Step 2 – Setting up a default map in the template

Now that you have opened a new project and established some default connections to databases and styles, you will now create a default map that will be included in the template. You will configure a basemap and then set a default view extent:

  1. In the Contents pane, right-click on Project and select New Map. This will add a new map to your project.
  2. On the Map group tab in the ribbon, click on the small drop-down arrow under Basemap and select Imagery.
  3. In the Catalog pane, expand the Databases folder and the Trippville_GIS geodatabase that are you connected to.
  1. Expand the Base feature dataset and right-click on the City_Limit feature class, then select Add to Current Map.

Your map should zoom to the new City Limits layer you just added, so it should look similar to the following screenshot:
