Getting started with ArcGIS Pro UPDATED
Questions and CORRECT Answers
What is ArcGIS Pro? - CORRECT ANSWER - 1) ArcGIS Pro allows you to view, edit,
analyze and share your GIS data quickly and efficiently
2) It uses ribbon-based interface and streamlined workflows.
3) ArcGIS Pro is also designed to be web-connected, so you can access information stored online
as easily as data that you have stored locally and then share it online or locally with equal ease.
ArcGIS Pro: Template - CORRECT ANSWER - Starting without a template allows you to
do your work without having to create a project beforehand.
ArcGIS Pro: Project - CORRECT ANSWER - When you create a project, ArcGIS Pro will
generate a folder structure on disk, including a project file that stores project-related elements,
such as maps, layouts, styles, toolboxes, and geodatabases.
ArcGIS Pro: Catalog pane - CORRECT ANSWER - expand the various folders to see the
maps and scenes, toolboxes, databases, layouts, styles, and folder connections.
ArcGIS Pro: Ribbon - CORRECT ANSWER - Ribbon across the top of the application
and several tabs. Here, you can add data to the map, make selections, manage a layer's
appearance, or perform other tasks.
ArcGIS Pro is context-sensitive - what does this mean? - CORRECT ANSWER - Meaning
that when a data layer is selected in the Contents pane, different tabs become available on the
ribbon based on the specific characteristics of the selected layer.
In ArcGIS Pro, there are several options for viewing your data... - CORRECT ANSWER -
1) two different extents of the same map next to one another
2) view 2D and 3D representations of the data simultaneously
, What is native structure for ArcGIS Pro? - CORRECT ANSWER - Project:
A project consists of a main file with an APRX file name extension and an entire folder structure
designed to contain the project data. These folders contain maps, layouts, tasks, toolboxes, styles,
and connections to databases and folders.

An ArcGIS Pro project can contain multiple views of the geometry of the data.
True/False - CORRECT ANSWER - TRUE:
When you use multiple views of your map, the underlying data and symbology are the same but
the angle or zoom might be different. Therefore, different aspects of the map become more
apparent.
Your project can also contain several different maps.
True/False - CORRECT ANSWER - TRUE:
If multiple maps that use the same data are required to perform a specific task, you might want to
keep all the maps in the same project. This capability is useful if you want to symbolize layers
differently or turn certain layers on and off.
ArcGIS Pro enables you to view your data side by side in 2D and 3D—a powerful capability.
True/False - CORRECT ANSWER - TRUE:
2D map can be converted into a 3D scene. You can also construct a 3D scene from scratch using
the data associated with your project. Scenes in 3D can be shown in a local, isolated context or
on the surface of a globe.
ArcGIS Pro allows you to add new data or update features quickly and efficiently.
True/ False - CORRECT ANSWER - TRUE:
This means that as you work with your projects, you might need to update old information or add
new geometries to your data. This means your data is upto date and relevant
How to create a feature? - CORRECT ANSWER - 1) Choose create on Edit ribbon
