ESCI 545 - Hydrocarbon Systems Analysis

Getting Started

Creating a New Project in ArcGIS Pro

1. From the Start menu, launch ArcGIS Pro.
2. When ArcGIS Pro opens, under the Create a new project section, click the Blank project template.
3. In the 'Create a New Project' window, for Name, type "PlayMapping".
4. For Location, click the Browse... button to the right.
5. In the 'Select a folder to store the project.' window, click Computer in the left column and click Desktop in the right column and click OK.
6. In the 'Create a New Project' Window, click OK.
7. Maximize the ArcGIS Pro application window.

Creating a New Map 

A map is a project item used to display and work with geographic data in two dimensions. The first step to visualizing any data is creating a new map. The ribbon runs horizontally across the top of the ArcGIS Pro interface. Tools (buttons) are organized into tabs along the ribbon.

1. On the ribbon, click the Insert tab.
2. In the Project group, click the New Map button.
   
   
   
   You will notice that a new map view opens in the main section of ArcGIS Pro. The panel on the left side of ArcGIS Pro is called the Contents pane. After creating a new map, the Contents pane now displays the default Map title and automatically adds the Topographic basemap layer to the map. The panel on the right side of ArcGIS Pro is called the Catalog pane. After creating the first map, a new Maps section has been added to the top of the Project tab within the Catalog pane.
   
   
3. In the Catalog pane, click the arrow to expand the Maps section.
   
   
   
   Notice that there is a single map there, named Map. Since most projects will have multiple maps, it is a good idea to name your maps with more descriptive titles.
   
   
4. In the Catalog pane, under the Maps section, right-click Map and select Rename.
5. Type "GISWorkshop" and hit Enter.

Saving a Project

Any time you create a new project item (such as a map or a layout), spend time adjusting the symbology of your map layers, or are preparing to run a tool, it is a good idea to save your project.

1. Above the ribbon, on the Quick Access toolbar, click the Save button.
   
   

Data Management

For more practice with Data Management, check out our short course: Introduction to GIS Data Management

Download Workshop Data  

1. Click Workshop_Data.zip above to download the tutorial data. Make a note where this file is saved on your personal computer. 
2. Open your Downloads folder.
3. Right-click Workshop_Data.zip and select Extract All....
4. In the Extract Compressed (Zipped) Folders window, accept the default location into the Downloads folder.
5. Click Extract.

Browsing Existing Data

1. In the Catalog pane, click the arrow to expand the Databases section.
2. Click the arrow to expand the PlayMapping.gdb geodatabase. You will notice there is no data in the project geodatabase. Over the next few sections, we will transfer and generate data to this project geodatabase.
3. In the Catalog pane, click the arrow to expand the Folders section. Again, notice there is no data in the folder. 

Connecting to a Folder

1. In the Catalog pane, right-click Folders and select Add Folder Connection.
2. Navigate to your personal downloads folder and click on Downloads. 
3. Click OK.
4. In the Catalog pane, expand Downloads and then expand the Workshop_Data folder.
5. Your Workshop_Data folder should look like the below image.
   
   

Importing Data to Project Geodatabase and Project Folder

1. In the Catalog pane, click-and-hold the geologic_features_poly geodatabase feature class from the SpatialJoinData.gdb and drag-and-drop it up into the PlayMapping.gdb. A progress bar will appear that reads 'Copying...' Once it is complete, you will see a copy of geologic_features_poly inside the PlayMapping.gdb.
2. In the Catalog pane, click-and-hold the HST.jpg from the Workshop_Data folder and drag-and-drop it up into the PlayMapping project folder. 
3. In the Catalog pane, click-and-hold the IGOR_masterlist excel file from the Workshop_Data folder and drag-and-drop it up into the PlayMapping project folder.
4. In the Catalog pane, in the Folders section, right-click on Downloads and select Remove.
5. Your PlayMapping project folder should look like the below image.
   
   

Adding Data to a Map

For more practice with Coordinate Systems, check out our short course: Introduction to Coordinate Systems and Projections

1. The map takes on the projection of the first data layer added. If a JPG is added first, then the map projection would be undefined (as the projection for a JPG is undefined). To define the map's coordinate system, in the Contents pane on the left, right-click the PlayMapping map and navigate to Properties > Coordinate System > Geographic Coordinate Systems > North America > US and Territories > NAD 1927. 
2. In the Catalog pane, right-click the HST.jpg raster and select Add To Current Map.
3. An alternative method of adding data to a map is to click-and-hold the item and drag-and-drop it into the Map View.

Georeferencing
