Chapter 7
In chapter seven I started with editing, creating, and deleting polygon features. This was very straightforward and easy to understand. Moving and rotating the polygons to the correct location was actually quite enjoyable. I then used cartography tools to smooth out polygon features and make them look much nicer. I also transformed features with a CAD drawing. I also found this section to be somewhat fun. I am proud to announce that I somehow did not have any problems in this section which has been a first for me so that’s exciting.
Chapter 8
In this chapter I learned a lot about the geocoding process which matches location fields in tabular data. In the first tutorial I geocoded data using zip codes. I built a zip code locator, geocoded data by zip code, rematched data by zip code, and then symbolized using using the collect events tool. This process was pretty quick and simple and I got it done with no issues. In the second tutorial I geocoded street addresses. I messed up the locator tool at first by forgetting a few setting to apply but the second time around I did it correctly. Other than that mistake this also went by pretty quickly.
Chapter 9
In chapter 9 I started off by learning to use buffers which I really enjoyed. I just like the way they look on the map… I then created multiple-ring service areas for calibrating a gravity model and polygons for them. This was really interesting to see travel time to pools and the colors relating to “quality” like poor or excellent. When it came to using the spatial join tool in this chapter I was struggling at first because I couldn’t find the output fields and merge rule but I think I figured it out by just clicking the specific output field and then finding a sum button. I’m not sure if that was correct but I did it anyway. I also optimally located facilities using ArcGIS Network Analyst and performed cluster analysis to explore multidimensional data. This chapter took a bit longer because of some small random problems but I got it all figured out.
