ArcGIS Extensions Expanding the Use of ArcGIS

Extensions to ArcGIS 9 Allow you to perform extended tasks not included in core ArcGIS Desktop Extensions mentioned today can be utilized using either ArcView, ArcEditor and ArcInfo licenses ArcPublisher – for sharing map data with non-ArcGIS users Network Analyst – for working with networking systems Maplex – advanced labeling tool

Introducing Maplex Standard Label Engine Maplex Label Engine Maplex – extension that helps with label customization for higher quality maps and reduced manual label editing time

Introducing ArcPublisher Ever wish that you had the capability to send ArcMap data to a non ArcGIS user? ArcPublisher Converts ArcMap documents into published map files (.pmf) that can be shared with non-GIS users

Introducing ArcReader Software that reads Published map files (.pmfs) FREE download on ESRI’s website CD available for purchase Simple GIS tasks can be done in ArcReader, like zooming in and out, identifying attributes, turning layers on and off, printing maps and locating places and addresses

Using ArcPublisher and ArcReader Sharing Information - Allows you to share with others what you see in ArcMap Exploring Data - Maps in ArcReader are interactive; you can zoom in/out, view data attributes and turn layers on/off, locate places and addresses Printing Maps - Maps can be printed out in different extents set by the ArcReader user

Using ArcPublisher and ArcReader in 9.3 Updated toolbar! ArcMap New Graphic tools! ArcReader “Export to ArcMap” tool now! Draw graphics in ArcReader, send back to ArcMap user who can view graphics drawn by ArcReader user!

Publishing a Map Publish any ArcMap document All map elements and symbology are saved along with the reference data Maps based on file, server or Internet data can be saved Can deliver the data with the published map file (.pmf)

Introducing the ArcPublisher Extension Toolbar Check on Publisher Toolbar Note: Be sure the extension is turned on in Tools – Extensions before bringing in the Publisher toolbar

Publishing a Map Similar to Adobe .pdfs Click on Publish Map tool, name the file and save

Publishing a Map – Accessing Data ArcReader accesses data just as ArcMap does All data is stored in the Published Map - Must make sure data is accessible to ArcReader user - If ArcReader user cannot access data directly (server or Internet) data can be packaged

Publishing A Map – Accessing Data The data in the published map can be stored and accessed in a single directory Data can either be manually transferred into an accessible single directory OR The Data Packaging process can be used

Using ArcPublisher – Data Packaging Data Packaging Tool - Stores data in created folder - Can set format that data will be in (shapefile, geodatabase) and clip data, if desired

Using ArcPublisher – Data Packaging Browse for folder Choose Format For Vector Data Extent Options Clip Data

Using ArcPublisher – Settings Allows “controls” to be set in the Published map Access Settings tool and wizard through Publisher toolbar Settings Tabs - Contents - Functionality - Security - Application - ArcReader - Other

Using ArcPublisher – Settings Contents Choose Layers to include - All Layers - Only Layers checked on Choose Views to include Data View Layout View Both

Using ArcPublisher – Settings Functionality Choose Functions that the ArcReader user will be able to use Option to Display Disabled Functionality Message when map is opened

Using ArcPublisher – Settings Security Set Password Protection Allow Data Packaging

Using ArcPublisher – Settings Application User can open in ArcReader Only OR User can use customized ArcReader or other software, like ArcMap

Using ArcPublisher – Settings Other Enable Time Out Comments

Using ArcPublisher – Settings ArcReader Choose custom ArcReader settings

Publishing a Map - Steps Prepare data in ArcMap for publishing Customize settings using the Settings tool Publish the map using the Publish Map tool Package the Data (if necessary), including creating a new folder to hold the packaged data

Using ArcPublisher - Exercise Let’s publish a map and open it in ArcReader!

Introducing Network Analyst Network Analyst allows you to create and manage network data sets and generate routing systems Use for network-based spatial analysis - location analysis - spatial interaction modeling

Using Network Analyst – Analyses Types Finding the best route - the shortest or most scenic route from set location to set location Finding the closest facility Finding a service area - finding the service areas around facilities based on a cost attribute (length/distance, time) Creating an OD (Origin-Destination) Cost Matrix - used for routing of multiple originations to one destination and manages individual impedances for each origination

How can Network Analyst help me in my work? Using Network Analyst How can Network Analyst help me in my work? Create walk/drive distance maps to show distances and/or routes to and from facilities - cost attributes can be shown as length, like in miles, or time, like in minutes - use Service Area creation for this Create multiple street routing scenarios for more sophisticated analysis of potential new facility locations or attendance boundary adjustments - could use Routing, Closest Facility or OD Cost Matrix for this depending on variables used and outcome desired

Creating Network Analyst Datasets Before beginning to work with Network Analyst to create network routing and areas, you have to create a network dataset to work with:

Creating Network Analyst Datasets In ArcCatalog, right click on the dataset that contains the data to be used in the Network dataset Go to “New”, then click on “Network Dataset” New Network Analyst Wizard

Creating Network Analyst Datasets Name the Network Dataset Connectivity settings Choose the participating data

Creating Network Analyst Datasets Elevation Data Settings Modeling Turns

Creating Network Analyst Datasets Can Use Shape Length as a Cost Attribute Choose Cost Attributes

Creating Network Analyst Datasets Set Driving Directions, if desired Summary Click on “Finish” and then when prompted to “Build” the network dataset, select “Yes”

Introducing the Network Analyst Extension toolbar Check on Network Analyst Toolbar Note: Be sure the extension is turned on in Tools – Extensions before bringing in the Network Analyst toolbar

Navigating the Network Analyst toolbar Show/Hide Network Analyst Window Solve Button Active Network Dataset Network Identify Tool Select/ Move Network Location Tool Build Button Create Network Location Tool Choose Network type

Network Analyst in ArcMap Layers Network Analyst Window

Understanding Service Areas What’s a Service Area in Network Analyst? - the area around a facility, based on a network, that the facility can service depending on the cost attribute In this map: Each blue area displays the area within 1 mile of each school, based on the street network around the school In this map in Network Analyst terms : The cost attribute is miles, schools are the facilities and the service area is the 1- mile area shown as a polygon on the street network in the area around the school Service Area Polygon Facility Point

Using Network Analyst Let’s use Network Analyst to create a service area that displays a walk/drive distance of 1 mile around school locations
