Working with Map Topology in ArcGIS

Description

ArcView users can use map topology to perform a host of topological edits that do not require the use of geodatabase topology. Map topology is a basic form of topology used on simple features in a map during an edit session. These features may be stored in either a shapefile or a personal geodatabase feature class. With map topology you can simultaneously edit features that overlap or touch. This focused course provides an overview of map topology and gives ArcView users a foundation for working with map topology tools.

Who Should Attend

This course is primarily designed for ArcView users, but is also useful for ArcEditor or ArcInfo users who want to learn about map topology.

Learn How To

• Create a map topology.
• Modify coincident feature geometry.
• Set snapping preferences for an edit session.
• Move a boundary shared by two features.

To complete course exercises, you need the following software:

• ArcGIS 9.1 for Desktop, ArcGIS 9.2 for Desktop, or ArcGIS 9.3 for Desktop (ArcView, ArcEditor, or ArcInfo)

Presentation

• Use Map Topology editing tools

Students should be familiar with basic ArcMap operations and basic editing tasks.
