What is the SOCET GXP SEE module used for?
View, edit, and query feature layers using the SEE module for SOCET GXP.
The Spatially Enabled Exploitation (SEE) module for SOCET GXP lets analysts capture daily collects directly into the ESRI® geodatabase using the SOCET GXP Multiport viewing window. Users can delineate objects and areas of interest visible in imagery with vector graphics, create new feature databases, or connect to existing feature databases; both are defined by specification files.
Analysts connect to multiple geodatabases from different sources and interact with them individually or collectively in one Multiport. Databases supported are ESRI multi-user and personal geodatabases, and the SOCET GXP feature database. Functionality includes capabilities for creating spatial, temporal, and attribute queries, populating feature attributes, creating feature style sheets; copying features between databases; importing and exporting shapefiles; and animating feature layers.
Follow the steps outlined below to use the SOCET GXP SEE module to connect to and display an existing feature database.
- From the Workspace Manager, select File > Database Connect.
- In the Feature Database Connect window, select the feature database type then select the database. Click the Connect button.
- Load an image to the Workspace Manager that geographically corresponds with the feature database.
- Click on the expand indicator next to the feature database to view and select specific feature classes.
- Select image data and feature classes, then right-click and select Open > All in One.
Tip
From the Workspace (Data view), double-click on the loaded feature database to query the database and create display layers.
Keyboard shortcut
