    1. ArcGIS for Experienced GIS Users Theresa Valentine USDA Forest Service Corvallis Forest Science Laboratory Contact: Theresa Valentine theresa.valentine@oregonstate.edu 541-750-7333 FSL 354 Contact: Theresa Valentine theresa.valentine@oregonstate.edu 541-750-7333 FSL 354

    2. ArcGIS ArcCatalog ArcMap ArcToolbox Workstation ARC/INFO SDE ArcIMS

    3. ArcCatalog Explorer for GIS Data Copy, Paste, Delete Create new shapefiles/geodatabases Create/view/update metadata Drag and drop into ArcMap

    4. ArcMap View Data Edit Data Perform some geoprocessing Create map layouts Activate and run extensions 3D Analyst, Spatial Analyst, Geostatistical Analyst

    5. ArcToolbox Perform data conversions Projections Move data from one format to another Export and import data Performs workstation ARC/INFO commands through wizards Some geoprocessing (all geoprocessing will be in toolbox in version 9)

    6. Secret Codes: Right click on your mouse and you’ll find additional functions Data Layers: representation of data in ArcMap, not real data (exception is when you are editing). .mxd is the file you need to make ArcMap work (map document) You can not edit coverages in ArcMap.

    7. ArcCatalog Drag and Drop Create/Copy Project/Projection Define Preview (table/geography/3-D) Metadata

    8. ArcToolbox Activate from ArcCatalog or ArcMap (version 9) or from start button Wizards and Tools for Data Conversion/Projections/Geoprocessing/Etc. This area will expand in Version 9 Can batch/write AML’s from wizards and tools

    9. ArcMap Set up your map properties Symbolize/query/labels/joins/data source Customize your desktop Geoprocessing wizard Extensions Toolbars Editing

    10. ArcMap Data View Table of Contents (Legend and Source) Layout View Page size, toolbar Projects on the fly Viewing tables Reports/graphs

    11. Workstation ARC/INFO Access through the Start button Command line (DOS) AMLS will work, may need to change from Unix system calls to DOS system calls.

    12. ArcSDE Spatial Data Engine Runs with relational database system (here we use Microsoft SQLServer) Special class on this. Very powerful, but more complicated. Stores data in multiuser geodatabase. Extended service from Forestry Computing

    13. ArcIMS Internet Map Server Put your data on the web for others to use (works on browser, doesn’t require GIS software to view the data) OSU Forestry: Server is on Unix, works with data in SDE on windows machine. Need to take SDE/ArcIMS class. Extended Service from Forestry Computing

    14. Exercise/Demo Go to start and open up ArcCatalog Connect to T:GIS drive View data tree Preview data and tables/do a find Preview metadata T:GIS\oregon\willamette\hjandrews and click on geology

    15. Open the metadata editor Create a new shapefile in c drive Give it a projection from an existing coverage Add some items Copy geology to your c drive Copy roads and streams to your c drive Start up arctoolbox Review the different tool options Look at the difference between project and project define
