The ArcMap Data Catalog is an add-on that enables you to easily load data from the GIS Data Repository into your map. To add the Data Catalog to your default ArcMap project, follow the instruction below. Once you have performed the following steps, the Data Catalog button will appear in all of your ArcMap projects--you will not have to repeat these steps. - In ArcMap, go to Tools->Customize... .
- In the dialog, select the Commands tab.
- Click "Open from file" and navigate to \\ditgis02\enterprise_gis\arcgis\arcmap\tools\data_catalog\
- Select CityAtl_datacat_ver_1.0.0.dll and click "Open".
- Click "Add" in the popup window.
- Drag and drop the tool displayed in the right-side window to your toolbar.
Now you can click on the button any time you want to add data from the GIS Repository.
