ArcGIS Pro 2.x Cookbook

Chapter 1. ArcGIS Pro Capabilities and Terminology

In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:

  • Determining whether your computer can run ArcGIS Pro
  • Determining your ArcGIS Pro license level
  • Opening an existing ArcGIS Pro project
  • Opening and navigating a map
  • Adding and configuring layers
  • Creating a project

Introduction


ArcGIS Pro represents a huge step forward in Desktop GIS. This new 64-bit solution allows GIS Professionals to take full advantage of modern computer hardware, which brings increased performance and capability that has not been available for the desktop. It also has a brand new modern ribbon interface. This is completely different from the toolbar-based interface we have become accustomed to in ArcMap or ArcCatalog. While more intuitive for completely new users, it can be a bit challenging for existing ArcGIS Desktop users.

In this chapter, you will begin exploring ArcGIS Pro. You will first determine whether your computer has the capability to run this powerful software. Then you will determine which license levels are available to you. This is important as it will impact your ability to complete some of the recipes in this book.

You will then move on to working in ArcGIS Pro. You will start by learning how to open an existing ArcGIS Pro project. Then you will open and navigate a map. From there, you will learn methods for adding new layers and configuring some of their properties.

Finally, you will learn how to create a new project from the beginning. This will include adding new maps, and importing ArcMap map documents.

Determining whether your computer can run ArcGIS Pro


Unlike the 32-bit ArcMap and ArcCatalog applications, ArcGIS Pro supports hyperthreading (use of multiple core processors), graphics processing units, and more than 4 GB of RAM. This also means ArcGIS Pro requires more computer resources to run properly.

The minimum requirements for ArcGIS Pro 2.1 are:

  • Windows 64-bit OS:
    • Windows 7, 8.1, or 10
    • Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012, 2012 R2, or 2016
  • Hyperthreaded dual core processor
  • 4 GB RAM
  • 32 GB hard drive space
  • 2 GB video memory
  • Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 11
  • DirectX 11
  • OpenGL 3.3
  • Shader Model 4.1
  • Pixel Shader 4.0
  • Vertex Shader 4.0

Keep in mind that these are the minimum requirements. The more hardware the better where ArcGIS Pro is concerned. In general, I would recommend at least 12 GB of RAM, an i5 dual core processor, and a separate video card with its own GPU and memory. For a complete set of recommended hardware specifications, you may want to look at my other book from Packt Publishing, Learning ArcGIS Pro.

In this recipe, you will learn how to use the system requirements tool to verify whether your computer can run ArcGIS Pro. This is a free tool provided by Esri.

Getting ready

To work through this recipe, you will need to make sure you have access to the internet and sufficient permissions to install software on your computer.

How to do it...

  1. Open your favorite web browser, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer, or Firefox.
  2. Go to http://pro.arcgis.com.
  3. Click the Get Started, tab as shown in the following screenshot:

  1. Click the link located in Review the system requirements.
  1. Click on the Supported Operating Systems link located on the right-hand side of the page in the In this topic box.
  2. Click Check your computer’s ability to run ArcGIS Pro 2.1:

A new tab should open in your browser and take you to the Can You RUN It page powered by System Requirements Lab.

  1. Click the Can You RUN It button, as shown here, to download the Detection.exe file:
  1. Once the Detection.exe file is downloaded, click it to run the file. This executable will check the specifications of your computer and generate a report indicating whether your computer is capable of running ArcGIS Pro.
  2. When the hardware detection application is complete, return to your web browser to see the results. It hopefully will indicate your system passed, similar to the following screenshot:

Notice that you can see whether your system meets the minimum and recommended specifications for running ArcGIS Pro. If your system just meets the minimum specifications, you can expect ArcGIS Pro to run slowly and require the application to be restarted much more frequently.

If your system failed, you will need to upgrade the components or software that the reports indicate are below the required specifications. This might be as simple as updating your drivers or Internet Explorer. It might require you to purchase new hardware if your CPU, RAM, or video card fail to meet the minimum requirements.

If your system meets or exceeds the system requirements, you may download and install ArcGIS Pro. Please refer to the installation instructions located at http://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/get-started/install-and-sign-in-to-arcgis-pro.htm.

How it works...

ArcGIS Pro has very specific requirements that must be met in order to run effectively. In this recipe, you downloaded and used the tool provided by Esri to verify whether your system met or exceeded those requirements. This tool checks for both hardware and software dependencies needed to successfully run ArcGIS Pro, and provides you with a detailed report so you know without a doubt whether your computer has the horsepower required.

