Migrating from ArcView GIS 3.x to ArcView 8 - 3 Day Course - Thursday / Friday / Saturday - Brad Tatham, ESRI Authorized Instructor
Contact Information:
GIS Services, Bill Timmins Description:
This new course introduces ArcView GIS 3.x users to the features and architecture of ArcView 8. Students learn how to use the new
Windows-based applications-ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox-and explore how these applications work together. Students gain a basic understanding
of ArcView 8 and the experience they need to enroll in many other ESRI courses including Introduction to ArcGIS II (for ArcView 8, ArcEditor 8,
and ArcInfo 8) . Participants learn how ArcView GIS 3.x terminology and features relate to the new terminology and features of ArcView 8. They also
learn how to create, edit, and georeference spatial data, as well as manipulate tabular data, query a GIS database, perform spatial analysis,
and present data clearly and efficiently using maps and graphs. Many of the topics covered in this course are similar to those in
Introduction to ArcGIS I (for ArcView 8, ArcEditor 8, and ArcInfo 8). Attendees who complete this course should not enroll in Introduction to
ArcGIS I (for ArcView 8, ArcEditor 8, and ArcInfo 8).
Audience:
Migrating from ArcView GIS 3.x to ArcView 8 is for ArcView GIS 3.x users who want to learn ArcView 8.
Goals:
Display feature and tabular data Georeference spatial data Query features using logical expressions Find features using spatial relationships Edit spatial and attribute data
Import features into a geodatabase Produce maps, reports, and graphs
Topics covered:
Prerequisites and recommendations:
Registrants should have taken Introduction to ArcView GIS (3.x) or have at least three to six months of recent experience using ArcView GIS 3.x.
Knowledge of ArcView GIS 3.x terms and functionality is assumed.
