ESRI Canada - ArcGIS Survey Analyst

ArcGIS Survey Analyst

ArcGIS Survey Analyst is an ArcGIS Desktop extension that provides surveyors and GIS professionals with tools to create and maintain survey and cadastral data in ArcGIS. With this application, surveyors can centrally locate, process, and manage their data, enabling them to work more efficiently. GIS professionals use ArcGIS Survey Analyst to manage and continually enhance the accuracy of their data using existing survey methodologies.

Since measurements are stored in a GIS database, survey computations and adjustments can be performed on these measurements to determine GIS coordinates (of survey points), and GIS features can be linked and snapped to the surveyed points in the survey layer. In addition, new GIS features can be added to existing GIS feature layers using the survey-computed locations.

ArcGIS Survey Analyst 9.2 introduced a new workflow called Cadastral Editor.

Using the Cadastral Editor, individual parcels and subdivisions are entered using coordinate geometry (COGO)-based plan entry. An integrated Cadastral Fabric is developed from all relevant survey and plan data using least-squares adjustment for the best-fit representation of the parcel layer. Cadastral Editor also tracks parcel history and lineage by maintaining the legal recording dates.
