Esri EADP19-001 Exam - Topic 7 Question 86 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 you really just change the data frame? Isn’t that risky?

Georeferencing sounds complicated, not sure if that's the best way.

I think projecting the reference layer is a better option.

I practiced a question similar to this where we used geodatabase topology, but I wonder if that's necessary for just editing features.

Georeferencing sounds familiar, but I feel like it might be more complicated than just changing the coordinate system.

I think projecting the reference layer might be the way to go, but I can't recall if it affects the original data.

I remember we talked about changing the data frame's coordinate system in class, but I'm not sure if that's the best option here.
