GIS Introduction: ArcGIS Version
Question 5.9 What is the (planar) distance from Boardman to Warren, and
then from Warren to Niles?
Question 5.10 What is the (planar) distance from Austintown, Ohio,
to New Castle, Pennsylvania, and then from New Castle to Hermitage,
Pennsylvania?
5.10 Saving Your Work (and Working on It Later)
When using ArcMap, you can save your work at any time and return to it.
When work is saved in ArcMap, a map document file is written to disk. Later,
you can re-open this file to pick up your work where you left off.
1. Saving to an ArcMap document file is done by clicking on the Save icon
on the toolbar (the floppy disk icon) or by choosing Save from the File
pull-down menu.
2. Files can be re-opened by choosing the Open icon on the toolbar (the
folder icon) or by choosing Open from the File pull-down menu.
3. Exit ArcMap by selecting Exit from the File pull-down menu. There’s no
need to save any data in this lab.
Closing Time
This lab was pretty basic but served to introduce you to how ArcGIS operates
and how GIS data can be manipulated and examined. You’ll be using either
AEJEE or ArcGIS 10 in the next three chapter labs, so the goal of this lab was
to get the fundamentals of the software down. The lab in Chapter 6 takes this
GIS data and starts to do spatial analysis with it, while the lab in Chapter 7
will have you start making print-quality maps from the data. Chapter 8’s lab
will involve some further GIS analysis involving road networks.
