Which ready-to-use-service can be utilized in ArcGIS Desktop for network analysis?
A) Elevation
B) Logistics
C) Hydro
D) Geocoding

Accepted Answer

Logistics is a ready-to-use service in ArcGIS Desktop specifically designed for network analysis, such as route optimization and vehicle routing problems.

Question 11

How should an ArcGIS Pro analyst configure a feature layer and stand-alone table in the Contents pane to support publishing a feature service that keeps an association between them?
A) Create a relationship class between the features and the table
B) Create an in-memory relate in the Contents pane
C) Copy the data to a file geodatabase, compress to zipfile, and publish as an item
D) Create a temporary join in the Contents pane

Accepted Answer

Creating a relationship class between the features and the table establishes a permanent association that can be maintained when publishing a feature service.

Question 12

An ArcGIS user has returned from performing field data collection with a high accuracy GPS device. Upon importing the GPX files into ArcGIS as shapefiles, the user notices that some of the collected points are now coincident. The user knows that the points should display separately because they are two distinct features. Which environment settings should be changed to make sure that the points are imported in millimeter precision?
A) Output X,Y Domain
B) X,Y Tolerance
C) X,Y Resolution
D) Coincident Points

Accepted Answer

The answer of An ArcGIS user has returned from performing...

Question 13

What should be used to make sure that an .mxd file can be opened in a previous version of ArcGIS?
A) Save As command
B) Create Map Package
C) Export Map
D) Save a Copy command

Accepted Answer

The Save As command allows you to save a copy of the .mxd file in a previous version of ArcGIS.
