National Streamflow Information Program Network Analysis--Attachment

1. Install ArcInfo 8.0.2
2. Create a new directory and Copy 6 files from the CD to your hard drive -
• goal_1.mxd
• goal_2.mxd
• goal_3.mxd
• goal_4.mxd
• nsip_sites.ldb
• nsip_sites.mdb
3. Remove the 'Read-only' property attributes on the 6 hard drive files.
4. Fire-up ArcMap and open goal_1.mxd (hard drive file)
5. When this map opens, little red explanation points (!) should display for all layers in the Table of Contents area, between all the checkboxes and the layer names. Click the top one, next to Active HCDN. A popup 'Data Source' window should display. Select and double click the 'nsip_sites.mdb' file on your hard drive and then select the 'all_sites_g_point' object so this name displays in the 'Object name' field and click 'Add'. This should automatically take care of assigning the data source to the top 7 layers.
6. Assign the 'data source' to the remaining layers by clicking on the explanation point next to the 'RF1 Streams' layer. These remaining layers could remain on the CD. In the popup 'Data Source' window, you may have to add your CD ROM as a valid data source by clicking on the 'Connect to Folder' button in the tool bar. Click on My Computer, and click on your CD ROM. On the CD, under the nsip_data directory, click on the 'rf1_str.shp' file for the 'RF1 Streams' layer. This should automatically assign the remaining layers' data source to your CD ROM.
• You should now see a map of the lower 48, w/ major rivers and the BenchMark, NAWQA and NASQAN sites.
7. Save the map -- to save the changes to this goal_1.mxd map.
• Repeat steps 2 - 5 using map files goal_2.mxd, goal_3.mxd and goal_4.mxd.
8. Zoom into an area so that the map scale is somewhere between 1:1-4million. More detailed maps will display when this scale is less then 7 million.
9. 'Map Tips' have been assigned to the maps, sites will display the station name, and RF1 streams will display the stream name. 'Mouse around' to make sure these 'Map Tips' display.
10. Turn layers off and on, zoom in and out, pan around, and identify/list feature attributes.
