ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox are designed to work together to perform all GIS tasks. For example, you can search
for and find a map document in ArcCatalog, then double-click it to open it inside ArcMap. You can then edit and enhance your
data through the tools available in the ArcMap editing environment. You can search for data in another location
through the database connections in ArcCatalog. Once you have found the data you’re interested in, you can drag and drop it as a layer in ArcMap. You can also drag and drop from ArcCatalog
onto tools in ArcToolbox. Once you have created new geographic information using these three applications, you can record metadata for the resulting datasets using ArcCatalog.

Menus, tools, and buttons switch between document types.
All documents (views, tables, charts, layouts and scripts) within an ArcView session are stored in one file called a project (.apr).
A View has a Table of Contents that lists the themes in the order that they are displayed.
A Chart is a graphic representation of data in a table. They are dynamically linked to the attribute data of a theme.
Tables contain descriptive information (attribute data) about their associated themes.
A Layout is a presentation-quality map that contains all essential map requirements.
ArcGISArcGIS
A Graph is a graphic representation of data in a table. They are dynamically linked to the attribute data of a theme. Tables contain descriptive information (attribute data) about their associated themes.
Map Documents store maps, data frames, tables, graphs, layouts, and VBA macros (Visual Basic Applications) in a single interface.
Toggle between the Data View and the Layout View.

The Table of Contents list data frames and their associated layers. A Data Frame groups layers that are to be displayed together on a map.
Both the Data View and the Layout View allow you to explore, display, edit, and query your data. However, the Data View is better for more focused analysis as it displays the content of only the active data frame. The Layout View, however, is better suited to laying out your map page since map elements are displayed and multiple data frames, graphs, and tables can be shown.

ArcMap offers:
• a feature attribute window that appears when the mouse is paused over a map object.
• a magnifier window allows you to zoom in without changing the extent of the view.
• spatial bookmarks identifying particular geographic locations, extents, and scales that can be saved and called up later.
• multilayer data transparency that allows you to see layers underneath layers.
• on the fly data projection conversion.
• enhanced labelling functionality.
ArcGISArcGIS
ArcMap also offers the capability to: • an extensive collection of predefined styles for map elements. tools for exporting maps in a number of graphic forms (e.g., .jpg, .emf, .png, .pdf).• tools to verify SQL (Structured Query Language) statements before execution.• multiple predefined layout templates or tools to create your own.
•edit in either map space (data view) or on the page (layout view).
• edit multiple layers simultaneously.
• Built in Extensions – Network Analyst, Spatial Analyst and ArcScene and ArcGlobe (the new 3D Analyst).
