How do you create a spatial reference?

You can create a spatial reference with a set coordinate system, spatial domains, and precision. The spatial domains and precision of the output spatial reference can be further modified using the XY Domain, Z Domain, M Domain, Template XYDomains, and Grow XYDomain By Percentage parameters.

How do you make a spatial reference match a data frame?

In your ArcMap TOC, right-click the data frame name name (which is Layers by default) and click Properties. On the Data Frame Properties dialog box, click the Coordinate System tab. In the upper window of this dialog box, expand the Layers folder and select the layer you want to match. Click OK.

What is spatial reference?

A spatial reference describes where features are located in the world. Most spatial references will be either geographic (using a geographic coordinate system) or projected (using a projected coordinate system).

What three components does a spatial reference consist of?

You could say that the spatial reference consists of three parts: A coordinate system, with its associated datum, map projection and parameters, and in some cases an elevation (denoted by z values), and, in some cases, distances along lines or paths (denoted by m values).

What are the 5 concepts of spatial analysis?

Six types of spatial analysis are queries and reasoning, measurements, transformations, descriptive summaries, optimization, and hypothesis testing.
