Working with Survey Data in ArcGIS

1. Working with Survey Data in ArcGIS CVEN 2012 – GeomaticsUniversity of Colorado – BoulderApril 2006Alyssa McCluskey

2. Topics Covered • Benefits of integrating survey data and GIS data • Workflow for integrating survey and GIS data • Tools for loading survey data into a geodatabase. • Managing survey data in ArcCatalog™ • Computing and adjusting survey data in ArcMap™ • Editing geodatabase features.

3. Background • Assume you have used a TPS instrument to perform a survey • You have downloaded the data from the instrument to your computer • You now want the ability to use the data in your GIS

12. Making a Feature Survey Aware Survey-aware features can be linked to survey points without directly changing their position. This means you "track" the locations of survey-aware features as they are edited through the standard methods. They are linked to the survey points, so you can ultimately update their geometry to the survey point locations. Non-survey-aware features can also be edited by digitizing so they snap to survey points; however, these features are not "aware" of the underlying survey points to which they are snapped.
