In addition, all of the ArcGIS Desktop products include a rich framework for geoprocessing including the ability to use tools, build models and scripts, and build complete work flows.

With ArcView you can:

• Select based on attribute queries (i.e., zoning = "Multi-use")
• Select based on location (within a distance of, intersects, completely within, touching, not within, and many more)
• Create Buffers based on values or attributes
• Clip one data set using another data set
• Merge multiple data sets into a single data set
• Union multiple data sets into a single data set
• Join attributes of data sets together based on spatial relationships (Spatial Join)

• Create reports using standard reporting tools and wizards
• Utilize more than 90 tools in the geoprocessing framework in dialogs, models, and scripts
• Build analysis models using ModelBuilder
• Build data analysis scripts using standard scripting tools

• Trace upstream
• Trace downstream
• Find common ancestors
• Find connected network features
• Find loops in network
• Find disconnected network features
• Find path
• Find path upstream
• Find upstream accumulation

ArcView allows access to basic linear referencing tasks for creating and displaying route systems.

• Create and edit routes in a shapefile or personal geodatabase
• Route data conversion from one route system to another
• Query route data based on location and value
• Hatch route data based on standard route hatching mechanisms
• View dynamic segmentation using dynamic symbology
