Shortcuts and Hotkeys

• Search Help:

– “Keyboard shortcuts”

• Brochure:

– http://www.esri.com/library/brochures/pdfs/arcgis-desktop-tips.pdf

Context Menus

• Common to all sketch/construction tools

– Snap To, Absolute XY, Delta XY, and Direction/Length

• Edit tool offers selection and attribute tools

– Copy, Paste, Identify, Attributes…

– Zoom To, Pan To and Clear Selection

Creating Features

• Constraints– Sketch tool context menu

• Add sketch segments – Parallel– Perpendicular

• At– Absolute XY– Delta XY

• With specific – Length– Direction– Direction and Length– Distance– Deflection angle– Tangent curve

Using the Trace Tool for New Features

• Adds sketch segments by tracing along selected features

Visualizing Snapping Environment While Editing

• Snapping indicator in status bar

• Snap tips

• Snapping distance (tolerance)

– View by pressing T shortcut key

Layer name Snap agent type

Snapping indicator

(present when snap

tips are enabled)

Overriding the Snapping Environment

• Snapping on-the-fly

– Snap To Feature command

– Right-click while sketching

• Press the Spacebar

– Temporarily suspends snapping

• Use the V shortcut key to view vertex locations

Streamlining with Models and Scripting

Geoprocessing is……One of the four critical components of GIS

Spatial Analysis

Visualization Dissemination

Data Management

Why Use ModelBuilder?…Supports automated tasks, modeling and analysis.

• Leverage the full value of data investment and workforce

• Document and manage workflows

• Save time and money
