Introduction to information resources and examples using ArcGIS Pro

ArcGIS Pro Extensions

ArcGIS Pro extensions seen on Penn State computers include: 3D Analyst, Aviation Airports, Aviation Charting, Bathymetry, Business Analyst, Data Interoperability, Data Reviewer, Defense Mapping, Geostatistical Analyst, Image Analyst, Locate XT, Location Referencing, Maritime, Network Analyst, Production Mapping, Publisher, Spatial Analyst, and Workflow Manager. 

The below information highlights some getting started resources for using ArcGIS Pro extensions commonly used within classes and projects.

Turning on ArcGIS Pro Extensions on Public Computers

From the screen seen for Licensing, click configure your licensing options. A licensing screen will pop-up. This screen took a bit to fully populate.

Checkmark desired license.

Spatial Analyst

Use with working with raster data for creating new surfaces, suitability analysis, overlay analysis, and least-cost path analysis. Provides analysis options for use with elevation models. 

Geostatistical Analyst

Prepare and predict spatial data for unsampled locations, plus analyze and review the interpolated spatial patterns with the extension’s validation methods. Create workflows to efficiently predict patterns in studies.  

3D Analyst

Create, visualize, and analyze three-dimensional data for a three-dimensional context. 3D Analyst includes tools to create and convert two and three-dimensional data, utilize TINs and lidar, conduct visibility and proximity analysis, and more.   

Network Analyst

Plan transportation of goods, organization of movement, and structure the paths of vehicles by making strategic routing decisions. Use reliable analysis to increase efficiency and allow operations to increase in scale.

Image Analyst

Use advanced image interpretation, exploitation, and geospatial analysis on an array of imagery modalities, and automate processes for efficient repeatable results. Edit image classification results then analyze them with machine learning.  

Locate XT

Extract and automate location information from unstructured data such as PDFs, word documents, and more for efficient analysis.   

Business Analyst

Optimize business planning with tools that implement localized data for confident plans and expenditure. Target the regions and markets to expand or reduce business activities. 

Data Reviewer

Tool focused on data quality to identify errors in an automated manner.

Workflow Manager

The Workflow Manager enables the user to automate GIS workflows.
