This new two-day course extends the content of Building Geodatabases I (for ArcEditor 8.3 and ArcInfo 8.3) by discussing the advanced capabilities for modeling and working with linear features in the geodatabase. Discussion topics include creating, editing, and performing analyses on geometric networks; managing linear referenced data for displaying data that occurs along linear features; and migrating coverage arcs, routes, and events to the geodatabase.

Audience

Goals

• Build and perform analyses on geometric networks

• Set rules for editing and analyzing on geometric networks

• Build route systems in the geodatabase

• Edit route systems

• Dynamically locate events on route systems

Geometric networks: Storing a network; Simple vs. complex network features; Logical network; Flow on a geometric network; Performing network analysis; Network weights; Restricting the area of a trace; Complex edges; Building a geometric network; Setting network rules; Validating connectivity rules.

Linear referencing: Linear referencing basics; Creating routes; Storing routes in the geodatabase; Hatching routes; Rules for editing routes; Tools for editing routes; Displaying route anomalies; Reroute events; Advanced route events options; Transforming events.

• Participants should complete Building Geodatabases I (for ArcEditor 8.3 and ArcInfo 8.3) or have equivalent knowledge.

Duration: Two days
