17. Answers
◊ Ans 01: Can not to be edited. They are inherent filed of Shapefile.
◊ Ans 02: Total are 06. .shp, .dbf, .prj, .shx, .sbn, .sbx.
◊ Ans 05: ‘Digitizer’ is an example of ‘Manual Digitizing on Tablet’.
◊ Ans 06: ‘.dbf’ is used to save ‘Attribute Data’.
◊ Ans 07: in ‘Point mode’, vertices are placed at desired levels. A slow
process. Less repetition. In ‘Stream mode’, software inserts vertices at
pre-defined distance or time threshold. A half-automatic process, with
more repetition.
◊ Ans 08: On Screen, Point mode.

18. Answers
◊ Ans 09: On Screen and On Tablet.
◊ Ans 10: ‘.prj’.
◊ Ans 15: Only at the time of creating shapefile. On it is created, it cant be
undone.
◊ Ans 16: Then that shapefile don’t know its spatial reference, and it ll show
error of missing spatial reference when you try to add into the Arc Map.
You can specify the coordinate system from Arc Map then temporary.
◊ Ans 17: It ll be added, but does not overlay with each other.

20. Answers
◊ Ans 26: Precision is: 06, and Scale is: 03.
◊ Ans 27: Text and Numbers.
◊ Ans 28: ‘.mxd’ is for Arc Map document. (Extension)
◊ Ans 29: As every feature in attribute is related to one and only feature on
the real world.
◊ Ans 33: Does not hold topology nor require import or export. Easily
drawn. Supported by many software. Normally not a heavy file.
