JDOffice 1.2
before you do any other work with JDOffice is your best choice. After doing so,
select the last boundary option (Create crop boundary from existing field
boundary) on the Boundary Preferences screen. Driving the boundaries will
ensure the most precise representation.
Create field boundaries: (one farm at a time)
1. From the Data menu, select Create Field Boundaries.
2. In Select a farm, choose the farm.
3. Check the box next to each field that you want to create field boundaries
for.
4. Check the box(es) for the layer(s) within the selected field that you want
to create the crop boundary from.
• If multiple layers in different years are selected, JDOffice will average
them together to produce one field boundary per field.
• If there are multiple crops in a field, multiple layers for each crop in the
same year will be selected; they will merge to form one field boundary.
5. Click OK; a message will alert you if it was successful.
Field Documentation Files and Field Boundaries
When you unload field documentation files and view your farm maps for the
first time, JDOffice will check to see if the fields have a boundary.
If they do not, you will get a warning. You can either
create a boundary, or leave it as is. Several options
can be contained within one field documentation file,
so be certain of the field boundary.
You will not want to create a boundary if you documented a small area of the
field because the boundary that JDOffice will create won’t match the actual
field boundary. However, if you do not make a boundary, you will not be able to
see the farm map - only the field map. This is a good example of why you would
want to drive your field boundaries and use them each time to maintain
consistency and accuracy.
Export Field Boundaries
You will need to export the field boundaries if you want to order soil type maps.
Export field boundaries:
1. From the File menu, select Export>Field Boundaries.
