For your project, you will be using ArcGIS Pro, the latest program from the ArcGIS Suite. If you do not have much experience in our lab, use this guide for Getting Started with ArcGIS in the GDC Lab (All Options). NOTE: this section is not currently in GIS/Data Center Guides! Also, the Getting Started is not adjusted for ArcGIS Pro.
Next, you will need to add a couple of mandatory files to your map to get started.
To assign your data frame to the StatePlane Texas S Central Projection, you will first add the Freeways file.
- In ArcGIS Pro, in the Catalog Pane, right click on the Folders and choose "Add folder connection." Navigate to O:\Cataloged\Local\HarrisHouston\CityOfHouston then choose COHGIS and add it as a new folder connection.
- In the catalog pane, expand the COHGIS folder and expand the Route database. Drag the file Freeways to your map window.
Then, you should add the Streets Basemap file so you can identify the area you wish to focus on.
- In ArcGIS Pro, go to the Map pane and click Basemap.
- Select Streets.
