Module 1--Importing ArcGIS Pro Maps to Adobe Illustrator
This assignment started out quite easily; however, I hit a few snags that I am trying to determine if it was my issue or an update to the software. Overall, it was a neat assignment and I am impressed how I can use ArcGIS Pro, transfer a web map to ArcGIS Online, and then export that map to Adobe Illustrator to actually design the overall map. I am not sure yet, but I think this might solve some of my best recommendations about usability and tools to design a map.
A few lessons learned, so far includes:
--I could not save my files directly from Adobe Illustrator, because it is on my personal laptop, whereas I use the GIS virtual desktop from UWF for all my GIS functions. I overcame this by saving those items to my desktop and then dragging them over to the share drive on the GIS portal. I am waiting to see if there is another method, so I don't continue to do this the hard way.
--I had serious issues finding some of the buttons for tools, especially the toggle lock tool to unlock editing to manipulate my extent. I never did find the tool and I am hoping to resolve this issue.
The results of the lab is the below map which was produced in ArcGIS Pro, exported to ArcGIS Online, and then exported to AI. I know I have a lot to learn, but I look forward to it.
