Book description

Leverage the powerful tools in Esri's ArcGIS Pro to perform geospatial analysis

Key Features

  • Harness the power of ArcGIS Pro to build informative maps showcasing your GIS data
  • Analyze geospatial data through proximity, spatial statistics, and hotspot analysis
  • Increase data entry efficiency and quality with advanced geodatabase behavior
  • Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Book Description

ArcGIS Pro, Esri's newest desktop GIS application, offers powerful tools for visualizing, maintaining, and analyzing data. This cookbook will help existing ArcMap users transition to ArcGIS Pro and teach new users how to utilize its GIS tools effectively. You’ll learn how to create geodatabases, convert data formats, link tables from outside sources, edit 2D and 3D data, ensure data integrity with topology, and enable advanced geodatabase behavior. By the end, you'll be able to effectively use ArcGIS Pro as your primary desktop GIS application, maintaining, analyzing, and displaying data using common methods and tools.

What you will learn

  • Navigate the new ArcGIS Pro ribbon interface
  • Create and publish 2D and 3D maps
  • Edit data using standard tools and topology
  • Link data together using joins, relates, and relationship classes
  • Create a new geodatabase and validate data using domains, subtypes, attribute rules, and contingent values
  • Convert data formats and project data to new coordinate systems
  • Perform proximity analysis and map clusters with hotspot analysis
  • Conduct advanced 3D analysis with 3D Analyst extension

Who this book is for

This book is for GIS professionals, architects, specialists, analysts, and technicians looking to learn how to use ArcGIS Pro and the powerful data editing, analysis, and creation tools it offers. Those who are just getting started with ArcGIS Pro and wish to expand their skills, as well as those who want to migrate to this platform will also find this book helpful. While some basic GIS experience is helpful, it’s not a prerequisite.
