ArcGIS Survey Analyst

 ArcGIS Survey Analyst 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.

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

With ArcGIS Survey Analyst you can:

• Reduce the time needed to maintain parcels while increasing the accuracy of cadastral data and related GIS features
• Maintain parcel data (including record information from deeds and survey plans) in a cadastral fabric dataset. The fabric delivers a seamless coverage of your parcel boundaries and associated survey control free of gaps and overlaps
• Create accurate parcel and subdivision data via direct data entry of the record information using specialised coordinate geometry tools. Track the history of all fabric changes
• Use the survey (least squares) adjustment feature to accurately and incrementally update your fabric with each new survey plan. In parallel, you can also adjust related GIS layers such as building footprints, roads, and easements
• Create, edit, and manage GIS features based on survey measurement data and survey procedures
• Integrate survey measurements into a GIS database using field observations and survey data collector files
• Manage and process survey data with a set of comprehensive tools
• Store survey measurements, points, and computations in a GIS database for future analysis and reuse
• Perform coordinate geometry computations
• Perform survey computations such as traverse and least-squares adjustments using the original raw observations
• Create custom importers and tools using a standard development environment
