Learning ArcGIS Pro

This tool is basically the same as the Add Data button in ArcMap. However, Esri has
incorporated some additional options that the old button in ArcMap did not have. The
options included with this tool in ArcGIS Pro are:
Options Descriptions
Data
X, Y
Event
Data
Route
Events
Query
Layer
This option adds spatial or tabular data to a map. It can be used to add layers, which reference Shapefiles,
geodatabase feature classes, and ArcGIS Server web services. Standalone tables can be added to a map from
various sources as well, including dbase files, CSV files, database tables, and Excel spreadsheets.
This allows you to add points to a map based on coordinates stored in a Standalone table. Each point will
also be linked to the additional attributes or information associated with that record or row.
This shows location of route between points of interest along a linear network.
This creates a query layer from an enterprise database based on an SQL select statement. This does not work
with file or personal geodatabases.
Address
Layer
This geocodes a table of addresses using a specified address locator creating a new geodatabase feature class
or a Shapefile.
The Add Preset tool
This tool is used to add new 3D layers to a scene with a predefined set of symbology
settings.
Predefined properties are determined from a gallery of defined symbology. ArcGIS Pro
comes with galleries for realistic trees, thematic trees, realistic buildings, ground (terrain),
icon points, and thematic shapes. Using this tool to add layers makes visualizing data in a
3D environment easier, especially for those that may be new to working with 3D data.
The Selection group
The Selection group contains various tools used to select data including Select, Select By
Attributes, Select By Location, and Clear. These tools all work very much like their
cousins found in ArcMap though with some subtle differences.
