This week we were to take last week's data files (two raster aerial photos of the UWF campus and a buildings and road file) and modify them by a) creating a new file (athletic fields) and digitizing its contents from the aerial map, b) adding one building via digitizing to the buildings file, and modifying the shape of two others, and c) adding in a road from the aerial photo - the one in the southeast corner that connects the larger road's oxbow ends - again, via digitizing.This was a useful second part of the lab exercise after the first part, which was to complete the editing module in ESRI's Virtual Campus class following ESRI's step-by-step directions. I had a short period of panic when I added my files one by one only to discover that one of the aerial photos was invisible (because I'd forgotten to do the last step in georeferencing in the previous week's lab, I think) but eventually I got that sorted out. I am also glad to learn a bit more about the actual properties of the files we create and edit.
