Question 1

After being provided with 2 TB of aerial imagery from a vendor, an analyst must use the imagery to build a single dataset to be consumed within ArcGIS Desktop. However, the analyst must NOT duplicate any of the imagery due to storage constraints. Which storage type is most appropriate?

Accepted Answer

A Mosaic Dataset allows the analyst to manage and serve large collections of raster data without duplicating the imagery, as it references the original data rather than copying it.

Question 2

Which workflow in ArcGIS Pro will most efficiently load all feature classes, subtypes, and domains from a previously exported personal geodatabase to a file geodatabase?

Accepted Answer

B

Question 3

An ArcMap user is creating a new feature class that will participate in a geometric network. What should the user do so that the feature class is able to participate in a geometric network?

Accepted Answer

A feature class must reside within a feature dataset to participate in a geometric network, as geometric networks are created within feature datasets in ArcMap.

Question 4

An ArcGIS Online user needs to combine areas that overlap or share a common edge into a single area. What ArcGIS Online analysis tool should be used?

Accepted Answer

Dissolve Boundaries is the ArcGIS Online analysis tool that should be used to combine areas that overlap or share a common edge into a single area.

Question 5

An editor has built map topology and needs to modify the shape of neighboring polygons. Which tool would maintain the shared polygon boundaries?

Accepted Answer

Reshape Feature Tool maintains the shared polygon boundaries by allowing the user to modify the shape of a polygon while preserving its adjacency with neighboring polygons.

Question 6

A GIS technician has a polygon layer of land use types and a separate table that contains the definition of each land use type. Several polygons have the same land use type. How should the technician apply the land use type descriptions in the table to the polygon layer?

Accepted Answer

The answer of A GIS technician has a polygon layer...

Question 7

An ArcGIS user is creating a new water distribution network. In the water pipe feature class, fire hydrant laterals must have a pressure between 40 and 100 psi. Service water pipes must have a pressure between 50 and 75 psi. What must the user create to keep both pipe types in one feature class?

Accepted Answer

Subtypes allow the user to define different categories within a feature class, such as fire hydrant laterals and service water pipes, each with its own set of rules and attributes, including pressure ranges.

Question 8

An ArcGIS Desktop user must find out which data type (geodatabase feature class, shapefile, map, or feature service) is referenced by a layer. How should the user achieve this task?

Accepted Answer

The Source tab in the layer properties provides detailed information about the data source, including the data type, allowing the user to determine if it is a geodatabase feature class, shapefile, map, or feature service.

Question 9

In ArcMap, how can a user project a layer without using a geoprocessing tool?

Accepted Answer

The answer of In ArcMap, how can a user project...

Question 10

Which ready-to-use-service can be utilized in ArcGIS Desktop for network analysis?

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?

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?

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?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 14

How should an analyst use the field calculator to concatenate fields "City_Name" and "Region" with a comma and a space between the values?

Accepted Answer

The correct syntax for concatenating fields with a comma and a space is to use !City_Name! + ", " + !Region!.

Question 15

An ArcGIS Online user is beginning to work on a project that will involve multiple organizations. Each organization has its own ArcGIS Online subscription. The project requires that only the project team have access to the data, and any team member should be able to contribute to the project. Which sharing option should the user select?

Accepted Answer

The answer of An ArcGIS Online user is beginning to...

Question 16

In a scene in ArcGIS Pro, a user finds that a streets layer draws elevated at a distance above the ground, instead of draped over the ground surface. How should the user fix the problem and place the streets layer on the ground?

Accepted Answer

The user should adjust the elevation settings of the streets layer in the Layer Properties > Elevation tab to ensure it is draped over the ground surface.

Question 17

How should an ArcGIS Pro user access web tools for analysis?

Accepted Answer

The answer of How should an ArcGIS Pro user access...

Question 18

A GIS department using ArcMap has created a standard set of raster functions to apply to all aerial imagery. The standard set of functions can be applied to stand-alone raster datasets or to mosaic datasets. Which workflow should be used to apply the standard set of raster functions used by the department?

Accepted Answer

The answer of A GIS department using ArcMap has created...

Question 19

A GIS analyst creates a model that includes a Python script to process non-spatial data for use in several of the model steps. The model needs to be shared with online users who must be able to modify, add additional data, and execute the model locally on their own desktops. How should the GIS analyst share the script and model?

Accepted Answer

A Geoprocessing package allows sharing of models and scripts with all necessary data and tools, enabling users to modify and execute them locally.

Question 20

An ArcGIS user is preparing data for an aeronautical chart where the bearings and shapes of the features, such as coastline, need to be maintained for visual orientation. What projection should be used?

Accepted Answer

The Azimuthal Equidistant projection maintains accurate distances and directions from the center point, making it suitable for aeronautical charts where bearings and shapes need to be preserved.
