ToolBox 3 Flashcards
Projects spatial data from one coordinate system to another.
Project
Overwrites the coordinate system information (map projection and datum) stored with a dataset. This tool is intended for datasets that have an unknown or incorrect coordinate system defined.
Define Projection
Merges multiple existing raster datasets into an existing raster dataset.
Mosaic
Creates a single raster dataset from multiple bands
Composite Bands
Merges multiple raster datasets into a new raster dataset.
Mosaic to New Raster
Retrieves information from the metadata and descriptive statistics about a raster dataset.
Get Raster Properties
Create a raster dataset of random values with a distribution you can define.
Create Random Raster
Change the spatial resolution of your raster dataset and set rules for aggregating or interpolating values across the new pixel sizes.
Resample
Creates a table view from an input table or feature class. The table view that is created by the tool is temporary and will not persist after the session ends unless the document is saved.
Make Table View
Adds, updates, or removes a selection on a layer or table view based on an attribute query.
Select Layer by Attribute
Selects features in a layer based on a spatial relationship to features in another layer.
Select Layer by Location
Creates a new point feature layer based on x- and y-coordinates defined in a table. If the source table contains z-coordinates (elevation values), that field can also be specified in the creation of the event layer. The layer created by this tool is temporary.
Make XY Event Layer
Creates an empty feature class in an enterprise, file geodatabase, or personal geodatabase; in a folder, it creates a shapefile.
Create Feature Class
Creates a specified number of random point features. Random points can be generated in an extent window, inside polygon features, on point features, or along line features.
Create Random Points
Creates a fishnet of rectangular cells. The output can be polyline or polygon features.