Determining your ArcGIS Pro license level


ArcGIS Pro has three different license levels: Basic, Standard, and Advanced. The license level determines the level of functionality available to the user. Basic has the least functionality, Advanced has the most, and Standard is somewhere in between.

In general, Basic allows you to visualize GIS data, produce maps, perform simple data edits, and perform basic GIS data analysis. Standard builds on the capabilities of the Basic level, with more advanced editing and data validation tools. Advanced expands the capabilities of both Basic and Standard by adding more data analysis tools. For a complete list of the capabilities of each license level of ArcGIS Pro, go to http://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/get-started/license-levels.htm.

It important for you to know what license level you are using so you know what capabilities are available to you. Some recipes in this book will require a Standard or Advanced license. In this recipe, you will learn how you can determine your ArcGIS Pro license level.

Getting ready

You will need to make sure that you have successfully installed ArcGIS Pro 2.0 or higher. If you have not installed ArcGIS Pro yet, please refer to http://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/get-started/install-and-sign-in-to-arcgis-pro.htm for installation instructions.  

How to do it...

  1. Go to the Windows Start button, which is normally located in the lower-left corner of your screen.
  2. Scroll down to the ArcGIS program group and click ArcGIS Pro:

Note

Depending on the version of Windows you are running, your Windows Start button and display might be a bit different. You may also need to click All Programs to see the ArcGIS program group. If you right click the ArcGIS Pro icon you can select to add it to your task bar at the bottom of your display. This makes starting ArcGIS Pro faster and easier.

  1. The ArcGIS Pro start window will appear. Click About ArcGIS Pro, located in the lower-left corner of the start window.
  2. In the About ArcGIS Pro window, select Licensing, located in the left side of the window. This will display your ArcGIS Pro licensing information:

Note

If you already have an ArcGIS Pro project open, you can access this same information from the project pane.

At the top of the Licensing window, you will see what license level you have been assigned. As you can see in the image, I have access to the Advanced license level. From here, you can also see which extensions you have access to. Extensions are add-ons for ArcGIS Pro, which provide additional functionality and are normally focused on a specific use, such as 3D analysis or network analysis. Again, in the image, you can see I have access to several extensions:

Note

Question: What license level have you been assigned, Basic, Standard or Advanced?

Answer:

Question: Do you have access to any extensions, and if so which ones?

Answer:

  1. Once you have determined the license level you have access to, you can close ArcGIS Pro if you are not continuing to the next recipe. If you are continuing, keep ArcGIS Pro open.

How it works...

In this recipe, you learned how to determine which license level of ArcGIS Pro you had access to. You did this by going to the About ArcGIS Pro window from the ArcGIS Pro start window. From there, you accessed your license level information by clicking the Licensing option located on the left side.

The license level is important, as it determines what functionality you have access to within the program. As you will see in this book, some recipes will require you to have access to higher license levels.

There's more...

The Licensing window allows you to do more than just see what license level and extensions have been assigned to you. It also allows you to determine what type of ArcGIS Pro licensing you want to use, check out a license for use in the field, and more.

ArcGIS Pro supports three basic types of licensing: single user, concurrent user, and named user. Named user is the default and requires you to have a username and password in your organization’s ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Portal. Single user licenses are the traditional software license, where the software is licensed to a single computer. Concurrent licenses are sometimes referred to as network licenses. These make use of a license manager that is typically installed on a server and controls how many users can be running the software at once.  To learn more about the types of licenses supported in ArcGIS Pro, go to http://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/get-started/licensing-arcgis-pro.htm.

Opening an existing ArcGIS Pro project


ArcGIS Pro makes use of project files that have a .aprx file extension. Projects store 2D maps, 3D scenes, database connections, folder connections, custom toolboxes, and more. When you start ArcGIS Pro, you must open a project.

In this recipe, you will learn how to open an existing project. Later in this chapter, you will learn how to create a new project.

Getting ready

To complete this recipe, you will need to make sure you have downloaded and installed the data associated with this book. If you followed the installation instructions, the data and projects should be located in C:\Student\ArcGISProCookbook. You will also need access to the internet. You will need to have ArcGIS Pro 2.1 or later installed as well. The recipe can be completed with any license level of ArcGIS Pro: Basic, Standard, or Advanced. 

How to do it...

  1. If you closed ArcGIS Pro at the end of the last recipe, open ArcGIS Pro. If you still have ArcGIS Pro open, click the back arrow located in the top-left corner of the About ArcGIS Pro window.
  1. In the ArcGIS Pro start window, click Open another project, as shown in the following screenshot:
  1. Click the Browse button, which looks like a file folder.
  2. Under Computer in the left panel, select C:\.

If you do not see anything below Computer in the panel on the left, click the small arrow head. That will expand the contents of the computer, so you should see the C:\ drive.

