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.

Step 4 – Viewing pages in a series

It is now time to verify whether the series is working. You will do this by viewing several of the pages in the series, using the Contents pane to navigate through them:

  1. In the Contents pane, click on the List by Drawing Order button so that you can see the contents of your layout.
  2. Expand Map Frame by clicking on the small arrowhead to the left of it.
  3. Expand Sewer System Map by clicking on the small arrowhead to the left of it. You should now see the list of layers included in the map.
  4. Turn off the Sewer_Index layer by clicking on the checkmark located to the left of it. You should now be able to see the other map layers.

After you enable and configure the map series, you do not need to display the index layer for the map series to function. The layer must remain in the map being used, but it does not need to remain turned on.
