Switching to ArcGIS Pro from ArcMap is an invaluable resource for those looking to migrate from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro. Rather than teach Pro from the start, this book focuses on the difference between Pro and ArcMap for a more rapid adjustment to common workflows.

---

The arrival of ArcGIS Pro has brought a challenge to ArcMap users. The new software is sufficiently different in architecture and layout that some workflows must be revisited or modified. Current ArcMap users are pressed for time, trying to learn the new software while still completing their daily tasks, and they need a book that helps them learn ArcGIS Pro quickly and efficiently. Switching to ArcGIS Pro from ArcMaptransitions a user who is familiar with ArcMap into the mechanics of using ArcGIS Pro. Rather than teaching ArcGIS Pro from the start, this book focuses on how ArcGIS Pro is different from ArcMap. Covering the most common and important workflows required for most GIS work,Switching to ArcGIS Pro from ArcMapleverages the user's prior experience to enable a more rapid adjustment to ArcGIS Pro. Note:This e-book requires ArcGIS software. You can download the ArcGIS Trial athttp://www.esri.com/arcgis/trial, contact your school or business Esri Site License Administrator, or purchase a student or individual license through theEsri Store.
