  1. Geo-processing tools Geo-processing tools allow you to work with your data bases on spatial relations. Buffer Creating an area around features... ... at a specified distance ... with distances from attribute table ... with multiple ring buffer • Tools: • Buffer Dissolve barriers between buffers yes no

  2. Geo-processing tools Geo-processing tools allow you to work with your data bases on spatial relations. Buffer Example: • Tools: • Buffer

  3. Geo-processing tools Geo-processing tools allow you to work with your data bases on spatial relations. Clip Cutting the extend of one feature with another feature Example: You have obtained a state wide data set, but you only want to cover your county... Polygon, Line or Point feature • Tools: • Buffer • Clip

  4. Geo-processing tools Geo-processing tools allow you to work with your data bases on spatial relations. Merge Combine features with same feature class (point to point, line to line etc.) Datasets can be adjacent Example: You have a road layer for your county, and now you need to add a layer with recently built roads ... • Tools: • Buffer • Clip • Merge or overlapping.

  5. Geo-processing tools Geo-processing tools allow you to work with your data bases on spatial relations. Union Combining two polygon features intersecting all polygons Example: You have a layer with phases of your landfill and a soil layer. You need to know the area of the different soils for each phase ... • Tools: • Buffer • Clip • Merge • Union

  6. Geo-processing tools Geo-processing tools allow you to work with your data bases on spatial relations. Dissolve Aggregate your data based on the value of a field Example: You have a parcel layer with the information which parcel is served by what garbage disposal service. Now you want to show the general service areas for all disposal services... • Tools: • Buffer • Clip • Merge • Union • Dissolve

  7. Geo-processing tools Geo-processing tools allow you to work with your data bases on spatial relations. Intersect Eliminates areas where two polygon features DO NOT overlap Example: The new landfill should be located within x miles of the two transfer stations ... • Tools: • Buffer • Clip • Merge • Union • Dissolve • Intersect

  8. Geo-processing tools Geo-processing tools allow you to work with your data bases on spatial relations. • Tools: • Buffer • Clip • Merge • Union • Dissolve • Intersect

  9. Create new datasets/layers • Create Layer from x,y Data • Geo-referencing images • Adding a CAD

  10. Create new datasets/layers Create Layer from x,y Data • Requirements: • Create a table with the coordinates and any additional info. • The coordinates have to be either decimal degrees or map units

  11. Create new datasets/layers Create Layer from x,y Data • Requirements: • Create a table with the coordinates and any additional info. • The coordinates have to be either decimal degrees or map units • Steps: • Open the map, load the table with x,y data • Under “Tools” click “Add X,Y data” • Select the table and the fields with the coordinates.

  12. Create new datasets/layers Geo-referencing images • Open the map and load the image • Zoom to the extend on your map • Select the image, click on “Georeferencing” and “Fit to Display”

  13. Create new datasets/layers Geo-referencing images • To add Control Points clic on: • Add Control Points: • Click on a known position on the image • Click on the position on the map

  14. Create new datasets/layers Geo-referencing images • To view Control Points clic on: • Verify results: • Click on “Auto Adjust” to move image • Click on “Update Georeferencing” to finalize

  15. Create new datasets/layers Adding a CAD • Steps: • Load GIS and CAD data • Select 2 points on the CAD • Identify those points in GIS data • Note x,y coordinates for all points

  16. Create new datasets/layers Adding a CAD • Steps: • Open “Layer Properties” of the CAD • Select:“Transformations” “Enable Trans...” “Coordinates” • Fill in the coordinates of the 4 points

  17. Create new datasets/layers Adding a CAD • Steps: • Create a txt file with coordinates • Select: “World File” • Browse to the txt file

  18. Create new datasets/layers Do it!
