Learning ArcGIS Pro

Summary
You learned how to create simple but effective layouts to frame the 2D and 3D maps you
create using ArcGIS Pro. Layouts allow you to present your efforts in a professional
manner, allowing others to appreciate your efforts. This makes your analysis, maps, and
data more useful to others and helps put all your hard work into perspective.
As you learned, before you create your layout, there are several factors you need to
consider. These include purpose, audience, and situation. Each of these will impact the
overall design of your layout. So, it is important to think these through before you start
building your layout.
Each layout you create will contain several elements, which will need to be configured.
You will need to choose which map or maps from your project to include, what north
arrow to use, determine the scale, and more. The factors you considered will help to drive
the inclusion or exclusion of some elements. To help standardize elements between
layouts, you learned how to create a layout template. This will help brand your maps and
speed their production.
