What's New in Editing at ArcGIS Desktop 10.0

Description

At ArcGIS 10, the ArcMap editing environment has been simplified and enhanced to reduce button clicks; provide a more intuitive, sketch-based editing experience; and decrease the time required to create and maintain your GIS data. This course introduces the new editing interface and key workflows you need to understand. You will work with feature templates, which automate many of the tasks involved with creating and editing features, and also get experience using the Parcel Editor toolbar, which replaces the ArcGIS Survey Analyst Cadastral Editor at ArcGIS Desktop 10.0.
