Digitizing with ArcEdit

1. Digitizing with ArcEdit

2. Associating attribute data with spatial data

3. INFO directory/file

4. Moving or copying coverages • In Arc: prompt • Arc: copy <old_cov> <new_cov> • Arc: copy p32 z:\p32 • Arc: kill <cover> all • Arc: kill p32 all • House-keeping • Arc: lc • Arc: describe <cover>

5. Using ArcEdit • Define the working environment • Define the digitizing environment • Define the drawing environment • Define the coverage to be created • Define the coverage to be edited • Define the feature type to be edited • Select the features to be edited • Perform the edits • Save the edits

6. Working environment • To retrieve/save coverages in a folder ArcEdit: &workspace c:\workspace • To retrieve/save coverages onto your zip disk ArcEdit: &workspace z:\

7. Digitizing environment • Define the type of digitizer ArdEdit: digitizer sgmg3 com2:9600:7bit:even • Define where coordinates are from ArcEdit: coordinate digitizer ArcEdit: coordinate digitizer p32 ArcEdit: coordinate mouse

8. Drawing environment • What to draw and how to draw ArcEdit: drawenv arc label tic node ArcEdit: draw ArcEdit: drawe arc label ids tic ids ArcEdit: draw ArcEdit: drawe node on ArcEdit: drawe node error

9. Create a new coverage ArcEdit: create p32 Tic ID: ArcEdit: create p32 p25 Tic ID:

10. Edit an existing coverage ArcEdit: edit p32 ArcEdit: edit p32 label ArcEdit: edit p32 arc ArcEdit: edit p32 node

11. Setting feature types ArcEdit: editfeature arc ArcEdit: editf label ArcEdit: editf tic ArcEdit: editf node

12. Selecting features ArcEdit: select ArcEdit: select many ArcEdit: select box ArcEdit: aselect many ArcEdit: aselect box

13. Edits ArcEdit: add ArcEdit: move ArcEdit: delete ArcEdit: undelete

14. Example ArcEdit: &workspace z:\ ArcEdit: digitizer sgmg3 com2:9600:7bit:even ArcEdit: coordinate digitizer ArcEdit: edit p101 ArcEdit: drawe arc label tic ids ArcEdit: draw ArcEdit: editf label ArcEdit: add …. ArcEdit: select box …. ArcEdit: move …. ArcEdit: editf arc ArcEdit: select many ArcEdit: delete ArcEdit: add ….. ArcEdit: drawe node error ArcEdit:

15. Editing arc vertices ArcEdit: editf arc ArcEdit: select ArcEdit: vertex add ArcEdit: ve move ArcEdit: ve delete

16. Editing dangling arcs ArcEdit: editf arc ArcEdit: select dangle ArcEdit: delete

17. CLEAN and BUILD ArcEdit: clean ArcEdit: build Also in Arc: Arc: clean <in_cov> {out_cov} {dangle_distance} {fuzzy_Tolerance} {POLY|LINE} Arc: build <cover> {POINT|LINE|POLY}