If you installed the book data to another drive, select the drive containing the book data.

  1. In the panel on the right, scroll down until you see the Student folder and double click it.
  2. Double click the ArcGISProCookbook folder.
  3. Double click the Chapter1 folder.
  4. Select the Chapter 1 Ex 1.aprx folder and click OK.

You have now opened your first ArcGIS Pro project. If it opened successfully, ArcGIS Pro should look similar to this:

How it works...

Before you can start working in ArcGIS Pro, you must first open a project. To open a project, you must navigate to where it is stored. In this recipe, if you installed the data in the default location, the project was stored on your computer's C:\ drive in a series of folders, so that the full path was C:\Student\ArcGISProCookbook\Chapter1. You were able to access this project by navigating to that location.  

Projects can be saved to your local computer or on a network server. It is also possible to save projects to external and flash drives. You may encounter issues if you do save and try to access projects stored on these devices because of slow data transfer rates.

There's more...

You are not required to close ArcGIS Pro if you want to open another project. ArcGIS Pro doesn't allow you to open a project if you already have a project open. This will close the current project and open the one you select. To do this, follow these steps.

  1. Click the Open button located on the Quick Access Toolbar at the top of the ArcGIS Pro interface, as indicated in the following image:
  1. In the Open Project window that appears, navigate to C:\Student\ArcGISProCookbook\Chapter1 using the same method you did to open the current project.
  1. Select the Chapter 1 Ex 1A.aprx file and click OK.

The project you originally opened should now be closed and a new project should be open, which looks similar to this:

You have now opened two projects in ArcGIS Pro using two different methods. You will find, while using ArcGIS Pro, that there are usually at least two ways to accomplish any tasks. Often there are more.

  1. If you are not continuing to the next recipe, close ArcGIS Pro without saving the project.

Note

You can alternatively use Ctrl + O as a shortcut to open new projects. Ctrl+S works as a shortcut to save a project, and Ctrl+N as a shortcut to create a new project.

Opening and navigating a map


Now that you know how to open an existing project, it is time to learn how to open a map stored within the project. Projects can contain 2D maps, 3D scenes, data connections, layouts, styles, toolboxes, and more. However, 2D maps are still the primary canvas that GIS professionals work with.

In this recipe, you will learn how to open existing 2D maps. Once open, you will learn how to navigate within the map.

Getting ready

If you have successfully completed all the previous recipes, you should not need to do anything more to continue with this recipe. If you have not completed the other recipes in this chapter, you will need to do so before starting this one.

How to do it...

  1. Start ArcGIS Pro if you closed it at the end of the last recipe and open the Chapter 1 Ex 1A project located in C:\Student\ArcGISProCookbook\Chapter1.

Note

If you don’t remember how, you should refer back to the previous recipe or click the project name in the list of recently opened projects. 

  1. In the Catalog pane located on the right of the ArcGIS Pro interface, expand the Maps folder by clicking the small arrowhead to the left of the word Maps.

Note

If the Catalog pane is not open, check that it is not set to autohide. If it is, you will see a small tab located on the right side, named Catalog. Simply click the tab to make the Catalog pane open. If you have closed the Catalog pane, click the View tab in the ribbon. Then click the small arrowhead located below Catalog and select Catalog Pane.

  1. Right-click on Map and select Open, as shown here:

You have just opened an existing project map. A project can contain multiple maps that can be either 2D or 3D. 3D maps are referred to as scenes. Now you will learn how to navigate within the maps.

  1. Click the Map tab in the ribbon.
  2. Click the Explore tool located on the Map tab in the Navigate tool group.

Note

The Explore tool is a jack of all trades. It allows you to pan, zoom, and access data about features in your map. For those that have used ArcMap, the Explore tool replaces the identify, zoom in, zoom out, and pan tools.

  1. Move your mouse pointer into the map and roll the scroll wheel on your mouse away from you to zoom into the map. Stop whenever you are zoomed in to a desired scale.
  2. Now roll the scroll wheel back toward you in the opposite direction to zoom out. Stop whenever you are zoomed out to a desired scale.
  3. To return to the full extent of the map, click the Full Extent button located in the Navigate group on the Map tab in the ribbon, as shown here:
  1. Click Bookmarks in the Navigate group on the Map tab in the ribbon.
  2. Select Washington Park from the window that appears. This will zoom you to a predefined area in your map that focuses on Washington Park. Your map should now look similar to this:

  1. Now you want to zoom in closer to the block just to the north of Washington Park. Select the Explore tool again.
  2. Hold your Shift key down and click near the intersection of Mulberry ST SW and Sweetwater ST SW. Continue holding down the Shift key and drag your mouse pointer to the southeast until you reach the intersection of Alabama St SW and Joe Jerkins Blvd SW. As you are dragging your mouse, you should see a dashed rectangular box appear in the map. This represents the area you want to zoom into. Once you have created a box that looks similar to the following image, release both the Shift key and your mouse button:
  1. Ensure the Explore tool is still active in the Map tab.
  2. In the map, click the northwesternmost parcel in the block you just zoomed into.

