Building upon the foundational skills acquired in the first lab (creating a point layer and exporting a map as a PDF), this session will guide you through advanced geospatial computations, data manipulation, and visualization techniques, culminating in the production of a comprehensive PDF map. What You Need • ArcGIS Pro • Review the basics of creating point layers and exporting maps as discussed in the previous lab. Part I 1) Starting ArcGIS Pro Open your existing ArcGIS Pro project. Review the structure and content of your project, ensuring that all layers are correctly organized and labeled in the Contents pane. This step helps reinforce project management skills in a GIS context. In order to open an existing ArcGIS project, you can 1. Locate your project, right click and open it. 2. Open ArcGIS Pro, it will show the most recent project and double click on it. vci.Engr.colostate.edu ArcGIS Pro Home New Project Learning Resources Map Catalog Global Scene Local Scene Start without a template Settings Recent Projects Find lab1 U:\lab\lab1\lab1.aprx 0 √= 2) Data Exploration and Attribute Management Review the attributes of your point layer. Add or edit attributes to provide more context to your points, such as name, category, or any relevant numerical value. 2 Page What is an attribute table? The attribute table in ArcGIS is a fundamental component that displays detailed information about the features of a layer. Each row in an attribute table represents a unique feature (such as a point, line, or polygon) in the layer, while each column contains a specific type of information (or attribute) about those features. Attributes can include a wide range of data, such as names, types, sizes, and other descriptive or quantitative information. From the previous lab, you should have two tabs, one is the Map tab and the other is the Layout tab. Since we will work on the map for the following steps, click Map tab. In the Contents pane, find the point layer you have created and right click on it, a drop-down list will pop up. Click the "Attribute Table" and it will be shown at the bottom of your map.

With at least three points marked on your map, it's time to update their names according to their geographical positioning. This will be done within the Attribute Table. Here's how: Rename Points: 1. North Building: Identify the point furthest north and rename it as "North Building." 2. South Building: Find the point furthest south and rename it "South Building." 3. Center Building: Locate the point that lies approximately in the middle of the others and name it "Center Building." To rename these points, simply double-click on the feature within the Attribute Table and enter the new name. If your map includes more than three points, feel free to rename the additional points as you see fit. After you are done with the renaming, go to "Edit" tab in the top ribbon and click "Save" to save all the changes. If you have done the renaming correctly, this "Save" button should be clickable. (Also save the project whenever you make any changes.)

Let's proceed to further explore the capabilities of ArcGIS Pro. Part II Spatial Analysis 3) To access the geoprocessing tools, go to the "Analysis" tab on the ribbon at the top of your ArcGIS Pro interface. Then, select "Tools" from the options available. Doing so will open the "Geoprocessing" pane on the right side of your screen, where you can find various tools and functions for your analysis.

Imagine you have a map and you want to find out things like where the busiest parts of a town are, how different areas relate to each other, or change the format of your map data to use it in different ways. These tools help you do all that and more, sort of like how you might use different apps on your phone to manage your photos, messages, and emails. The idea behind these tools is to make your map-making work easier, faster, and more powerful, allowing you to discover new insights and share them with others. 5 Page Map XLayout1 1 North Building Ngaol Community Meeting Hall Center Building Building Geoprocessing Find Tools Favorites Toolboxes ✓ Project Favorites Calculate Field (Data Management Tools) Pairwise Buffer (Analysis Tools) Near (Analysis Tools) Pairwise Dissolve (Analysis Tools) Spatial Join (Analysis Tools) Pairwise Intersect (Analysis Tools) ✓ Recent XY Table To Point (Data Management Tools) Buffer (Analysis Tools) Now let do some analysis. 4) What are the distances between each of the points? (In your output map, please list the distances between all the points that appear on your map.) To calculate the distance between two points in ArcGIS Pro, you can use several methods depending on the level of accuracy and context required for your analysis. Here's a general approach using the "Measure Tool" for a quick distance measurement. Ensure you have your map view open in ArcGIS Pro with the points you're interested in. Go to the "Map" tab on the ribbon and select the "Measure" tool.

The Measure Tool will display the distance between these two points. This method is useful for quick, on-the-fly measurements. Start by selecting a central point from which you'll measure the distance to all other points. For instance, in my scenario, I chose the community meeting hall as the central point. When providing your answers, please mention the point you've selected as your central point and document the distances accordingly. Ensure you measure and record distances for at least three points, with at least two distance measurements made. 5) What areas fall within a 200-meter radius of each point?
