1.--c:\demo\avdemo\avdemo.apr (desktop--files on lab server and local)

p:\briggs\poec6381\avdemo\avdemo.apr (lab: files on lab server and local)

general demo of ArcView; load from H21 using project on p: drive

revamped 9/98 to incorporate planogis demo, downtown Dallas, and UTD

(see 3 and 6 below)

has NOT been ported to laptop

updated 9/99 for p: drive; no longer works on briggs c: ‘cos of disk space

2--c:\demo\avdemo\esridemo.apr (on laptop & desktop —files on jaz drive)

--m:\briggs\poec6381\avdemo\esridemo.apr

old overview of GIS and ArcView based on ESRI Atlanta demo

previous version of 1. Above

Data for this demo is on jaz drive therefore it works the same from laptop or desktop.

Be sure D1 disk is in jaz drive.

3--c:\demo\planogis (on laptop and desktop—files on both desktop and jaz)

--m:\briggs\poec6381\planogis\planogis.apr

general overview using Plano data, including hot links

View0 is the same as the NTGISC demo

requires jaz drive for highest density ortho on laptop, but will run without

4--c:\demo\planoqd (on laptop)

--p:\briggs\poec6381\planogis\planoqd.apr

comparison using scanned USGS quads sheet for Plano

updated 9/99 to shift to p:\ and to incorporate rectified sheet.

scanned quad sheet is on the jaz drive

5 --d:\demo\avfiles\daycare (on jaz drive)

--m:\briggs\poec6381\avfiles\daycare (general lab)

--c:\briggs\poec6381\avfiles\daycare (on Toshiba & Micron laptops for lab

overflow)

class Tempe demo

this is not a project

interim files are saved on M:\briggs\poec6381\avfiles\daycare\avintroX.apr

6--d:\demo\orthodem\orthodem.apr (on jaz drive—also runs from laptop)

--c:\demo\orthoutd\utdortho.apr (laptop)

orthodem.apr: demo of downtown and UTD with gps route overlay

--layouts incorporated into consort4.ppt

utdortho.apr: shows UTD only—will run on laptop without jaz drive.

7 d:\dem\dallasdemo\downtown.apr

doesn't work; not sure what it is

Powerpoint presentations are: C:\GIS :

  1. Open the AVDEMO project (c:\demo\avdemo\avdemo.apr—some orthos missing 9/99)

(p:\briggs\poec6381\avdemo\avdemo.apr—works 9/99)

This demo was revamped 8/98 to incorporate local (plano, downtown, UTD) demos.

Folders in C:\demo\gisdemo moved to c:\data\gisdemo on 9/99 for consistency with lab

However, not all digital ortho tiles present ‘cos of disk space shortage on my PC

Same apr should work in both office and lab.

(lab server needs to be mapped as p:\drive in office)
