Video tutorials (screencasts) – digitising a geological map in ArcGIS Desktop
The following screencasts document the process:
- Evaluating and setting up your map for digitising and georeferencing.
2. Covers setting up the file geodatabase. Digitising the contacts and symbology for the contacts.
3. Covers generating unit polygons and applying symbology and labels to the unit polygons.
4. Covers a bit about digitising other map elements such as faults, anticlines, structural data. I discuss topology, topo overlay and how to export your map in vector format.
