View source for Using the sandbox with GIS tools

{{Warning| The sandbox and the client background map are used by the {{IMSMANG}} application so if they become broken then the Map pane inside {{IMSMANG}} will stop working.}}

The sandbox option is '''NOT''' recommended to use but if you decided to do it anyhow please:
# make a copy of the file based geodatabase
# make a copy of the client's mxd file
by '''following''' the instructions below and use copies when working with ArcGIS.

If the client's current background map is called ''World'' then you will find the file based geodatbase in ''C:\IMSMAng\client\gis\sandbox\World\map''.
<ol>
<li>Close the {{IMSMANG}} client.
<li>Copy the folder called ''IMSMA.gdb'' in ''C:\IMSMAng\client\gis\sandbox\World\map'' to e.g. IMSMA_3Aug.gdb. 
<li>Open ArcMap with an empty mxd or start ArcCatalog.
<li>In ArcCatalog right-click on World.mxd and select ''Set Data Source(s)''
<li>Set the name to the output file to e.g. ''World'''_3Aug'''.mxd''.
<li>Click on '''Select All''' button.
<li>Click on '''Replace All''' button.
<li>Set ''Replace with'' to e.g. ''C:\IMSMAng\client\gis\sandbox\World\map\IMSMA'''_3Aug'''.gdb''.
<li>Click on '''Replace All''' button.
<li>Verify the result and click on '''OK''.
<li>Open the new mxd, ''World_3Aug.mxd''.
