Union

Computes a geometric

union of the input

features.

All features and their

attributes will be written to

the output feature class.

3 Sarfaraz Alam, sarfaraz_wre@yahoo.com

Erase

Creates a feature class by

overlaying the Input

Features with the polygons of

the Erase Features.

Only those portions of the

input features falling outside

the erase features outside

boundaries are copied to the

output feature class.

4 Sarfaraz Alam, sarfaraz_wre@yahoo.com

Dissolve

Aggregates features based on

specified attributes.

5 Sarfaraz Alam, sarfaraz_wre@yahoo.com

Intersection

Computes a geometric

intersection of the input

features.

Features or portions of

features which overlap in

all layers and/or feature

classes will be written to

the output feature class.

6 Sarfaraz Alam, sarfaraz_wre@yahoo.com

Split

Splitting the Input Features

creates a subset of multiple

output feature classes.

The Split Field's unique values

form the names of the output

feature classes. These are

saved in the target workspace

7 Sarfaraz Alam, sarfaraz_wre@yahoo.com

Clip

Extracts input features that overlay

the clip features.

Use this tool to cut out a piece of

one feature class using one or more

of the features in another feature

class as a cookie cutter.

Buffer

Creates buffer polygons around input

features to a specified distance

Near

Determines the distance from each

feature in the input features to the

nearest feature in the near features,

within the search radius.

Map Projection

• A map projection is a systematic transformation of the latitudes

and longitudes of locations on the surface of a sphere or

an ellipsoid into locations on a plane.

• Map projections are necessary for creating maps. All map

projections distort the surface in some fashion.

• Depending on the purpose of the map, some distortions are

acceptable and others are not; therefore different map projections

exist in order to preserve some properties of the sphere-like body

at the expense of other properties.

• There is no limit to the number of possible map projections.

Types of Map Projection

Map projections are classified in several ways

• Based on geometrical model of projection

• Based on orientation

• Based on pattern of deformation

Classification based on geometrical model of projection

•Azimuthal Projection

•Cylindrical Projection

•Conical Projection

Universal Transverse Mercator projection

Zones are each six degrees of longitude, numbered as

shown at the top, from W to E
