12. Exercise 2 You work for the City Maintenance Department, which plans to add some utilities and upgrade others in a recently renovated part of town. You've been asked to create a map showing the existing utilities to use for planning the additions and upgrades. There is currently no single map that shows all the utilities. Your task is to locate the necessary data sources and add them to a view as themes so you can display them together.

13. Table of Contents Add Theme

14. There are 4 themes containing features in this folder: bldgs, lights, sewers, and waterln

15. The Waterln theme has been added to the view, but hasn’t been turned on yet

16. Placing a check in the box to the left of the theme legend turns it on.

17. There is only one theme containing image data in this folder. The view with all four feature themes turned on

18. Turning on the image theme after you add it to the top obscures all the other themes.

19. Dragging the image theme to the bottom allows the other themes to be drawn on top of it, overlaying the features on the photograph.

20. Exercise 3 The City Maintenance Department has decided to dig trenches for sewer lines on some of the properties. Your task is to retrieve the address information for these properties so notification letters can be sent to their owners. The Bldgs theme attribute table contains the address information you need. You'll make this theme active, then open its attribute table.

21. Open Theme Table Make sure Bldgs is the active theme

25. Exercise 4 You work for an ad agency. A prospective client wants to market a new product in an 18-county area. Your boss wants to show that running a more expensive campaign in the counties with the largest population will get better results than running a cheaper campaign in all the counties. As part of the agency’s presentation, your boss asks you to prepare a map of the 18-county area showing the population distribution.

26. Double- click to open Legend Editor Theme name Tells you what that symbol is Tells you a single symbol is being used to represent all counties

27. Tells you a symbol is being used to represent a certain type of county Lets you select the attribute you want to use to classify the counties

28. Each county in this case has its own unique symbol, because none had exactly the same population in 1993. You can double-check this by noting that each symbol has a count of 1.

29. Counties are classified into 1 of 5 groups based on their population in 1993. The darker the shade of green, the more people living there.

30. The more dots in a county, the more people living there.

31. Each county now has a bar chart associated with it, showing the relative percentages of people in 3 age classes.

32. Exercise 5 Now you'll learn how to change the symbols that represent features. The Legend Editor and Symbol Window allow you to change the color, size, pattern, and other properties of map symbols.

33. Cities are points Roads are lines Counties are polygons Double-click to open Legend Editor for Cities

34. Pick a marker

35. Notice that the Cities symbol now has an outline around it (or whatever design you selected), but the color has not changed.

36. In the Pen Palette, pick a double line to represent Interstates Double-click the symbol to open the Pen Palette

37. Now it’s easier to differentiate Interstates from Highways.

38. Double-click on the first symbol, then hold shift and click on the other two. Pick a pattern in the Fill Palette

39. Switch to Fill Palette Select Outline Pick a color to outline the County polygons
