Arcgis10.1: Digitization of Polygon Entities

Aim:

To create Polygon entity features for the given topographic sheet, using ArcGis Editing tools.

Procedure:

Step 1: Map Input

Identify the Polygon Entities and the location datasets. For this sess

ion, Perennial water bodies were located as polygon  entities on the given topographic sheet.

Step 2: Map Processing

·         Create a New polygon Shapefile in ArcCatalog (target Folder) and Add Field for ‘Name” in the Attribute Table of polygon Shapefile layer.

·         Start “Editor” and symbolize the line entities using “Create Features” polygon Construction tools.

·         Save and Stop “Editor”

·         Label the Polygon entities with the “Name” of the water bodies. In this case, Names were not accurately identified; hence Dam Capacity was selected for labeling.

·         Layout map with elements of Title, Sub-Title, Scale, Arrow,  Legend and credits

Step 3: Map Display

Export map to Jpeg format

Conclusion:

The Polygon entity features for the given topographic sheet are processed and displayed using ArcGis.
