Chapter 13: Projecting Data in ArcMap
CHAPTER 13: PROJECTING DATA IN ARCMAP 1. What is projection? Pp. 345 2. Explain GCS and PCS and relate these to the issue of map distortions. Pp. 344-347 3. How can you find out the GCS and PCS of a map? Of a layer? P. 348 4. What is "on the fly" projection? Pp. 348-349 5. What is the .prj alternative to "on the fly" projection? Pp. 361-367 6. What is the dragging method of adding a new layer to ArcMap? P. 354-355. 7. How do you change the coordinate system of a data frame in ArcMap? Pp. 356-357 8. How do you copy a layer from one geodatabase to another in the ArcMap toc? (The text had 3 frames - Alaska, Hawaii, Lower 48 - each was a geodatabase) pp. 358-359. 9. What is a .prj file? What does it do? P. 362 10. What if you are missing the .prj projection data file for a dataset? P. 364-367 11. Is copying/pasting the same as on-the-fly projection once you have defined a projection in a .prj file? Pp. 368-369
