Feature Services? No Knead to Worry
I've been baking bread for about a year now with
my version (I don't measure very closely) of the popular no-knead recipe pervasive on the web.
Water, Flour, Salt, yeast (or, sourdough starter: water, flour, and yeast that has come to a natural "agreement") ... stir, ignore for a while, then bake.
I do wonder how much better my bread could be
if it was hard to make? Right now the
bread I am making is really good, and really easy.
Feature Service editing in ArcGIS for AutoCAD is
likewise a pretty easy thing to do (although maybe not as tasty warm out of the oven with butter and jam.) Because I have access to feature services for editing, I simply make the
connection, zoom to an area I want to edit, then add the feature
service. From then on I'm working in
AutoCAD with AutoCAD entities and AutoCAD tools. As long as things get onto the right layer
I'm free to edit my ArcGIS data with AutoCAD.
ArcGIS for AutoCAD has a ribbon and tool palettes to assist me in getting things in the
right place, but I can use all my AutoCAD skills to create things on the
right layer any way I see fit.
Here is a brief YouTube video that outlines the
experience in ArcGIS for AutoCAD 300.
