Adding and Configuring Layers
One of the primary capabilities of any geographic information systems is the ability to create maps that allow multiple data layers to be overlaid on one another. This allows you to visualize the spatial relationships between features in one or more layers.
ArcGIS Pro allows you to use data from multiple sources and formats as layers in a map. This includes data from other Esri ArcGIS applications and other sources as well, such as AutoCAD and web services. This support for multiple data sources and formats expands your ability to visualize and analyze data, regardless of where it comes from and how it was created.
In this chapter, you will learn how to add new layers to a map using data from different sources. You will then learn how to configure various settings for the layer, such as symbology, labeling, and more.
We will cover the following recipes:
- Adding a layer from a geodatabase
- Adding a layer from ArcGIS Online
- Plotting X, Y points from a table
- Geocoding addresses
