I'm currently about 2 months into a trial of ArcGIS that I downloaded through a code found in the back of a copy of a book called "Getting to Know ArcGIS" purchased via Amazon. I recently had a hard drive crash on my laptop and switched to a newer model. I was able to preserve all of my files, but no downloaded programs were able to be transferred. What steps should I take to redownload the software onto my laptop? I already used the download code, so I fear that the website won't allow me to download the software to multiple devices. I apologize if this is an obvious question, but thank you in advance for any helpful advice that can be offered.

Hi- I have a feature layer that is a NOAA coastlines file. It is composed of a bunch of tiny polylines. I am trying to create a polygon on the area enclosed by these polylines. However, I keep only getting half of the polygon I need. I have tried dissolving the initial feature layer so that there is only one continuous line which has not worked. I have, under the assumption that there is a gap somewhere, tried to snap together all the polylines along their vertices. I have also tried the function "extend line" but that has been running literally all night with no end in sight. Does anyone know what I need to do in order to get the entirety of the polygon I am after?

I'm a beginner and i want to know the difference between a layer file and a feature class, and in what context you think a layer file would be useful or when it would be more practical to use a feature class. Thanks! best!

Hi folks. This is a really basic question, I know, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. I accidentally added a callout with the go to XY tool and cannot remove it. I have searched all over online and in the ArcGIS help page and haven't found anything. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance, Tom

Hi All, Hopefully a simple question. In the online version of Map Viewer, is there a way to hide the basemap provided. I would like to use a different base layer that I could upload to the layer file but seems like there is no blank option of the default baselayer. It is really annoying since it is based on old USGS topos and has symbols not geolocated (such as wetlands).
