Learning ArcGIS Pro 2 - Second Edition

By: Tripp Corbin GISP

Overview of this book

Armed with powerful tools to visualize, maintain, and analyze data, ArcGIS Pro 2 is Esri's newest desktop geographic information system (GIS) application that uses the modern ribbon interface and a 64-bit processor to make using GIS faster and more efficient. This second edition of Learning ArcGIS Pro will show you how you can use this powerful desktop GIS application to create maps, perform spatial analysis, and maintain data. The book begins by showing you how to install ArcGIS and listing the software and hardware prerequisites. You’ll then understand the concept of named user licensing and learn how to navigate the new ribbon interface to leverage the power of ArcGIS Pro for managing geospatial data. Once you’ve got to grips with the new interface, you’ll build your first GIS project and understand how to use the different project resources available. The book shows you how to create 2D and 3D maps by adding layers and setting and managing the symbology and labeling. You’ll also discover how to use the analysis tool to visualize geospatial data. In later chapters, you’ll be introduced to Arcade, the new lightweight expression language for ArcGIS, and then advance to creating complex labels using Arcade expressions. Finally, you'll use Python scripts to automate and standardize tasks and models in ArcGIS Pro. By the end of this ArcGIS Pro book, you’ll have developed the core skills needed for using ArcGIS Pro 2.x competently.

Exporting tables

If you just need to export the attributes found in the Attribute table for a layer, you can export the information to various formats as well. This can be accomplished in two ways:

  1. The first is from the Table pane. Click on the options button (the three horizontal lines) in the upper-right corner, and select the Export table option, as shown in the following screenshot:

  1. The second way is to go straight to the Copy Rows geoprocessing tool, located in the Data Management Tools toolbox and the Tables toolset. Both methods end up producing the same result.

Both of the previously stated methods will allow you to export an entire table or a set of selected records to another table. You have the option of exporting to the following formats and types:

  • A geodatabase standalone table
  • dBase (.dbf)
  • Comma-delimited text...
