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
