Overview - This two-day course covers working with linear features in the geodatabase.  Participants learn how to create, edit, and perform analyses on route systems; how to manage linear-referenced data for displaying data that occurs along linear features; how to edit linear features; and how to migrate coverage arcs, routes, and events to the geodatabase. This course is taught using the ArcEditor license of ArcGIS, since the configuration of many of the advanced features of the geodatabase requires either ArcEditor or a higher license of ArcGIS.

Audience - This course is for spatial data managers who have a basic understanding of ArcGIS Desktop applications and are ready to take advantage of the linear referencing capabilities in the geodatabase environment. New and existing data managers waiting to migrate to the geodatabase will benefit from this course.

Topics Covered -
• Linear referencing basics
• Creating simple and complex routes
• Storing routes in the geodatabase
• Hatching routes
• Rules for editing routes
• Tools for editing routes
• Displaying routes
• Editing events
• Advanced route events options
• Transforming events

Prerequisites and Recommendations - Registrants should have taken Introduction to ArcGIS II (for ArcView, ArcEditor, and ArcInfo) and Geodatabase I (Topology in the Geodatabase) or have equivalent knowledge.  Attendees should be familiar with ArcMap and ArcCatalog.

It is NOT required that registrants have extensive experience with Geodatabases before taking this course. The focus of the course is to provide an introduction to Linear Referencing in the Geodatabase ArcGIS environment with hands on exercises using local data.
