Lesson 03: Fiber Cable Management

Introduction:

This is the stand-alone version of lesson 3 out of 11 in the CrescentLink for ArcGIS Pro Learning Path.

Because the basis of all network connectivity is derived from the correct attribution and collection of cables, placing cable is a fundamental building block of CrescentLink Network Manager.

This lesson reviews how to use Esri's native drawing tools to create and edit features based on fiber cable templates that are loaded in by default in the CrescentLink training data. It will also show you how to attribute the data associated with each feature so you can begin keeping track of all the vital pieces of information in your networks.

Finally, this lesson will show you how to create your own feature templates, to reduce the amount of time spent duplicating work.

This course utilizes the CrescentLink for ArcGIS Pro Training Resources dataset (Download here).  If you do not already have this dataset, please download it and use the project within throughout this course.

Topics Covered:

• Fiber Cable as a feature

• Feature Templates

• Introduction to Esri drawing tools for line features

• Adding and editing vertices in an existing line
