Overview

This course provides an introduction to storing and maintaining cadastral data in a geodatabase using COGO (Coordinate Geometry) tools in ArcGIS. Students learn basic concepts of the geodatabase data model and a process for editing parcels. In course exercises, they practice displaying, symbolizing, and editing parcel data as well as entering subdivisions into existing parcels. The course also teaches how to create and modify tax map annotation. This course is taught using an ArcInfo license of ArcGIS since many of the editing tools require an ArcEditor or ArcInfo license.
