In ArcGIS Pro, an AutoCAD or MicroStation file is read as an ArcGIS feature dataset of feature classes. This feature dataset contains a spatial reference and a collection of read-only ArcGIS feature classes. The read-only feature dataset and the included feature classes can be added to a map...
The new field types of bigint, date_only, time_only and timestamp_offset are now supported, and GlobalID in file geodatabase can now be preserved from read through to write, which is key to many workflows needing dataset synchronization. The date_only type is how dates should always have...

Catalog Dataset toolset The tools in the new Catalog Dataset toolset allow you to create, maintain, and update catalog datasets. New tools: Add Items To Catalog Dataset—Adds workspaces and layers, such as geodatabases, raster layers, feature layers, mosaic layers, and other items, to an exi...
Find the definition of GIS. Learn how this mapping and analysis technology is crucial for making sense of data. Learn from examples and find out why GIS is more important than ever.
A terrain dataset is a multiresolution, TIN-based surface built from measurements stored as features in a geodatabase. They're typically made from lidar, sonar, and photogrammetric sources. Terrains reside in the geodatabase, inside feature datasets with the features used to construct them. Terra...
A layer file (. lyr) is a file that stores the path to a source dataset and other layer properties, including symbology. In comparison to a shapefile, a layer file is a just a link or reference to actual data, such as a shapefile, feature class, etc. ...
data. Their purpose is to provide a common basis for communication about a particular place or area on the earth's surface. The most critical issue in dealing with map projections is knowing what the projection is and having the correct coordinate system information associated with a ...
Common coordinate system and map projection tasks in ArcGIS Within ArcGIS, every dataset has a coordinate system, which is used to integrate it with other geographic data layers within a common coordinate framework such as a map. Coordinate systems enable you to integrate d...
So, what data belongs within a GIS? The simple answer is that all data with a defined location should be stored and managed within a GIS system such as ArcGIS. This technically correct non-specific answer may not quench your desire for a fuller understanding of why a...
