Editing keyboard shortcuts

editor toolbar

Keyboard shortcuts are associated with a number of the editing tools and commands. You can use keyboard shortcuts to make editing quicker and more efficient. Shortcuts common to all Editor tools can be used with any editing tool, while the shortcuts listed for a specific tool are only used with that tool.

MOBILE GIS

eGPSIncreasingly, GIS is moving from the office into the field by means of focused application solutions on mobile computing devices. Wireless mobile devices enabled with global positioning systems (GPS) are increasingly used for focused data collection, map use, and GIS access in the field. Firefighters, waste collectors, engineering crews,surveyors, utility workers, soldiers, census workers, police,
and field biologists represent a few types of field workers who use mobile GIS as a tool.

ArcGIS provides a comprehensive suite of mobile GIS products that are designed for different applications and
platform requirements. These include: ArcGIS Desktop and custom applications built using ArcGIS Engine. These are frequently deployed to
the field on high-end mobile laptops and Tablet PCs for users who need to work with geodatabases and detailed GIS maps.
ArcPad. ArcPad provides a rich environment for the GIS-centric field worker on Windows CE-compatible devices. ArcPad is widely used in more than 60,000 deployments.
ArcGIS Mobile. ArcGIS 9.2 Server includes a software development kit, called ArcGIS Mobile, that can be used to create and deploy focused mobile applications for Smartphones, Pocket PCs, and Tablet PCs. These applications support wireless synchronization with ArcGIS Server, GIS data replication, and editing.

THREE VIEWS OF A GIS

A GISMany have characterized GIS as one of the most powerful
of all information technologies because it focuses on
integrating knowledge from multiple sources and creates a
crosscutting environment for collaboration.
In addition, GIS is attractive to most people who
encounter it because it is both intuitive and cognitive. It
combines a powerful visualization environment with a
strong analytic and modeling framework that is rooted in
the science of geography.
This combination has resulted in a technology that is
science-based, trusted, and easily communicated across
cultures, social classes, languages, and disciplines.
To support this vision, a GIS needs to support several
views for working with geographic information:

1. The geodatabase view: A GIS is a spatial database
containing datasets that represent geographic
information in terms of a generic GIS data model—
features, rasters, attributes, topologies, networks, and
so forth.

2. The geovisualization view: A GIS is a set of
intelligent maps and other views that show features
and feature relationships on the earth’s surface. Various
map views of the underlying geographic information
can be constructed and used as “windows into the
geographic database” to support query, analysis, and
editing of geographic information. Each GIS has a
series of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional
(3D) map applications that provide rich tools for
working with geographic information through these

3. The geoprocessing view: A GIS is a set of
information transformation tools that derive new
information from existing datasets. These geoprocessing
functions take information from existing datasets,
apply analytic functions, and write results into new
derived datasets. Geoprocessing involves the ability to
program your work and to automate workflows by
assembling an ordered sequence of operations.
These three GIS views are represented in ESRI ® ArcGIS ®
by the catalog and the geodatabase (a GIS is a collection
of geographic datasets), the map (a GIS is an intelligent
map view), and the toolbox (a GIS is a set of
geoprocessing tools). Together, all three are critical parts
of a complete GIS and are used at varying levels in all GIS
applications.

ArcMap : File mxd yang terlalu besar

Beberapa hari ini saya dipusingkan dengan file mxd yang saya create.
File yang dihasilkan sangat besar!! Jika biasanya hanya beberapa ratus kilobyte saja,
maka kali ini file saya mencapai puluhan megabyte bahkan hampir seratus megabyte untuk satu file mxd saja!
Padahal saya “mengelola” puluhan file mxd. Bisa “tekor” tuch hardisk…

Usut punya usut, googling dan test by test, akhirnya saya temukan juga akar permasalahan tersebut.
Kecurigaan saya adalah pada extensions yang saya pilih untuk digunakan sebagai default setiap saya mengaktifkan ArcMap.
Setelah berulang kali percobaan dengan melakukan save as pada file mxd yang ada, dengan sebelumnya memilih extenions tertentu
yang diaktifkan, ternyata extensions Tracking Analyst-lah biang keladinya!

extensions

Akhirnya saya tetap mengaktifkan seluruh pilihan extensions yang tersedia, kecuali Tracking Analyst!
Anda punya pengalaman berbeda? Bagi donkz….

Tidak Lupa Mohon Maaf Lahir dan Batin.
