These instructions are for an ESRI Sample Script. The sample provides an
Access database that can be used to record contact
information and a metadata importer that can be used to add that
contact information from that database to the existing
metadata.
These instructions are for preparing your data and ArcMap project(s) to write to
a CD or DVD. These same steps can be adapted to share data and projects via FTP
or when “ZIPping” a project to share.
These instructions describe how to use .cal files to calculate field
values in a dataset's attribute table. The .cal files are calculation
expressions stored separately. The calculation expressions usually hold
VBA code. [Sample .cal files]
Geodatabase precision has a very different meaning than coordinate precision for
coverages. Geodatabase precision is the "conversion factor"
between your floating-point map units and your integer storage units.
These instructions address how to convert a tabular list of point coordinates into
a new ESRI shapefile. The users can also use them to save data to a geodatabase
feature class.
Editing polygons and polygon boundaries can be tricky and often lead to unwanted
duplication or error. These instructions can help guide the user in choosing the
correct tool for the job.
These instructions address making a new shapefile dataset and populating it by
on-screen digitizing features. Both ArcCatalog and ArcMap are utilized. The
instructions can be adapted to apply to a geodatabase feature class.
When converting a shapefile of polygon features containing island polygons, e.g., lakes
containing islands, to a coverage the island polygons themselves convert, but the polygons
containing islands do not.
These instructions help users create a more dramatic looking image file out of an
ESRI generated hillshade grid. It allows users to determine which cell
values are most abundant in the grid file and only export those to an
output image format.
These instructions describe a work-around when you receive an error in ArcView or ArcTools
that says “number of shapes does not match number of table records”.
