I took just a few waypoints on my way home from work this week. First stop was to grab Herb from his office, then we drove on I-26 for several miles. Due to the construction on the Brevard Road bridge, the drive was longer to account for a detour. I took two more way points on the detour since I was stuck in traffic. The final point was at my house; I included a zoomed in dataframe showing just my house. Pete, what is the best way to create the lines for this?

I revised the AB Tech Campus map to illustrate new features in the geodatabase. I created subtypes for the sidewalk layer by noting its condition, which ranges from good to fair based on the integer 1 to 3. The sidewalk conditions are shown in brown with various line styles. I also created a coded value domain for the parking lot layer to note valid parking by faculty, students, and other. There did not appear to be any changes to the map based on the domain. Nor did I see the domain choices while editting. I must be doing something incorrectly. Finally, I added a topology class in the geodatabase. The topology rule states that buildings must not overlap others buildings in the feature class. Several errors were found, which are illustrated in red on the map.
Herb and I are off to Charlotte to visit my in-laws for the Thanksgiving holiday. Should be very exciting.

I finally finished with the Town Annexation map. Made several changes based on the comments from class on Wednesday. I had some trouble with the icons, as they were much too small originally. Also noticed an error in how I grouped some of the annexations, so they were duplicated in two of the maps. Hopefully all my calculations are correct, as I believe the map will be displayed in the Town Council room.
Happy Halloween everyone!

I may actually be understanding the SDE world a bit more following today's class. It's a bit difficult to remember all the steps required to create instances, users, permissions, etc. I did list a few additional steps on the Google Document, so that should help everyone. My big problem today was forgetting to version each feature class so others could view the data.

Pete also helped me a bit after class with the GNIS data. Although I had tried to edit the projection at the office, it didn't seem to work. The data didn't move at all, it wasn't a matter of having chosen the incorrect projection. But Pete was able to make it work, as he usually is so all is well. One more item to cross off my list at work.
