A dvanced ArcView GIS
Description
This three-day course offers experienced ArcView GIS users in-depth instruction in the software's ability to integrate geographic information. Participants move beyond the basics as they perform GIS analysis using the software's total functionality including new geoprocessing tools and projection utility. The course helps participants become more productive ArcView 015 users by teaching them advanced topics such as using sample scripts and extensions, converting themes into new map projections, and making projects portable. Realistic class projects and challenging hands-on exercises let participants immediately apply their newly acquired skills.
Class participants learn how to:
- Align spatial data in views
- Obtain spatial and tabular data
- Manage data
- Create portable projects
- Present data through reports, layouts or dynamic presentations Use Avenue programming language to increase efficiency
- Use sample scripts and extensions
- Perform advanced spatial functions (intersect. clip, and overlay)
- Implement spatial models
Topics covered:
- Spatial and attribute data: Downloading data from the Web; On-screen digitizing; Con' citing and importing different data types; Aligning data sources by changing projection or datum; Managing data sources; Using metadata
- Portable projects:
