There's a bunch of .tbl, .prj, .shx, .shp, .dbf, and .xls files (although I think .xls is an Excel file...) | | | | | Posted by NYMartian Ok, here it is. I wrote this in AIM to myself when doing it to make sure I got it correct. I am copying and pasting it from there to here. Please no comments on spelling or capitalization. First: Create a new project with a new view It will ask if you want to create a new theme now. Select yes Then select the shp file that you have from the data you downloaded This will now appear on the side bar. You need to select the check box for it to be visible I am assuming that you would like to be able to select a given location from the database and have it displayed for you by arcview to do this, go to the Theme->Table, and the table will be opened. It will appear in the tables menu of the main project as "Attributes of _______.shp The table is the .dbf file you have. It is automatically opened. You do not need to select it or anything. To get to it, go to Window->Untitled, and go to Tables. You can open it from here, though it will automatically be opened when you first create it. You will likely be able to just go to Window->Attributes of _______.shp you can search and select the desired location here. you can select multiple locations too make sure the desired shp file is selected on the side bar then go to View->Zoom to selected You should be able to take it from here. I hope this information was a help to you. ArcView and other GIS software really can be a godsend to UE. I use it frequently for planning UE. |
