6.  Run the file "ArcGIS_Desktop_10.7 _149411.exe" to
install ArcGIS.
 After the install finish, ArcGIS Administrator will
prompt, choose Advanced (ArcInfo) Concurrent

shape file you want .

15. Exercise 2.7. -Changing the order of the layers
displayed on the map
 Generally, it is best to have polygon (area) themes at the
bottom, followed by lines, and on top, the point themes.
 Data required -four data layers in Ethiopia, which
describe: Layer name Description
 Ethio_town.shape towns in Ethiopia.
 Ethio_road.shape Road network .

Frame should have the colors you chose to
display.
Step 23-When you have finished experimenting with
the alternative Roads views, select the layout view .
Using the “Insert” menu, add a Title, Scale Bar,
and North Arrow to your map

36. Step 24- Return to the menu option “Insert” and click

following the instructions

38. Exercise 2.18 .Preparation of inset map
Step 1- Add data from introduction to Arc GIS chapter
two Ethio _region
Step 2- Select Oromia region by select tool
Step 3- Export Ormia region – Add data – Export
data save as -shape file and the exported put on the
table of content .
Step 4– un check Ethio region- check Oromia region
Step 5- Prepare final map lay out –insert map – title –
legend North arrow –data frame - etc
