You’ll start by adding the feature classes you created in the Habitat_Analysis geodatabase to ArcMap.

Click the Add Data button on the Standard toolbar, then double-click the folder connection to your local copy of the tutorial data, for example, C:\GP_Tutorial. Double-click the Habitat_Analysis geodatabase to open it and select all feature classes except vegtype_clip and futrds_buf; use the Ctrl key to select multiple feature classes. Click Add. The feature classes are added to your ArcMap session as layers.

When working in ArcMap, you access toolboxes through the ArcToolbox window. By saving the map document you save any changes made to the ArcToolbox window. This allows you to have different versions of the ArcToolbox window with each map document you create, depending on which tools you want to use for each project.

Click the Show/Hide ArcToolbox Window button on the Standard toolbar to open the ArcToolbox window if it is not already open.
