H05.mxd, uses feature classes stored in the geodatabase H05.gdb. 2. H05_shapefiles, uses feature classes exported from the original feature classes in H05.gdb i - Load the .mxd ii - Check for missing layers in the table of contents at the left (marked with red exclamation mark). Fix these layers by Properties -> Source -> Set Data Source -> iii - Check map symbology matches that of printed map. Fix incorrectly rendered layers by Properties -> Symbology -> Import -> (Import symbology from another layer in the map or from a layer file) Browse -> iv - Add the basemap for comparison with the shapefiles
