Annotations stored outside the map document as a geodatabase feature class similar to
geographic features - ANSWER-Geodatabase Annotations
T/F Annotations will change scale along with the features when the map scale changes. -
ANSWER-True
T/F Annotation placement is not always fixed relative to the features on the map - ANSWER-
False
T/F Map document annotation is stored as a property of a data frame and can only be used
within the current map document - ANSWER-True
The two types of geodatabase annotation feature classes - ANSWER-Standard Annotations
Feature Linked Annotations
T/F Converting labels to feature-linked annotation requires a Standard or an Advanced
license. - ANSWER-True
T/F When you convert labels for a layer that references a geodatabase feature class, the new
annotation feature class is not automatically stored within the same geodatabase - ANSWER-

,Which tools are used to modify a) map document annotation and b) geodatabase annotation?
- ANSWER-a) The tools on the Draw toolbar are used to modify map document annotation
b) The tools on the Editor toolbar are used to modify geodatabase annotation
T/F You can create annotation either in an ArcMap document or in a geodatabase -
ANSWER-True
T/F The annotation properties are stored as values in an attribute table. - ANSWER-True
Would you use standard or feature linked annotations for the following situation:
you need map text to be automatically added and deleted when geographic features are added
and deleted - ANSWER-Feature Linked
T/F An annotation feature class contains one or more annotation classes - ANSWER-True
T/F All annotation types do not scale with the map and don't require a reference scale. -
ANSWER-False
Provides a setting on feature classes and tables that allows you to automatically record
information about any inserts and updates that are made - ANSWER-Editor Tracking
When editor tracking is enabled on a feature class or table, what information is tracked
automatically - ANSWER--who created it

ANSWER-True

,T/F Map files (.mapx) saved using ArcGIS Pro 2.0 can be imported by previous versions of
ArcGIS Pro - ANSWER-False
Best for viewing and analyzing data at a local scale or for data that has a fixed extent in
which you work
Best for small geographic extents, in which the curvature of the earth is unnecessary for
analysis - ANSWER-Local Scene View
Suitable for large geographic extents, such as global or regional datasets in which the
curvature of the earth is important for analysis, you can choose to visualize your data at either
a small or large extent - ANSWER-Global Scene View
T/F Both 2D data and 3D data can be used in maps and scenes. - ANSWER-True
Which three examples are appropriate reasons to use 3D visualizations?
Choose three.
To visualize information beneath the ground
To create a realistic visual of a downtown area
To create paper maps for a rescue operation
For a bird's-eye view of parcel information
For visualizing airplane paths on a global scale - ANSWER-To visualize information beneath
the ground
To create a realistic visual of a downtown area
For visualizing airplane paths on a global scale
A cartographer has obtained a 2D map containing both a 2D dataset and a 3D dataset and
wants to convert the map to a 3D scene. Which three additional behaviors can the
cartographer expect when mapping the data in a 3D scene in ArcGIS Pro?
Choose three.
Layers can be categorized in three separate layer sections.
Both datasets are symbolized with 3D symbology by default.
Only the 3D dataset will be converted to the 3D scene.

, Both datasets can be symbolized using 3D symbology.
Both datasets can be explored with planar navigation. - ANSWER-Layers can be categorized
in three separate layer sections.
Both datasets can be symbolized using 3D symbology.
Both datasets can be explored with planar navigation.
In which case is it more appropriate to use a 3D global scene instead of a local scene to
visualize data? - ANSWER-To visualize global phenomena, such as airplane paths
Three types of elevation surfaces in a 3D scene - ANSWER-On the ground
Relative to the ground
Absolute height
Vertically adjusts the height value (or z-value) of the entire layer, raising or lowering all
features in the layer by a given height - ANSWER-Cartographic Offset
A property used to emphasize subtle changes in a surface, which is especially true when the
horizontal extent of the surface is greater than the amount of vertical change present. -
ANSWER-Vertical Exaggeration
Two main uses for vertical exaggeration - ANSWER-Amplify small changes in elevation on a
surface that is relatively flat
Bring z-values into proportion with x,y coordinates when the units measure different things
When mapping parcel boundaries in a 3D scene, which elevation type would be most
appropriate? - ANSWER-On the ground
Which is a reason to use vertical exaggeration? - ANSWER-To amplify changes in elevation
on a surface that is relatively flat
An analyst would like to view tree survey points in a 3D visualization. The survey points are
being obscured by the basemap. Which action should the analyst take to better visualize the
points? - ANSWER-Adjust the cartographic offset by 10 meters.
