What can I expect at the Seminar?:

The primary objective of the seminar is to give the student (as a user of paper - printed USGS topographic maps), the skills and tools to deal with digital USGS topo maps & GPS (Global Positioning System).   Therefore, allowing them to draw and find land parcels, with several different coordinate systems ( Latitude / Longitude, UTM and State Plane ) AND also draw Public Survey Aliquot parts.  In Public Land states, where there are Sections, Townships, Ranges and PMs, that is the way lands are indexed.

GENERAL TOPICS COVERED:

    By way of a brief overview of this seminar, the whole 1st half is dedicated to teaching the student ONE way to:

    1.) setup the system options;
    2.) find the right map;
    3.) creation and management of Annotation Source files;
    4.) using the "best" cursor for you desired task;
    5.) create a new custom Big Topo Map;
    6.) drawing parcels ( or lines in general ) via freehand and snapping on corners drawing straight lines between;
    7.) drawing sectional Aliquot parts via PLS (Public Land Survey ) Tool and PLS Magnet tool;
    8.)  adding text / map labels;
    9.) printing and more.        Again, only ONE way is stressed.

    The 2nd half of the seminar is "fleshing out" the "one way" skeleton that was presented in the 1st half with some of the many options to the basic steps previously completed, AND the use of many other tools.  There are so many different ways to get the same task done, one of the options might suit a student better than another, therefore the options are discussed.

    Topics and tools covered include:
    GeoLink and Auto GeoLink,
    Displaying Metes and Bounds Parcel shapes created in and imported from Deed Plotter,
    Multiple or Global Coordinate Editing,
    Token Helper Options,
    GPS - Global Positioning System Tool,
    Moving Map Data to the Hard Drive,
    Displaying Multiple Annotations File at the same time,
    Layering Images,
    Hill Shader,
    Location Triangulation,
    Elevation,
    Line of Sight

    More topics / tools covered include:
    Import & Export Annotations from other sources,
    Import & Export Shapefiles,
    Inserting Section Aliquot parts directly from Text,
    Inserting NON-Aliquot Section Resurvey Tracts,
    Searchable Texas Rail Road Commission Land Grant Tracts,
    All Topo Maps & DOQQs ( Digital Orothophoto Quarter Quads) ,
    Dealing with "Mr. Sid" formatted aerial files and more
