Overview of this book

ArcGIS is Esri's catalog of GIS applications with powerful tools for visualizing, maintaining, and analyzing data. ArcGIS 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. If you want to gain a thorough understanding of the various data formats that can be used in ArcGIS Pro and shared via ArcGIS Online, then this book is for you. Beginning with a refresher on ArcGIS Pro and how to work with projects, this book will quickly take you through recipes about using various data formats supported by the tool. You will learn the limits of each format, such as Shapefiles, Geodatabase, and CAD files, and learn how to link tables from outside sources to existing GIS data to expand the amount of data that can be used in ArcGIS. You'll learn methods for editing 2D and 3D data using ArcGIS Pro and how topology can be used to ensure data integrity. Lastly the book will show you how data and maps can be shared via ArcGIS Online and used with web and mobile applications.

Editing attributes using the Attribute pane


In the previous recipes in this chapter, you learned how to edit and create new spatial features. However, that is only half of the data. Each feature also has attribute information linked to it. It is equally important to ensure you keep the attributes up to date.  

ArcGIS Pro provides multiple methods you can use to update the attributes associated with features in your GIS. In this recipe, you will learn how to us the Attribute pane to update the values associated with features. You will update the attributes for the road centerlines you added in previous recipes.
