The GIS GateWay

The first build process on a new network dataset creates network elements, establishes connectivity, and assigns values to the network attributes based on the properties you defined in the New Network Dataset wizard. Also, a point feature class containing all the system junctions is created in the workspace that contains the network dataset. Geodatabase network datasets can be built inside or outside of an edit session; however, shapefile network datasets must be built outside of an edit session. The following steps expains the procedures you follow in ARCMAP to build a network dataset: Start ArcMap. Click the Catalog window button on the Standard toolbar. The dockable Catalog window opens. Using the Catalog window, navigate to the location of the network dataset and drag it into the map display or the table of contents. If a connection to the folder that contains the network dataset doesn't already exist, you can create one by clicking the Connect To Folder but

Hello dear Geo-geeks, Its been a while long time since I post geo stuff here, today I would like to take you through on how An ARCGIS .shp file can be converted to .AI file for further Graphic designs. Exporting From ArcGIS to Illustrator Adobe Illustrator is a vector drawing program that accepts files of type .AI. This software can be very useful if you wish to use geometry from GIS as the basis for diagrams that you would create in illustrator, or if you want to use illustrator to fix some of the awkward legends or labels that ArcMap makes for you. TRICKY features of Adobe Illustrator includes; None of your layers can use transparency  If you are using special fonts or spot symbols, they must be converted to polygons in illustrator. There is a limit to the number of vertices that can be exported to illustrator.   Those are the important rules to remember in arcmap document. Setting up your ArcMap Document You may have designed a map in ArcMap with a nice grap
