PART III: Process Summary Details
Record your notes about the exercise (important things you learned or might want to refer back to in the future) and details about any processes you ran that are not already outlined in the lab instructions.


• use arc python for multiple tool operations
• type import archly upon start up to initiate arc python, then type archly. and select tool
• always use parenthesis and quotes and separate things with comma. spaces don't matter
• update tool is similar to union tool, but update will dissolve boundary lines between two
layers.

PART III: Process Summary Details
Record your notes about the exercise (important things you learned or might want to refer back to in the future) and details about any processes you ran that are not already outlined in the lab instructions.

• Multiple selections can be made after initial selection, check "select from selection"
• selections can be removed from current selection
• Remember to check the "spacial selected method" when selecting by location.
• After a selection has been made via select by location, select by attribute can be used to further narrow criteria

Data Search

map 1
• Download files from FGDL.org : county boundary, rivers, roads, cities, parks, water, invasive plants, landcover, elevation
• Download quad file of citrus county from albinos.org
• Project county boundary to Albers Conical
• select citrus county and create independent shapefile of citrus county
• add cities, rivers, roads, parks, water, plants and landcover
• create independent shapefiles from cities, rivers, roads, parks, water, plants and landcover to show only citrus county •
• label features and select appropriate icons
• create map and add map elements
• export as map1_albers.jpeg in S drive

map 2
• use projected county boundary from previous map
• reproject DEM to Albers Conical
• add county boundary and DEM file
• use extract by mask for DEM file to extract citrus county
• add another data frame
• add quad file to new data frame
• under extent indicators add layers to show quad file in first data frame
• create map and add map elements
• export map as map2_albers.jpeg in S drive

NAD 1983 Stateplane

Download county, roadmap and quadrant files from fdgl.org
save under S drive/projectionspartII

Projections 1

Process Summary Description

• Add contend shapefile to acrmap
• project cntbnd into and 1983 utm zone 16n
• save as cntbnd_utm16
• add to data frame
• Repeat for projection state plane n using: NAD 1983 HARN StatePlane Florida North FIPS 0903 (US Feet
• create separate data frames for each projection: albers, utm, state plane n and move shapefiles to appropriate data frames
• add AREA fields to each files attribute table
• calculate geometry for AREA field and use square miles
• make Alachua, Escambia, Polk and Miami-Dade counties the same color
• ensure all other counties are uniform in color
• create tables to show area for each selected county in each projection
• add map elements
• save as campbell_projections in S drive
• export as jpeg: campbell_projections1
