Hello Sir I try hard to add my shapefile in ArcGIS pro but unable to do so Also the shape file doesn't show any data Please help me regarding this and also tell what type of data should add in this
@@aaronbarding5671 glad it was helpful! If you work in Indy, come to the State's GIS Day at the State capitol! It's a free event and there are good presentations, vendors, and conversation. It's November 20th this year (2024).
Because that's not what this video is about. To do so, go back to your attribute table and right click on the column header. Click "calculate field". You can also enter values directly into a cell. Just don't forget to hit save on the edit tab of the ribbon.
I definitely get it, and change is hard. However, remember how out of sorts you were when you first learned ArcMap? I've helped dozens and dozens of people transition from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro, and it does take some time to relearn the user interface. However, almost everything under the hood is the same, but faster! It's worth making the move, and most folks I've helped do so actually think ArcGIS Pro is a huge improvement once they get used to it.
@@SteveAldrich I see what you're saying but I agree with the above poster. Look, change isn't hard for GIS users. I guarantee we're all using multiple specialized softwares in our daily workflows and we adapt to many changes and overhauls amongst all of our applications. But this version of Arc is, indeed, completely illogical.
Generally, no. I prefer geodatabases for a variety of reasons. But the process should work for any geographic data. The key is to connect to the FOLDER that contains the data, and not the data itself. This can get confusing with geodatabases because they "look" like folders to windows, but have a .gdb on the end.
Hello. Thank you for this video. I'm a student who's starting ArcGIS Pro, but the Coursera class I'm enrolled in is using ArcMap. Unfortunately, ESRI has taken down access for the student free trial, and as far as I can see, ArcMap is no longer a purchasable package. The class too, won't update the software. I'm (overdue, unfortunately) in the very first assignment, and between ArcGIS Pro and ArcMap, this step is very different. Thank you for posting.
That's a tough spot to be in, I'm sorry. ESRI stopped giving "new customers" access to ArcMap back in January, and the retirement process for that software has already started. ArcGIS Pro is the way forward for the future. I'm not affiliated with ESRI or Coursera, but I'd guess there are Coursera offerings based on ArcGIS Pro, since it's been available for 7 or 8 years now. Another, non-ESRI, option is to learn QGIS. It's a full-fledged GIS option, and there is a lot of good training content out there, much of it for free!
I'd guess that your table is open somewhere - if it's an excel sheet or csv, do you have it open somewhere? Are you using cloud backup software like OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, etc.? Synchronization can make ArcGIS Pro think the table is open elsewhere. Finally, it's possible your table is "read only" in Windows - check your file properties to make sure. My procedure to deal with this would be to close all software, exit out of my cloud sync/backup application, and then open ONLY ArcGIS Pro and try again.
So with Python 3 (if you're using ArcGIS Pro) all numbers default to floating point, so you might have to cast those numbers into float like so: float(1) or float(79). Just a thought.
There are two approaches: Attachments or Image Blobs. You'll have to go into ArcGIS Pro help and figure out which one will work best for your specific situation. In the Pompeii project I am involved with we use Attachments to embed images to specific locations. We store images in a separate folder and link to the photos using a workflow similar to this: pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/edit-file-attachments.htm The alternative is to use a third party viewer to show the images that are stored in BLOB data format in your attribute table. This is NOT a very easy or particularly effective desktop solution. Attachments are probably the way to go.
I am looking for couple hours to find a way to stop synchronizing the layout with the map. But of course, I didn't know that this is only available in Arcgis Pro, not in ArcGis for desktop :D So, they finally get it the right way! It is obvious for any GIS user that in the layout data display should not automatically change along with the view changes in the map view. Thanks for this video, I just realized now I've wasted couple hours for something that any GIS software has.
Hi Steve, I'm having this problem where the add button is greyed out for me. I looked online but nothing helped. Would you happen to know how to fix this? For the record: There are no unsaved edits, and the data is editable for me. I just can't add a new field for some reason.
Usually if the "Save" button is greyed out it means you don't have a change to save! However, there are TWO places where there is a save button, and it might be due to software version differences (ArcGIS Pro is evolving pretty rapidly). Look on both the "Edit" tab AND on the contextual tab that pops up when you have the layer selected in your table of contents, I think it is called "Table" or "Table Design". (Not at a computer at the moment so I can't check!)
@@SteveAldrich I didn't see the other save button you were talking about... And yes, I know I don't have changes to save, that's why I'm so confused that the add field button is not working.
@@Trethan3266 I sat down in front of the computer right now. It's actually NOT a contextual tab -- it's called "Field" and it's on the main toolbar: imgur.com/a/lA2nAuL That would be the place to save the edit. If that doesn't work, a few other things come to mind: 1) Maybe you haven't changed the table/fields? If that's the case there's nothing to save. 2) Maybe there's already a field with that name in your table? If so, ArcGIS Pro probably won't let you save your change. 3) Maybe you don't have write-access to the folder? This can happen in a variety of cases, with the two most common I see being either that the user is working with a project package (ppkg) or map package (mpkg) OR the user is working on files that are stored in some kind of cloud storage (Dropbox, OneDrive, GoogleDrive). If the package thing is what is happening, just save the project/map to a new location and things should work. For the other situation, move your stuff out of cloud storage before working on it (sucks). 4) Your file container (folder, file geodatabase) can't accept the type of field you're trying to add. This would be rare, but it could be. 5) You're starting your field names with invalid characters. They have to start with a letter! Outside of those things if it's not saving you might have to contact ESRI or do some deep google searching.
Well, if I understand your question, you want to know how to isolate a single polygon, yes? To do so, use the select tool (or you can select by attribute) to select your polygon you want to isolate from the greater dataset. Then, in your table of contents right-click your layer and click on "Data -> Export" Save your output as a new feature class. Use that feature class to make the highlight. Most tools in ArcGIS Pro will function only on selected items if there are any selected items in your view.
How did you do the slow zoom in with your mouse scroll button? When I use my mouse scroll it either does a big zoom in or a big zoom out with now slow zoom in between.
I have the same issue when zooming with a track pad, but if I use an external mouse the scroll wheel zooms more slowly. If you have a touch screen, that's usually better at slow zooming, too!
If you are working with a shapefile field names are limited to 10 characters. If you store data in a file geodatabase field names may be 64 characters long. You also might look into field name aliases for even longer field names.
Hey Steve! I have a question. How do you add image in attribute table? I tried looking up on other channel and they have this 'raster' selection in the type drop-down arrow and I don't have them. How do I solve it?
Siyaf Kahn has a good youtube video on this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0AWFvU6no_Q.html. Also check out this StackExchange discussion: gis.stackexchange.com/questions/120130/how-to-add-images-in-attribute-table
probably the most straightforward way to do what you ask is a screenshot. However, ArcMap 10.1 and newer can open Excel worksheets -- just use the add data button!
That is super handy. What is the best way to add in an excel chart that is using data not sourced from ARC? Inserting the object in a similar way inserts a box that shows only a portion of the chart and shows the excel grids behind the chart. Is there a simple way to fix that?
