Produktbeschreibung

Find your book resources here: esri.com/SwitchToPro Ready to make the switch? This is your go-to guide. The arrival of ArcGIS Pro has brought a challenge to ArcMap users. The new software is sufficiently different in architecture and layout that some workflows must be revisited or modified. Current ArcMap users are pressed for time, trying to learn the new software while still completing their daily tasks, and they need a book that helps them learn ArcGIS Pro quickly and efficiently. Switching to ArcGIS Pro from ArcMap transitions a user who is familiar with ArcMap into the mechanics of using ArcGIS Pro. Rather than teaching ArcGIS Pro from the start, this book focuses on how ArcGIS Pro is different from ArcMap. You'll learn: * What to consider before making the switch to ArcGIS Pro * Differences in appearance and function in the ribbon * Best practices for pane display and optimizing screen space * Built-in efficiencies in ArcGIS Pro versus ArcMap * Additional tools and tips on using the software Covering the most common and important workflows required for most GIS work, Switching to ArcGIS Pro from ArcMap leverages the user's prior experience to enable a more rapid adjustment to ArcGIS Pro. Maribeth H. Price, PhD, Professor of Geology and Dean of Graduate Education for the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, has been using Esri products since 1991, teaching college GIS since 1995 and writing textbooks using Esri software since 2001. She has extensive familiarity with both ArcMap/ArcCatalog and ArcGIS Pro, both as a user and in the classroom, as well as long experience writing about GIS concepts and developing software tutorials. She teaches GIS workshops, having offered more than 100 workshops to over 1,200 participants since 2000. In 2018, she taught seven one-day workshops on the theme of this book and has tested the draft book in three of them.
