In the root folder of this CD, please refer to: ‘Metadata.*’ for metadata information; ‘ArcView Themes.*’ for theme descriptions and the data dictionary of the ArcView attribute information; ‘AutoCAD Layers.*’ for a description of the drawing file structure; ‘Legend.*’ for an ascii version of the Legend and marginal notes as on the published harcopy Preliminary Map 3425. The directory structure on this CD is: ROOT FOLDERS SUBFOLDERS ArcExplorer AutoCAD Dwg_Files Dxf_Files Fonts GIS_Data Image_Files Legend_Files Shape_Files The ‘Root’ contains text files describing the data as well as instructions on how to view the different data types. The ‘ArcExplorer’ folder contains the ArcExplorer software. The 'AutoCAD' folder contains AutoCAD drawing (Dwg) files in the 'Dwg_Files' subfolder and AutoCAD drawing interchange (Dxf) files in the 'Dxf_Files' subfolder. The last two numbers of each file name distinguishes the file version related to AutoCAD. The 'Fonts' folder contains font files used by ArcView for symbolizing the map. These fonts must be installed prior to viewing the data sets in ArcView. Complete installation instructions can be found in section 5 (Step by Step Procedure for Opening ArcView project 'Kirkland_Lake.apr'). The 'GIS_Data' folder and its' subfolders contain all the files necessary for viewing the map in ArcView and ArcExplorer. A complete listing of all files included in this CD can be found in section 8. 2. Projection Details This map was compiled onto a digital mosaic of Ontario Digital Topographic Data Base 1:20,000 OBM maps, using a Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection and grid system, North American Datum 1927. 3. AutoCAD To view the Kirkland Lake sheet in AutoCAD, open 'KL_Geology**.dwg' in the 'Dwg_Files' subfolder of the 'AutoCAD' folder. Select the appropriate version as distinguished by the last two digits of the file name. Because several software packages can import the AutoCAD DXF format, various versions of 'KL_Geology**.dxf' are available in the 'Dxf_Files' subfolder. 4. Arcview Before opening the ArcView map, you must install all font files from the 'Fonts' folder into the 'Windows\Fonts' or 'Winnt\Fonts directory of your PC. Refer to section 5. (Step by step Instructions for ArcView project file). ArcView symbols are actual font characters. All structural and deposit type symbols on the Kirkland Lake sheet are derived from the font files within the 'Fonts' folder. For ArcView to properly symbolize the structural and deposit themes, these font files must be available to the program. A composite marker set (mdi_points.avp), used to symbolize the MDI theme, was also created using the 'MDI Points' font file. This file is located in the 'Legend_Files' folder. ArcView creates separate files for each 'theme' on a map. Each theme has a feature geometry file (.shp), a database file (.dbf), a lookup index file (.shx) and spatial index files (.sbn, .sbx) . Other files used by ArcView include the legend property files (.avl) and legend palette files (.avp). All these files are linked together by a 'project file' (Kirkland_Lake.apr). Kirkland_Lake.apr is the Arcview 3.2 project file which may be also opened with Arcview 3.1. A project file houses a directory of, and the path to, all of the files that comprise a map. You can view the map from the CD by simply double clicking on 'Kirkland_Lake.apr' or you can copy the 'GIS_data' folder to any directory on your hard drive. The project file has been formatted to read all associated files on the initial startup of the project file. If you save the project to your hard drive, avoid moving the files from their existing folder. Otherwise ArcView will ask you to locate the Shp and Dbf file for each individual theme when opening the project. 5. Step by step Instructions for ArcView project file. * Step by Step Procedure for Opening ArcView project 'Kirkland_Lake.apr' 1. Copy the 'GIS_Data' folder from the CD to a directory on your hard drive. Because the files were copied from a CD, they will all be write protected. To remove this, select all the files in each folder and subfolder, right click to select the 'Properties' dialog box, clear the 'Read-only' check box and click the Apply box. * 2. Open the 'fonts' subdirectory in your 'windows' or 'winnt' directory, or from the 'Control Panel' select 'Fonts'. Under 'File', click 'Install New Font'. If this option is not available to you, open a DOS window, switch to the windows directory, and type 'attrib fonts +s'. Shut down windows, and restart your computer. The option 'Install New Font...' will now be available under the 'File' menu. Select 'Install New Font...' and highlight the files located in the 'Fonts' directory on your CD drive, click OK and windows will install them. It is crucial that you install all of the fonts before you open the 'Kirkland_Lake.apr' project in ArcView. All map symbols will be improperly symbolized if you skip this step. * 3. However, if you open the project file and save it before installing the fonts, the map symbols can be re-created within ArcView by loading the appropriate legend file(.avl). To recreate the map symbols for themes, double click on the theme in the Table of Contents (TOC) portion of the 'View' window in Arcview. The legend editor will open. At the top of the dialogue box, select 'Load' and browse to the "Legend_Files" subfolder which contains the '.avl' files for each theme (see section 8 for list). All legend files are labeled according to the theme they represent. Once the appropriate legend file has been selected, the theme will be re-symbolized when you select the "Apply" button in the legend properties dialogue box. This can be done for all themes that were improperly symbolized. * 4. Most themes have their legend properties hidden in the TOC portion of Arcview's 'View' window. To view these properties, select 'Hide/Show Legend' under the 'Theme' pull down menu. The Legends were hidden so that all themes will be visible on the screen. Any theme that is 'hidden' will not be included in the ‘Layout’ legend (for printing or plotting). * 5. All ArcView themes have a corresponding '.dbf' file. These files store all the attributes related to that theme. These attributes can be viewed and queried in Arcview or opened directly in other programs such as Excel and Access. 6. ArcExplorer If you do not own a copy of Arcview but would like to view and query this GIS data set, we have provided you with a copy of ArcExplorer, a lightweight GIS data explorer developed and distributed at no cost by ESRI. ArcExplorer can work on its own with local data sets or as a client to Internet data and map servers. It is a complete data explorer, allowing users to display and query a wide variety of standard data sources. To install ArcExplorer, double click aeclient.exe’ to extract the necessary files. Next double click AEJavaSetup.exe to start the installation wizard and follow the instructions for the installation procedure. Once in ArcExplorer, select 'Open' from the 'File' pull down menu and browse to the 'Kirkland_Lake.aep' in the 'GIS_Data' folder. All themes available in ArcView are present within this file. It is important to note that ArcExplorer is simply a GIS viewer and does not contain the full functionality of ArcView. For information or support on ArcExplorer, please visit their web site at 'www.esri.com'. 7.
