Exercise 2A – working with the MAP tab<br />

You will now get to take some of the tools we discussed for a test drive. You will see how<br />

they work within the new ribbon interface and some of the options associated with those<br />

tools first hand. You will start by opening an existing project and using the navigation<br />

tools.<br />

Step 1 – opening a project<br />

In this step, you will open a project that has already been created. This project includes a<br />

single 2D map with several layers for the imaginary City of Trippville:<br />

1. Start <strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Pro</strong>. Remember that you will need to make sure that you are connected<br />

to the Internet, so your license can be validated. <strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> should remember your<br />

user login from Chapter 1, Introducing <strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Pro</strong>. If not, log in to <strong>ArcGIS</strong> Online<br />

when asked to.<br />

2. Once <strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> starts, click on Open another project.<br />

3. Click on Computer under the Open pane. Then, select Browse.<br />

4. Navigate to the C:\Student\IntroArc<strong>Pro</strong>\Chapter2 folder or the location you<br />

installed your exercise data.<br />

5. Select the Ex 2A.aprx file and click on Select.<br />

If you have successfully opened the project, <strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> should look as follows:

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
