ArcToolbox has a very important function in the operation of ArcGIS. If we have an ArcInfo license we will have lots of tools in ArcToolbox. However, because there were so many, sometimes we are having trouble finding the tools that we want to use. The following tutorial shows how to create and manage your own toolbox.
- Open ArcMap (or ArcCatalog)
- Activate the ArcToolbox window
- Right click on the folder indux ArcToolbox>
>
- Navigate to the folder where it saved our toolbox
- Click on the New Toolbox
- Give the name, for example gistutorial.tbx
Note: If you want to be at the top of our toolbox, use the number before the name of the toolbox, for example 1gistutorial.tbx
7. Select the toolbox> Open
8. Right click on the toolbox that was made> New> toolset
9. Create a toolset as follows
10. Copy and Paste toolbar from ESRI standard toolbar into the toolset that we have made
All the tools are often used we put on a toolset that we have made.
11. Save the toolbox to the file
To save the toolbox to the file can be done by right click on toolbox 1gistutorial> Save As
Note: Toolbox refers to the file (Step 6). If the toolbox file was moved, it needs to be added back into the project.
