Learning ArcGIS Pro

Chapter 1. Introducing ArcGIS Pro

Esri's ArcGIS platform has become well-entrenched as the primary solution for GIS professionals seeking to implement a scalable integrated solution, which can start with a single user and grow to support multiple users across various platforms. With ArcGIS for Desktop, ArcGIS for Server, ArcGIS Online, and ArcGIS for Mobile, GIS professionals can design and implement a robust GIS solution that provides a wide range of functionality to meet the needs of a growing enterprise, which includes users of various skill levels, requirements, differing platforms, and data formats. However, Esri has not been content to rest on their laurels. They continue to push the GIS envelope. With the release of ArcGIS 10.3, Esri released a new desktop application named ArcGIS Pro.

ArcGIS Pro is a completely new application from Esri. It is not just an update to their venerable ArcGIS for Desktop platform. ArcGIS Pro has a modern ribbon interface that has become common in most current desktop applications. It is also designed from the ground up to take full advantage of modern hyperthreaded 64-bit architecture. This greatly improves its performance compared to ArcMap and ArcCatalog. In this chapter, we will begin to take a look at this new robust and smart interface.

ArcGIS Pro also introduces a new licensing model to Esri users. It makes use of a subscription license, opposed to the standard single use or concurrent use license. Licenses of ArcGIS Pro are tied directly to the annual maintenance of your traditional ArcGIS for Desktop software and managed through ArcGIS Online. You will learn more about this later in the chapter.

ArcGIS Pro allows you to combine 2D and 3D content within a single application. In the past, you would need to utilize multiple applications, such as ArcMap, ArcScene, and ArcGlobe, to view 2D and 3D content. In this chapter, you will examine how you can view both 2D and 3D data within a single ArcGIS Pro project.

In this chapter, you will

  • Learn the requirements to install ArcGIS Pro
  • Get a general overview of ArcGIS Pro functionality
  • Learn how to manage ArcGIS Pro licenses through ArcGIS Online
  • Understand the relationship between ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS for Desktop licenses

Description

ArcGIS Pro is Esri’s newest desktop GIS application with powerful tools for visualizing, maintaining, and analyzing data. ArcGIS Pro makes use of the modern ribbon interface and 64-bit processing to increase the speed and efficiency of using GIS. It allows users to create amazing maps in both 2D and 3D quickly and easily. This book will take you from software installation to performing geospatial analysis. It is packed with how-to’s for a host of commonly-performed tasks. You will start by learning how to download and install the software including hardware limitations and recommendations. Then you are exposed to the new Ribbon interface and how its smart design can make finding tools easier. After you are exposed to the new interface, you are walked through the steps to create a new GIS Project to provide quick access to project resources. With a project created, you will learn how to construct 2D and 3D maps including how to add layers, adjust symbology, and control labeling. Next you will learn how to access and use analysis tools to help you answer real-world questions. Lastly, you will learn how processes can be automated and standardized in ArcGIS Pro using Tasks, Models, and Python Scripts. This book will provide an invaluable resource for all those seeking to use ArcGIS Pro as their primary GIS application or for those looking to migrate from ArcMap and ArcCatalog.

What you will learn

  • Install ArcGIS Pro and assign licenses to users in your organization
  • Navigate and use the ArcGIS Pro ribbon interface to create maps and perform geospatial analysis
  • Create and manage projects in ArcGIS Pro
  • Author map layouts using cartographic tools and implement best practicesfor presenting the results of your analyses and maps
  • Import existing map documents, scenes, and globes into your new ArcGIS Pro projects quickly
  • Create standardized workflows using Tasks
  • Automate analyses and processes using ModelBuilder and Python

I was a technical reviewer for this book, and enjoyed reading and reviewing it.It's presented in a workbook type format with step-by-step instructions and explanations throughout the chapters. It familiarizes the reader with the new modern ribbon interface, and goes through the different tools (analysis, automation, etc) and capabilities (projects, tasks, etc) of the software. This will benefit users who are new to the platform, and want to learn how to get started.Tripp does an excellent job showing what ArcGIS Pro is capable of and how to get started creating your own projects.

Helped me understand the interface, which can be confusing, as well as how to properly use the tools for 2D/3D projects. Images and diagrams are clear and understandable as well. The book dives into python as well to help you automate processing with ModelBuilder, which to me is a wonderful strategy, but not the main focus of the book. You really get to know how to layout nice maps and create custom layouts. I had only worked with QGIS Desktop before this and I love the features ArcGIS Pro brings to the presentation of your data/maps. Well done book. If you've invested in the money in one of the ArcGIS Pro licenses, then you really should go one step further to understand it's full features and buy this book.

Excellent quality with quality material coverage, practical, concise, and organized. The book was easy to follow along and the common tasks covered are most likely the highest used features. The book is worth it if your looking to get started with ArcGIS, even after going over the book you'll find yourself going back over it if you're anything like me. Highly recommend this book.

Book is well written and thorough. Does a really great job making a complex and un-intuitive interface usable. Core topic approach is very understandable and really makes tackling the learning curve on this package much lower.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access.
