Adding grid data to the map

The Add Grid Data tool allows you to browse to an existing grid feature dataset and perform the following functions:

• Create a grouped layer of all grid feature classes based on the grid database design in the ArcMap table of contents.
• Reapply symbology defined in the grid features, removing the requirement for layer files.
• Specify grids to be displayed based on query parameters.

Pasos:

1. Start ArcMap.
   Sugerencia:

   If the ArcMap - Getting Started dialog box appears, you can open a new or existing map document. You can also check the Do not show this dialog box in the future check box and click Open.

3. Click the Add Grid Data button on the Production Cartography toolbar.

   The Add Grid Data dialog box appears.

4. Click the Browse button next to the Dataset text box.
5. Navigate to a grid feature dataset in the appropriate database.
