ArcGIS Network Analyst tutorial

The ArcGIS Network Analyst extension allows you to build a network dataset and perform analyses on a
network dataset. The best way to learn Network Analyst is to use it. In the exercises in this tutorial, you will do
the following:
• Use ArcCatalog to create and build a network dataset from feature classes stored within a
geodatabase.
• Define connectivity rules and network attributes for the network dataset.
• Perform various network analyses in ArcMap using the Network Analyst toolbar.
• Learn how to use the Network Analyst geoprocessing tools to create models that automate analyses.
To use this tutorial, you need to have ArcGIS installed with the Network Analyst extension and have the
tutorial data installed on a local or shared network drive on your system.
