You can also see the dBASE file that may be associated with a shapefile. All files that have the file extensions. However, on the Options dialog box, you can choose which of these file types should be represented as text files and which should not be shown in the Catalog tree.
When text files contain comma- and tab-delimited values, you can see their contents in the ArcCatalog table view and join them to geographic features. Text files can be deleted, but their contents are read-only in ArcCatalog. Unlike coverages, shapefile feature types are similar to the geometry types stored in a geodatabase, so conversion is more straightforward. For more information, see How data converts when importing. Each of the component files of a shapefile is limited to 2 GB each.
The total size for all the component files can exceed 2 GB. Arc GIS Desktop. In the second dialog box of the Buffer wizard, choose to create buffers as multiple rings concentric polygons instead of at a set distance.
Typically, five to seven rings work best. Make one more buffer than the number of graduations of color you want to see in the final product. Again, the distance units will depend on the scale of the map. In the third wizard dialog choose to create buffers only outside the polygon. Save the buffers to a new file and specify the file name location. Click on the Finish button.
The new buffer shapefile will appear in the view. Double-click on the buffer theme to bring up the Legend Editor. The next step removes the black outlines between the rings of the buffer theme. Still in the Legend Editor, double-click on each color in the Symbol column to bring up the symbol palettes. Choose the Fill Palette and select None from the drop-down box labeled Outline. Do not close the Legend Editor. Double-click the last classification and use the Color Palette to make that selection buffer ring the same color as the water feature.
Double-click on the first color for the first buffer classification and use the Color Palette to make it much lighter than the water feature. Hold down the Control button and select the first and last buffer classifications and click on the Ramp button the rightmost button in the lower portion of the Legend Editor to create a color ramp between the first and last colors.
Color ramping produces the illusion of gradually deepening water. Experiment with the color ramp to discover the most pleasing color combinations. Shoreline Isolines Create a multiple-ring buffer theme as described in the previous section, Color-Ramped Shoreline, by following Steps 1 through 3. In this case the polygon outlines should be on the default setting , and the fill should be changed to transparent. Invoke the Legend Editor and Fill Palette as described previously to make these changes.
Still in the Legend Editor, select the first classification and use the Color Palette to make it just a shade darker than the water feature. The shapefile must contain valid geometries. Invalid geometries cannot be published or drawn in Map Viewer Classic. The following features are not supported: multipatch or multipoint geometries, geometries that cross the dateline, and self-intersections in polygons.
Shapefiles with these features cannot be added to Map Viewer Classic. Feedback on this topic?
