In this tutorial we will add one of the Lantmäteriet WMS services to ArcMap.

• Start a new ArcMap document (File > New.. > Blank map)
• Add one of the layer files from the folder \\gis.slu.se\gisdata\lm\webServices. This can be done in several ways, choose the one you like best.
  • One way is to click File > Add Data > Add Data…
    • 
    • Go to Folder Connections. 
    • If you don’t have a saved connection to the server, click the folder icon.
      
      
    • 
    • Add the path to the server and click OK
    • 
    • Drill down through the folders to lm\webServices and select the layer file you want to add.
    • 
  • Alternatively you can drag the file directly from an ArcCatalog window. You connect to the server by typing/pasting the path into the Location text box and hit Enter. The folder will appear in the catalog tree below.

  • A map service can contain many layers, click the plus sign to select which one you want to display.
    • 
  • When you add data to a new ArcMap document, the first layer added will set the Data Frame projection. The Höjdmodell map service has WGS84 (EPSG:4326) as default projection, that’s why Sweden might look a bit unfamiliar. See this tutorial if you want to change the Data Frame projektion.
