metadata you can record whatever information is important for your organization to know about that item. This might include information about how accurate and recent the item is, restrictions associated with using and sharing the item, important processes in its life cycle such as generalizing features, and so on.

Geographic Coordinate System (GCS) is useful for determining direction and location, but not for measuring area or length. For this measurement purpose, we need to convert this GCS into Projected Coordinate System (PCS) namely Universe Transverse Mercator (UTM). Here we will convert from GCS to PCS/UTM

Create a new field/column in SHP and fill it with some data using the field calculator. You can fill it out in its entirety or just the selected ones.

Calculate area in Hectare with GCS and PCS/UTM. Compare calculations between GCS and PCS/UTM, so make us understand why we have to convert GCS spatial data into PCS/UTM

Calculate length in Kilometer with GCS and PCS/UTM

How to change color of selected features and background color as well

Create a thematic map with area (polygon), line (polyline), and point features and add labels based on fields/columns.

thematic maps are created based on unique values ​​from a field/column, the values ​​in this field are case sensitive (except for fields with a numeric type), so Home and home for us are the same object, but for ArcGIS Pro, these two things are different objects

Create a choropleth map that uses the gradient classification method to distribute the gradient colors of numeric fields/columns from the lowest to the highest values.

Save the properties and label settings such as teamtik and choropleth to a Layer File. If we create a new map and need a layer or shp that contains thematic or choropleth then we can just call this Layer File

We will design a layout for a thematic map, set the paper size, place the layout elements, adjust them to fit the design and export the map layout to JPEG and PDF. This layout model will use a full page by inserting map elements into the map section.

We will design a layout for a choropleth map, set the paper size, place the layout elements, adjust them to fit the design and export the map layout to JPEG and PDF. This layout model will use a full page by inserting map elements into the map section.

Create a new shp with polygon features and start digitizing spatial objects on the locally exported OSM raster as a background.

Create a new shp with polyline features and start digitizing spatial objects on the locally exported OSM raster as a background.

Create a new shp with point features and start digitizing spatial objects on the locally exported OSM raster as a background.

We will use four ungeoreference rasters for this section. This rasters are coming from layouts exported and in JPEG format

We will georeference the raster that has the Decimal Degree/DD grid

We will georeference the raster that has the Degree Minutes Second/DMS grid

We will georeference the raster that has none grid information. We will georeference this raster by referring or registering some points based on two already georeferenced rasters above, or we can use vector data like a shapefile

We will georeference the raster that has the grid of UTM zone 47N