Note

Question: What happens when you click on this parcel?

Answer:

 

If you look closely at the information window that appears, you will notice it shows the information for the City Limits and not the parcel.  You need to adjust the settings for the Explore tool.

  1. Close the information window by clicking the small X located in the upper right corner.
  2. Click the arrowhead located below the Explore tool and select Visible Layers.
  3. Click the same parcel once again.
  4. On the bottom left of the information window, look at the number of features which are being identified. It should say 1 of 2.
  5. Click the small arrowhead located next to the number 2. This will display the information for the parcel you clicked in place of the City Limit.
  6. Close the information window once you are done.
  7. Try clicking other features in the map and using some of the other options associated with the Explore tool to see how they work.
  8. Click the Full Extent button to return to the full extents of the map.
  9. Save your project by clicking the Save Project button located in the Quick Access toolbar.

How it works...

In this recipe, you began exploring the contents of a project by opening an existing map that was contained in a project that you opened in the last recipe. Once you opened the map from that Catalog pane, you began to navigate within it using the Explore tool. You used the Explore tool to first zoom in and out within the map. Then, you used the Full Extent button to return to the full extent of the map view. Next, you used a book mark to zoom to Washington Park in the map. From there, you zoomed into an even more specific area, using a combination of the Explore tool and the Shift key along with your mouse.

Once you zoomed into a block of parcels you were interested in, you used the Explore tool to retrieve information about a specific parcel.

GIS Professional Tripp Corbin's book, the "ArcGIS Pro 2.x Cookbook" (2018, Packt Publishing) is new but I believe will quickly become a valued and oft-used resource. Mr Corbin's goal in writing this extensive (694 pages) resource is to help GIS professionals "create, manage, and share geographic maps, data, and analytical models using ArcGIS Pro." The audience for this book includes all who are learning GIS, or learning Pro, as well as those migrating from ArcMap to Pro. Tripp's "cookbook" theme is evident throughout the book, where in each section and problem to be solved, he shows how to get ready, how to do it, how it works, and ... "there's more" (additional resources). That the book is from Packt is excellent, because Packt offers eBook versions of every one of its books, and also newsletters and tech articles. That Tripp is a full time trainer and instructor is evident--he understands the challenges in learning a rapidly-changing and complex technology inherent in GIS with just enough tips to keep the reader engaged. He includes PDFs of all images of screen shots and diagrams. The examples in the book are interesting and relevant, with humor (Trippville is a community that is often studied). In my view, the book contains just the right amount of graphics. Tripp provides answers to the questions he poses, and then gives the explanation for each answer. Despite the "recipes" provided in the cookbook, not all of them require the previous recipe to be used, which is excellent for all in GIS who have limited time and want to select sections in a non-sequential order. I highly recommend using this book in conjunction with Tripp's other book on this topic, "Learning ArcGIS Pro."

I'm a GIS Analyst for a local city in Florida, as well as a graduate student completing my doctoral dissertation. I found this book incredibly insightful and helpful in learning to make the transition from ArcMap and ArcCatalog to ArcPro. This book works as an excellent companion piece to Tripp Corbin's other book "Learning ArcGIS Pro". Learning Pro is a very good starter that helps ease you into Pro, and covers certain topics such as Tasks and Symbology very well. The main difference between the two books is that the Cookbook goes further in depth into how to use the spatial analysis tools in Pro. This was incredibly helpful in allowing me to analyze the data in my doctoral dissertation research, which involves mapping and modeling the spatial relationships between water quality parameters and gamefish catches within some of Florida's estuaries. The one knock that I will levy against the Cookbook is that it doesn't cover Tasks as well as the Learning Pro book does. This would have made it easier for me to document my methodology, but that is a minor flaw.Overall I wouldn't recommend this book to a complete novice in GIS, because it does make a few assumptions that you know the basics of how to perform GIS analysis and how to make basic maps. If you're just starting out in GIS I'd recommend looking into Tripp's other book "Learning ArcGIS Pro" first, since it does a better job with teaching the basics. However, if you're a seasoned GIS vet, or at least have taken a few classes in GIS and want to get more in depth on how to run analyses in Pro, then I'd highly recommend this Cookbook.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.
