1. Create an Area Properties map coverage.

Create a new coverage with the "Area Proprties" type. 1. Create new coverage from scratch. Select Map Data in the Project Explorer and use the New Coverage right-click command. Use the New Coverage dialog to create a new coverage by selecting the desired coverage type, and naming the coverage. 2. Create new coverage from an existing coverage.

Select the Create Feature Arc tool and create an arc representing the side of the bridge in the graphics window.
