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.

Creating a new geodatabase topology


A geodatabase topology is an item stored in a geodatabase, just like a feature class or table. They can only exist and function within a geodatabase. Other formats, such as shapefiles, do not support geodatabase topologies.

Like feature classes and tables, you must create the topology. This will include giving it a name, setting tolerances, adding rules, and adding participating feature classes. To create a new geodatabase topology, a couple of things must be true.

First, you can only create a geodatabase topology within a feature dataset. Second, only feature classes stored in the feature dataset containing the topology can participate in that topology. Third, participating feature classes must not be part of another topology or geometric network. A feature class can only participate in one topology or geometric network at a time. Lastly, you must have a Standard or Advanced license of ArcGIS Pro in order to create a new topology.

In this recipe, you will...
