ERSI Associate 2: Questions With In-Depth Solutions
Which definition best describes a feature class?
A collection of features that have different attribute fields but the same
geometry type and spatial reference X
A collection of features that are editable within an ArcGIS Pro editing session
A collection of features that have the same attribute fields and spatial
reference but various geometry types
A collection of features that have the same attribute fields, geometry type, and
spatial reference Right Ans - A collection of features that have the same
attribute fields, geometry type, and spatial reference
What is the best way to migrate existing shapefiles to a geodatabase?
Using third-party tools
Copying a shapefile into a geodatabase in the Catalog pane
Using import and conversion tools
Copying and pasting using File Explorer Right Ans - Using import and
conversion tools
Why would you want to create a feature dataset in your geodatabase?
You want to create a geodatabase component that requires you to have
feature classes in a feature dataset, such as a topology or geometric network.
All geodatabases must contain at least one feature dataset.
You have several shapefiles that you want to combine, and a feature dataset is
the best way to accomplish that.
You view feature datasets as a great way to organize feature classes by
geometry type. Right Ans - You want to create a geodatabase component
that requires you to have feature classes in a feature dataset, such as a
topology or geometric network.
Which statement is true regarding feature classes stored within a feature
dataset?
They can only be used within the file geodatabase.
They can have differing coordinate systems.
They are not editable in ArcGIS Pro.
They must have the same coordinate system. Right Ans - They must have
the same coordinate system.
Which statement about mosaic datasets and license levels is true?
, You need an Advanced license to view, manage, and create mosaic datasets.
You can create, view, and manage mosaic datasets with Standard or Advanced
licenses.
You can view and manage mosaic datasets with a Standard license, but you
need an Advanced license to create them.
You can view mosaic datasets with a Standard license, but you need an
Advanced license to create and manage them. Right Ans - You can create,
view, and manage mosaic datasets with Standard or Advanced licenses.
Which action causes a change in schema?
Changing the shape of a polygon
Deleting a field
Updating an attribute value
Digitizing a new line Right Ans - Deleting a field
Which three items are considered to be schema? (Choose three.)
Fields in a table
Spatial reference of a feature class or feature dataset
An empty feature class
Point, line, and polygon features
Projects that store layers referencing geodatabase feature classes
Attribute values in a table Right Ans - Fields in a table
Spatial reference of a feature class or feature dataset

When creating mosaic datasets, which two actions are best practices? (Choose
two.)
Using UTM or state plane coordinate systems
Building pyramids on the raster datasets
Using the WGS 1984 Web Mercator Auxiliary projection for use on the web
Adding rasters into a feature dataset Right Ans - Building pyramids on the
raster datasets
Using the WGS 1984 Web Mercator Auxiliary projection for use on the web

with other users?
Export it as XML.
Share it as geometry.
Share it as an image.
