Abstract

Use Tools to Their Potential: Customize with GIS and Python
Track: Fire, Rescue, and EMS
Authors: Chris Deuchars

I often find room for improvement in processes that I am performing. ArcGIS offers the flexibility to customize and build tools. I did just that: from the customize mode dialog box, to scripts, toolboxes, ArcPy, add-ins and more. I found and created solutions that handle the tedious parts of the job. There are ways to save time, improve accuracy and efficiency. Redesign and refine your systems and workflow, optimize, eliminate, and automate.
