Now you will be prompted to select the method to use to create the samples. You can
select to create points, grids, or polygon regions.
10.
Now you will be prompted to select the parameters for generating the samples based on
the method you selected above. Once you have entered the parameters you desire press
the OK button.
11.
Next you get to verify the samples that will be created. At this point you see a preview
of the samples but you can also use the provided Rotate Grid or Shift Grid tools to
rotate and shift the sample grids to position them as you choose. Press OK when you
are satisfied with the samples that will be created.
12.
You will now be prompted with an option to merge polygons that are small with other
larger polygons (if you selected the option to Create Sample Grids). If you want to
automatically merge the small polygons check the option and then select the
percentage of the area to merge by. This percentage is based on the original grid size
you selected.
13.
The last step in this wizard, which is optional, is to auto-fill an attribute with
sequential values. By default Sample ID will be selected and this tool allows you to
generate values for all samples automatically based on a scheme you define such as
"Sample 1, Sample 2, Sample 3, etc". You can cancel this step if you don't want to
auto-fill values for an attribute and finish the creation of your samples.
14.
You will now be returned to the map and you should see the samples that you just
created, labeled by Feature ID by default.
NOTE:
Point samples can be added to the samples that are created via the Create
Samples wizard. Samples can also be manually selected and deleted.
