Actual exam question for Esri's EADP19-001 exam

Question #: 64
Topic #: 9

An ArcGIS user is tasked with editing a layer containing a large number of features, using another layer that is in a different coordinate a system as reference. The user adds the layers in ArcMap and starts an edit session. A warning message about editing data in a different coordinate system is displayed.

What is the most efficient way to edit the data to avoid potential distortion in the data?

Achange the data frame's coordinate system to match the coordinate system of the layer being edited

Bproject the reference layer so the coordinate system matches with the one that needs to be edited

Cgeoreference the reference layer and start a new edit session

Dcreate a geodatabase topology with the two layers and add a rule so new data always snaps to thereference layer

Careful with that topology option, D. Sounds like it might be overkill for this task. I'd stick to good old-fashioned projection to keep things simple.

Hmm, I'm leaning towards C. Georeferencing the reference layer seems like the most straightforward way to go. Plus, it sounds like the least amount of work.

I would go with option B, projecting the reference layer to match the coordinate system of the layer being edited.

I agree with Shantell, changing the data frame's coordinate system seems like the most efficient solution.

Option B for sure! Gotta get those coordinate systems aligned before editing. Don't want any funky distortions messing up my perfect map.

I think the best way is to change the data frame's coordinate system to match the layer being edited.
