Hi Nick
We don't map large survey events like this, other than a central point.
When carrying out an HER search I would tend to rely on my memory
(possibly not a great idea these days) and knowledge of the area to pull
out large events like this. We don't map the full extents of DBAs for
the same reason - instead I would map the particular site area that the
DBA related to. Our older event records/polygons need a lot of work and
nicely demonstrate how horribly cluttered large area events can become.
If retrieval was a real issue you could always maintain a separate layer
for these types of events - as long as you remember to check it.
Best wishes

Subject: Mapping Big Events
Hi guys
another thing I have been wondering.
How do people map big events? Or do you not bother mapping them?
For example I am thinking of things like a Parish Survey event or a
larger area event such as an NMP project over a big area, or a survey of
an AONB etc.
I have been doing HER enhancement of records like these and the problem
is if you map them as a polygon it quite often masks other events, but
if you don't map them then you have to come up with a way of searching
which pulls these in.
We use HBSMR, but I would be interested in anyone's thoughts on this, as
its likely to be a common issue regardless of software.
thanks
best wishes
