Question 1

What is the primary purpose of metadata?

Accepted Answer

Metadata primarily serves to make an item searchable by providing a detailed description and relevant tags, which helps users understand the content and context of the data.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

C

Question 3

A GIS user creates a folder connection in ArcGIS Pro. Most of the user's work is typically done with the same collection of data. The user finishes that project and creates a new ArcGIS Pro project to begin working in a new geographic area. The folder connection has disappeared. What should the user do to persist that folder connection in multiple projects?

A

Question 4

An ArcMap user must determine the coordinate system of a dataset. Where is this information located?

Accepted Answer

The coordinate system of a dataset in ArcMap can be found in the Data Frame Properties under the Source tab.

Question 5

A GIS technician needs to export multiple maps of individual county parcels. Which action should the technician take to achieve this in ArcGIS Pro?

Accepted Answer

The technician should enable Map Series pages in ArcGIS Pro to export multiple maps of individual county parcels. This feature allows for the creation of a series of maps from a single layout, each focusing on a different feature or area, such as individual county parcels.

Question 6

A GIS user typically works with the same geodatabase, the same set of locators, and the same layers added to the map. What is the most efficient way to simplify new project creation?

Accepted Answer

Creating a Project Template with all data allows the user to open new projects from the template, ensuring consistency and efficiency in project setup.

Question 7

A city planner is working with a map that represents areas of the city that are being evaluated for new construction and moving or eliminating certain streets. The planner is using the Create Feature Class geoprocessing tool to create a feature class that represents all streets as they would exist after the improvement project is completed. Which Geometry Type should the planner select for the feature class to identify the overall changes in length to the road network?

Accepted Answer

Polylines are used to represent linear features such as roads, making them suitable for identifying changes in the road network's length.
