Integrated Informatics Inc. releases Repoint and Repath 3.1.

Integrated Informatics Inc. announces their latest version of the popular path-reference tool, with Integrated Repoint and Repath 3.1. This new release includes several new enhancements and features, detailed below.

New/Updated Tools

Spatial Reference Logger: Purpose is to find map documents that may not have correctly defined geographic transformations

• Inventories the spatial reference of each data frame and its transformation(s) in use
• Compiles a list of unique spatial references from valid data sources
• Compares the Esri suggested transformation for the data frame area of interest against the ones in use
• Provides a ranking of the suggested transformation against the in-use transformation

Data Inventory Diagram has been replaced with a Heat Map Diagram – the new diagram does not require any external dependencies, libraries, installers, etc. and is far more readable and reliable especially for large inventories.  The diagram/matrix is generated as an Excel file and the general flow of the diagram is:

• Data sources along the left
• Counts of data source usage to the right of the data source
• Indicator column to show if the data source is broken or not
• Map documents and layer files along the top
• Hyperlink to the layer file or map document embedded in the file name (allows for click to open for review purposes)
• Number of layers in a map document or layer file beneath the file name
• Order of map documents/layer files and data sources is from complex/most used to simple/least used.
• Colors in the body of the chart are cool for valid data sources and hot for broken data sources
• Numbers in the body of the chart represent the number of references to a data source in the document

Promote Map Documents and Promote Layers tools have been consolidated into one tool

New Capabilities

• Logging tools now log the cases of encountering a folder that can be listed (know it exists) but cannot be entered (missing privileges)
• Logging tools will avoid looking into the recycle bin folder on a drive
• Reporting of Layer Visibility in the Broken Layer Logger tool
• Implemented support for removing broken table view (standalone table) in the Broken Layer Cleaner tool
• Improved handling of table views in the cases where a table name (base name) may not be unique across SDE schemas
• Improved identification of and logging for cases where Esri guesses the names of feature class and table names during remapping
• A new optional Skip Folders parameter has been added to several tools, this allows for specific folders (and child folders) to be skipped

Toolbar

• Complete overhaul of the toolbar, it was getting too large due to the number of partner tools (i.e. from Folder and from Table)
• Added an option on the toolbar to open tools as “from Folder” or “from Table”, not all tools have both options
• New icon set used to allow for easier visual distinction between the tools
