Esri EADP19-001 Exam - Topic 8 Question 41 Discussion

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?
A) change the data frame's coordinate system to match the coordinate system of the layer being edited
B) project the reference layer so the coordinate system matches with the one that needs to be edited
C) georeference the reference layer and start a new edit session
D) create a geodatabase topology with the two layers and add a rule so new data always snaps to thereference layer

Wait, can changing the data frame really fix distortion issues?

Creating a geodatabase topology seems a bit advanced for this situation. I wonder if it's necessary for just editing features.

Georeferencing sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it would really solve the issue of distortion during editing.

I remember practicing a similar question where projecting the reference layer was the solution. It seems like a good choice here too.

I'm a little confused by the options here. Georeferencing the reference layer seems like a lot of extra work. And creating a topology? That's overkill for this task. I think I'll go with projecting the reference layer.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. I'm pretty sure projecting the reference layer is the most efficient way to avoid distortion. That way, the coordinate systems will match up and I can edit with confidence.

Ah, I remember this from the Linux administration course. The correct answer is C - "hosts: files dns" is a common and valid entry in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file. I'm confident in that.
