Map Design & Text

1) The information used from dynamic labels comes from the layer attribute table.

2) Create a layer of selected features and label the new layer.

3) It is impossible to adjust the position of dynamic labels.  To do so, dynamic labels must become annotations.

4) To adjust graphics, select the Select Elements Tool.

5) The two types of annotations are database annotations and map annotations.

1) It is possible to create ArcMap templates.

2) It is possible to save a template (.mxt) map as an .mxd file.

3) To access a map template, either start ArcMap with a template, or open a template while already in ArcMap.

4) Add and display the data, and then open the symbology tab of the layer properties to set the default display options.

5) It is possible to change the color of a graphic circle by changing the properties in the symbol selector, or by changing the properties under the symbology tab of the layer properties.

1) Always adjust the paper and page orientation and size before setting up a map layout.

2) The data view has a different scale from the layout view, because the data view displays only the active data frame, while the layout view displays all data frames on a page as if ready for printing.

3) The three customization options for scale bars are the division value, number of divisions, and number of subdivisions. 

4) It is important to use the 1:1 (Zoom to 100%) button because it displays the map in its actual size in layout view.

5) A graphic added to data view stays fixed in its original data frame, while a graphic added to layout view is on top of and independent of all the data frames, and does not display in data view.

1) A choropleth map is a type of map where shaded polygons display classified numerical data.

2) Layer (.lyr) files reference a data source that resides in another location, are easy to symbolize and label, and can exist outside of a map. 

3) A layer package (.lpk) file is a layer file along with a copy of its referenced data, as well as an XML file briefly describing the layer.  Layer packages make it easy to display and share the layer and its data when working in another map, without the extra step of importing the required shapefiles. 

4) The population of the City of Long Beach for the year 2000 is 461,522.

5) The population of the City of Los Angeles for the year 2000 is 3,694,820.

6) A document hyperlink is a link to a document.  A uniform resource locator (URL) hyperlink is a link to a web page.  A macro hyperlink is a link to a macro.
